Universal & Atari ordering GOG to removing this game from sale was a mistake. I had to use a friend's GOG installer to replay this classic gem. What's the problem here? Vin Diesel didn't get paid enough? Or they just got greedy with the rights?

please, we need to have this playable i own it on steam but the drm makes impossible to play as the key wont work with it. we need this masterpiece preserved for the future of gaming
An incredible sequel to an incredible game. The refinements to gameplay and visuals make for a worthy follow up to an already ahead of its time game. This game also includes both games in one package, so this might be the one to preserve in the end. This is the peak of its own franchise (the movies themselves aren't anything to write home about) so please, GOG, hit up Atari and bring this franchise to your platform!!

This is one of the best licensed games of all time. It has no right to be as good as it is but it's genuinely really really good. It's a shame that it's been delisted from everywhere and has kinda fallen into obscurity. Would love to see it relisted.
Bought this on console and it came with escape from butcher bay which was an added bonus, so i was able to play both games. I wasn't expecting them to be as good as they were, but fair play i enjoyed them both.

A great game, sadly unavailable. You can't buy Chronicles Of Riddick anywhere but a pawnshop nowadays. Even if you acquired it on PC it has technical issues. After the Alpha Protocol story, this sounds like a perfect candidate for GOG's game resurrection wizardry.

I used to absolutely LOVE these games! Right around the time i turned 12 or 13, somewhere in there, my dad took me to see the The Chronicles of Riddick. I not only sparked my love for this universe, but lead me to Butcher Bay on the original xbox. Phenomenal stealth/action/fighter with great voice acting, fun combat, and Vin Diesel himself reprising the role of Riddick. Fast forward a few years and I was able to get my first pc with a dedicated GPU. One of the FIRST game i bought on disc was Assault on dark Athena, bundled with the aforementioned BB. I can not tell you the countless hours i poured into the two, upgrading my pc on several occasions just to get it to look better ahahaha. I cant tell you either, the amount of joy, gratitude, and damn near love i have for GoG for doing what you do... If this happens to make it to the store, you've got a guaranteed customer right here!

It was a great deal back in the day; two full games, both prequels to a cult classic sci-fi film series that felt like original, interesting games instead of a (at the time typical) direct tie-in. The first person melee, focus on stealth, interacting with characters and a fleshed out sci-fi world, all really made this a memorable game. It's a crying shame it's impossible to play right now, anywhere outside of an old console copy -- and the clock is ticking on those copies, since the hardware will fail, and the discs will break. I own a PC boxed copy but the DRM servers are down, so you can't even launch it anymore. I'd be first in line to pick this up if it came back to GOG; we want to play it again, and we're down to give you some money for the trouble. Seems like a win-win to me.

This is one of the best and most innovative FPS games ever + It's pretty much one of the ALL TIME BEST Movie property games! Damn we need a REMASTER!!! + a Sequel!
If we can get this game back we'd also get back Escape from Butcher Bay Remastered for free, we need this back so bad... Seriously I don't care what needs to happen it's way better than our current situation where people have to seriously consider piracy in order to play a great game.
Those games also need your vote!

Perfect Dark
Perfect DarkPerfect Dark is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 video game console. It is considered the spiritual successor to Rare's earlier first-person shooter GoldenEye 007, with which it shares many gameplay features. Perfect Dark was first released in North America on 22 May 2000; PAL and NTSC-J releases followed soon afterwards. A separate Game Boy Color game, also titled Perfect Dark, was released in August 2000 as a supplement to the game and allows certain features within the Nintendo 64 game to alternatively be unlocked via a Transfer Pak. The game features a single-player mode consisting of 17 main missions in which the player assumes the role of Carrington Institute agent Joanna Dark as she attempts to stop a conspiracy by rival corporation dataDyne. It also features a range of multiplayer options, including a co-operative mode and traditional deathmatch settings. Technically, it is one of the most advanced games developed for the Nintendo 64, with an optional high resolution graphics mode and Dolby Surround Sound. A Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak is required to access the game's campaign and most of the multiplayer features.

Perfect Dark
Perfect DarkPerfect Dark is a remastered release of the first-person shooter video game by the same name. Developed by 4J Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios a decade after the original's 2000 release, the remaster features several technical improvements, including higher resolution textures and models, a higher frame rate, and a multiplayer mode that supports the Xbox Live online service. It was released for the Xbox 360 video game console in March 2010, through the Xbox Live Arcade download service. The story of the game follows Joanna Dark, an agent of the Carrington Institute organization, as she attempts to stop a conspiracy by rival corporation dataDyne. Perfect Dark was under development for nearly a year and its game engine was completely re-written from scratch to support several Xbox 360 features. Therefore, although the game plays exactly the same as the original, the code and renderer is different. The game received generally favorable reviews. Some critics considered the relatively unchanged game to be outdated, but most agreed that the title was a solid revival of a classic.
