What Gamespot Users have to say about Advent Rising

  • Rating:4

    Advent Rising is one of the most shoddily done games I have ever played.

    The name Advent Rising is enough to inspire blind rage in many gamers. It has a lot of very negative publicity about it, ranging from bad reviews to their botched contest. Knowing all of this, I figured that I would buy ... Read Full Review

    Good game, but could have been so much more.

    I bought Advent Rising on a whim while looking through the used games at Gamestop, and it was worth my 9 dollars. I was pleasantly surprised with the story and what your character can eventually be able to do. However,... Read Full Review

    This is the probabley most underrated game here on gamespot, Advent Rising is a much better game than given credit for.

    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

    YOU PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KIDDING!

    This was an incredible game! How can you agree with an unjust review like that! The story was brilliantly told, the ending had me thirsting for more and the game play wasn't half as bad as you people claimed it was! If y... Read Full Review

    Well worth the 20 bucks on Steam

    I have to say I managed to fly through this game in 2 days (not constant play) You can do it in a day if you so desire. The Game although not really replayable since by the end you would have maxed out all your powers an... Read Full Review

    this game is pretty good if you are into really good storylines but the gameplay itself isnt the greatest. Its pretty cool how you can use combinations of psychic powers and get some dual rockets to rock the seekers back... Read Full Review

    All the excitement you get from the beginning quickly dies.

    GAMEPLAY: At first, I thought the gameplay was great. The 'flick stick' method of shooting when there are couple of guys on screen works great. As the game goes on, more enemies appear and the 'flick stick' basically f... Read Full Review

    Gamespot Review does not do Advent Rising justice!

    First of all, I would like to say that I was utterly disappointed when I saw that Gamespot's stance was 6.3 on this title. There seem to be countless people comparing this masterpiece to Halo, which is impossible. Not on... Read Full Review
