When i first played this game, it felt a lot like Halo. Not everything, but like the setting and story. As i advanced in the game, it decreased its similarity to Halo. Halo is a better game. This game has too much glitches. I mean the gameplay is awful. Some chapters are fun and some i don't know why they put in the game. I liked how it ended because it was a big cliffhanger. OK, the story was really good though. Well, it's about a human named Gideon Wyett. His home is in a huge spaceship where his fiancee and his big brother is as well. Well, they find an alien spaceship [these are good aliens] and they tell them that another alien specie by the name of the Seekers are going to kill every human in this galaxy if they have to. So, their ship is invaded by the seekers. A few characters die. I don't want to tell you because they are sort of main characters and this review will just be a spoiler if it did. After that, war begins between humans and the seekers. The next chapters have you going around different planets and finding secrets about yourself. Bada Bing Bada Boom. On the 4th chapter, you learn that you have special powers that no other human has, such as lifting objecting without your hands, using a bubble force against enemies, time-traveling, putting up shields with your bare hands. You use theses powers throughtout this rest of the game. Of course, you unlock new powers further in the game. The last level takes place at the seeker's home which is an island and the war has finally come to an end. As marines and tons of spaceships owned by humans invade the seekers and the chapter will end with the end of the war. There is an epilogue after that chapter in which you will find, holds the cliffhanger. The story was great. The graphics weren't that good but were okay. The only thing you have to worry about is the gameplay and tons of glitches along the way. There is about 5 bosses or six that you will have to battle throughout the game. The hardest was the one in the Epilogue chapter. The second hardest was the one at the beginning of the 5th chapter. This game was pretty good. It's a sci-fi game, what i like.
Advent Rising... when I first heard of this game, I was hoping it wasn't going to disappoint, especially since my favorite writer of all time (Orson Scott Card) was helping write it (I loved Ender's Game and the sequels.... Read Full Review
Advent Rising has been knocked on by gamespot for a time, which is probabley one of the reasons it didn't do too well in sales. Although i thought the game looked really, really good, i've held off of the game because of... Read Full Review
