Summary

Game Description

In Advent Rising, a common legend pervades the galaxy - that of a powerful, ancient race that will one day unite the universe. Millions of cultures from vastly distant worlds revere and hallow these mythological beings known as humans. One race, the Seekers, know humans actually exist and are threatened by their potential power. Under the guise of benevolent explorers, the Seekers travel throughout the galaxy in a desperate attempt to eradicate any human society they unearth. You assume the role of Gideon Wyeth, a remnant of the last human outpost, on the brink of discovering the incredible powers that lay dormant within him. It is these powers the Seekers are so desperate to suppress.

Where's the sequel?

I really liked this game. It had a decent storyline and easy to use controls. My main concern is that once you get your "powers", the game becomes WAY to easy, even on the hardest level settings. I was really looking for improvements in the sequels but since Majesco went bankcrupt I guess I'll never get the chance.

Innovative as hell is right

If you want a game that is Epic beyond belief this is a game to pick up. The story is presented excellantly and cut scenes aren't something to scorn they're something to look forward to. The combat system is a break through with the right anologe stick switching between targets and causing mayhem. The only problem with this game is the camera which can put up a fight sometimes and halts the fun for a little while. Otherwise this game is a breakthrough with story lines and in third person shooters.

A Must Have

Advent Rising: an amazing story with great gameplay and controls. The Incredible cinematics are just fun to watch but at times you will notice that the game is a little ahead of itself and will start to bog down at times. Although there is a learning curve when playing later is the game because all weapons can only be controlled and applyed thorough the D-pad and can get a little overwhelming in frantic battle. The vehicles and A.I. could have been better but all in all it is surely to be atop ten of 2005.

Too much, too early?

I don't consider myself a harsh game critic, but when the expectations of a game reach critical mass, I expect the developers to go all out to deliver. Advent Rising is one of those games. Described as an "epic" the story and span of the game are almost too good to be true. Advent delivers as far as action, and sound, but the frame rate of the movement, and CG cut scenes knock off a whole point of what really could have been a 5.0 game. You add the bugs, and the watered down graphics, and you have to knock off another half point which brings this game to a 3.5. Advent was so promising that even I bought into the hype, which I will admit is sort of embarrassing, but overall, it is a good action game with good sound/music and very fast paced action (when it isn't lagging, jumping, and skipping). I think another 5 to 6 months would have gotten at least a 4.5 from me.
