It tries hard, but falls flat. Alex Navarro gives you the scoop on Majesco's disappointing sci-fi action game.

    I agree entirely with the video review. After an epic opening the game fizzles out and becomes a tedious button-masher with flawed combat and vehicle mechanics. Despite (or because of) Orson Scott Card's involvement, the story is little more than a shallow cliche. And there's no tactics whatsoever in combat. Overall I found it rather boring.

    It's ashame Majestco put more money into promoting this crap than their truly good game "Psychonauts," but they got their punishment in the form of being reduced to making casual Wii games like "Cooking Mama."

    Alex Navarro's goodbye blog: ->Review that caught me the most flack: Probably Advent Rising. I will still never understand what anyone saw in that game. It was like retarded Star Wars with a broken frame rate. Now there's a box quote for ya!
