A true masterpiece. Most underrated game on gamespot!
User Rating: 9.3 | Advent Rising XBOX
This is the most underrated game on gamespot I've seen to date. This game didn't get alot of national play due to the time it came out. There were many huge titles that hit the shelves the same day or around the same time Advent Rising did. And because of this Advent Rising didn't get alot of hype advertising and only a little television y then it was too late for the game to catch on and it was pushed aside by most as a flop title. But for those of us who gave this game a chance know that it is truely a masterpiece. The storyline is probably one of the best parts about this game. It feels like you are watching an epic action movie, not playing some sci-fi game. The voice acting is also award winning. Plus the easy battle system allows you to use your powers and natural abilities with ease. This game was also meant to be a trilogy, but due to it's lack of play, it was canceled. That broke the heart of millions of fans around the world. But hopefully the new game Mass Effect will replace Advent Rising for all those who lost it. The only fault that I saw in the game was it's seldom slow gameplay that caused graphics to jump and glitch a few times in the game. But I think this was because the game was released a little too quickly. Not enough time to perfect little things in the game. I understand that they wanted to release the game before everyone else was occupied with major titles coming out but it killed their reviews. I'm not sure why gamespot gave this game such bad reviews and bashed it to bits when it was winning game of the year awards all over the place along with many other major awards. I would contribute Advent Rising's failure to the crappy reviews sites like this gave it. Everyone read these reviews and forgot all about the game of the year award it received and didn't buy the game. But if you truely want to bring back the trilogy is it possible to do so by buying this game enough. If this game made a comeback it could rekindle the companies desire to continue with the trilogy. But it will take alot of people and it starts with people like you. Go get the game, and tell your friends to get it too. Soon the company will take notice. Good luck and have fun with your new favorite game.
