Rating:8.9
Inventive gameplay, interesting story, and decent graphics make up this game of intense firefights.
Advent Rising is just plain fun. It's best described as a third-person Halo, combined with Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, and Max Payne. There are a few technical problems: dragging framerates, but they don't make the g... Read Full Review

This game is a classic example of a potentially great game hiding right behind technical flaws and unpolished features.
While playing this game, the entire time I kept coming back to the thought that this game looks and feels like it could have been a truly great game if it had just a couple months more production time. This strikes me a... Read Full Review

Don't know how a company can delay a game for 3 years and then release it in this state.
Now I heard about Advent Rising only 3 months ago and I was giddy with anticipation. But when I saw those reviews I felt really bad about the game. There's something I learned from anticipating games like Pariah and Clo... Read Full Review

Needed more time in development. Really cheap feeling game experience.
Oh man... After playing the Revenge of the Sith I didn't think it was possible to have another cheap gaming experience so soon. Boy was I wrong. Advent Rising will have you wondering what went on behind the scenes at Gly... Read Full Review

Not as great as I hoped, but not as bad as many reviews claim
Bottom Line: This game is worth renting if you like science fiction and action games, depsite the low score on this and other review sites. Sure, there are some things keeping it from being a terrific title, but hopeful... Read Full Review

Ambitious but never reaches its true potential...
