Advent Rising

Advent Rising - Xbox

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.
