 - Review by a lifelong PC GamerThe negative comments that have been made against this game are completely unfair. It is a great game, and all those for whom it just isn't good enough can go play World of Warcraft or some other game that meets there overrated expectations. If you want a good story and some good action then you should buy this game. It might be shorter than a lot of other games but it has a very engaging story, which despite a few flaws is still one of the best that I have ever seen. I personally hope that they come out with the sequel and soon. They just need to make sure that it is ready because there biggest mistake with the X-Box version of this game was that they came out with it before they had gotten all the glitches out. Rating:  - Rushed production, but still fun!It's obvious that the creators of this game didn't have (or take) the time needed to finish it up properly. While I expected the pre-rendered video cut-scenes to be low-res and blurry (it's a port from XBox after all) I didn't expect such jerkiness and especially not such severe clipping (wow, that alien's cape is hanging though his legs!). Also falling somewhere between irritating and amusing is the inconstancy in the main character's modeling in the cut scenes. One minute he'll have long hair that hangs over his eyes, the next minute it's a military cut. It's as if somebody started changing him to something new, and ran out of time. Also, in another cut scene, a person who supposedly died is shown for a moment sitting in the seat of the person that you saved in their place. That's just poor production. Some of the graphics (and especially textures) ARE uninspired and dull, but overall the game looks alright. I got high frame-rates on my mid-range computer with an economy graphics card. Sound is also not very good. Sometimes the noises of battle are too loud to hear dialog that characters are saying to you, and subtitles are only provided for the cut scenes. Other than weird cut scenes and occasionally sloppy controls, I haven't found this game to be buggy at all. I really had a lot of fun with it, and wish they would have had a chance to write at least a sequel if not both final parts of the trilogy. Even by itself, this game is worth grabbing from the bargain bin for its fun gameplay, occasionally inspiring storyline, and excellent soundtrack. Rating: - Great Game, to short for me.A love this game, the end was great, I usually don't wait to see the credits but I didn't except the game to continue after them. The soundtrack amazing. I give it a 4 starts overall because is to short it lets you wanting for more. Rating: - Great GameI've read somewhere that this game has twice the story and twice the gameplay as Halo. Now I believe it. It's a great game with a great story by none other than Orson Scott Card. Rating: - Great story, great game.I just finnished Advent Rising and half to say I am impressed. I bought this over a year ago the first week it came out, played it for a week got bored and deleted it from my hard drive. Well, a few weeks ago I decided to finnish it and that I did. I really got into the story this time and I'm glad I finnished it because the ending is worth it. Advent Rising is not the best game I've played in the genre but it has a wonderful story that you will find in very few games and keeps the action in the game play.I gave it a 4 for the story it tells. Try it and just have fun!
