Advent Rising was a game I rented years ago, and I loved it. It has one of the best story lines of any game I've ever played (make sure you continue playing after the credits for surprise ending). It had twists and turns throughout the story line that will give the (intelligent) player a real Halo style "Whoa! No Way!" feeling. It has long in depth cutscenes that make Advent Rising almost as much of a movie as it is a game. The problem is that as much time and effort that was spent on story and concept was not spent on graphics and gameplay. The art is very stylized, and you'll run into a lot of glitches throughout. (especially if your system is as old and beat up as mine.) Long review short: If you're like me in that you love a good story and concept, this is the game for you. If you're only in it for Incredible graphics and flawless gameplay, this is not for youRead full review
Story 5/5 | Gameplay 5/5 | Sound 3/5 | Graphics 4/5 When I first saw this game, I thought,"Mega halo ripoff. Not to mention fake $1 million giveaway." However, this game brought something else to the table that I haven't seen in a while (see 1st pro). Pr0s -Can max out super power to highest level immediately after receiving them. -Compelling story, written by Orson Scott Card -switches from shooting, riding vehicles, and running sequences. C0ns -Linear level design. -Feels like developers rushed a little (graphics wise). -Sounds could have been better, more distinct. Overall While playing this game, I never tired of it and went on to play something else. This game is a definite buy.
Excelent Game, Excelent Storyline. Music is a A++. Honestly the game is short, you will beat it in a few games. But the gameplay is so good you will end up going through it a few more, and later a few more times. The storyline is a scifi masterpiece that not a lot of people know about. The controle style is partialy new but works out great in my opinion. I rented the game three diffrent times from Blockbuster before I finaly broke down and bought it because I knew that one day it wouldn't be around anymore. If you like rpg's or the first person shooter type games or even if you don't id say at least try it. The experience makes you just want more and your hooked.

Like this product its exactly like described by owner. Rpg fun to run with guns killing alien people trying to kill all humanity. Kinda confusing to drive the vehicles but easy enough to learn. Friend said a kinda Halo feeling. Don't play for too long periods of time or you might lose interest a bit.
