Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: Advent Rising is the first in an epic trilogy of action/adventure games, offering precise, refined play-dynamics with action-packed adventure and style, wrapped in a visually imaginative universe. A common legend pervades the galaxy -- that of a powerful, highly intelligent ancient race that will one day deliver the universe. They are known as "Humans"; Many religious and philosophical views have developed around these legends, but a group called the Seekers knows that Humans are real. They consider Humans an enemy, and under the guise of peaceful exploration they've travelled the cosmos destroying human colonies. Until now. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A lot to it, but I was still bored.Advent Rising tacks together a lot of different game ideas. It's a run and gun type of game, with the twist of adding magic powers to your arsenal as well. Kind of like Psi-Ops if you've ever played that. It also adds a little bit of action RPG in the mix, of beefing up your abilities when you use them more. Putting it all together, game mechanics work out good, it's just that it feels like the game misses something..the fun. The guns are pretty ho-hum, so I gave those up pretty much ... Read More Rating:  - Very surprised, in a good wayI hadn't bothered with this game for quite some time due to all the negative reviews from critics. I bought the steam version like a year ago since it was priced so low, and just recently decided to play it. I was shocked. The game started out awesome and kept going from there. There are a few key issues with the game. The cutscenes being from the xbox are blurry as to be expected from an xbox port. However there are some clipping issues and screen tearing as well as an unstable framerate in the cutscenes. ... Read More Rating:  - Advent RisingDecent game, but didn't make the port very well. It has some weird graphical hiccups at times and is way too short for the price. I enjoy playing it, but not enough that I'm glad I bought it. Rating: - What was Orson Scott Card thinking?Make no mistake; this was a promising idea. The initial concept is interesting and the gameplay, especially when your character's powers reach a godlike magnitude, can be fun. However, none of that adds up to a game worth the value of the box it comes in. First off, the game is not finished. Ever played KOTOR 2? Hated the fact that the ending seemed rushed and unfinished? Not only is this ending even less polished; it cuts off on purpose. Without the phantom sequels to fill in the plot holes, this is ... Read More Rating: - An underated classicFor some reason, this game was given horrible reviews. That is, at first. Places like IGN and others marked it down badly, for really foolish and miniscule things. Advent Rising, is one of my favorite games of ALL TIME. It has a story to die for, and a main protagonist that really completes the deal. The gameplay is fun, it is new, inventive, and after you finish the game, you are at a lost for words. It leaves you sort of hanging, but there is no signs of a sequel. Hopefully there will be, ... Read More |
