Advent Rising review:
Advent Rising is the first in an epic trilogy of action/adventure games, presented in a stunning cinematic format to deliver an unprecedented variety of game play experiences. Built on the Unreal Warfare engine, it offers precise, refined play-dynamics with action-packed adventure and style, wrapped in a visually imaginative universe.
Advent Rising review:
+ Excellent soundtrack+ Some very nice game moments including fun boss battles+/- Controls were ported over relatively well- No save anywhere features (checkpoint system)- Bad A.I.
Advent Rising review:
Every once in a while, this feature comes in handy (certain psychic powers require it), but it's kind of a vestigial element most players will ignore. (There was also a persistent problem with the collision-detection system that made jumping harder than it had to be; fortunately, precise jumping is such a minor part of the game that it's not a major complaint.
Advent Rising review:
Unfortunately, this long-awaited sci-fi shooter suffers from sub-par graphics, simply god-awful controls, run of the mill third person shooter gameplay and a dull storyline.Read the full review!

Advent Rising review:
Originally released back in May on the Xbox, Advent Rising, GlyphX Games’ first epic installment into what is planned to be a sci-fi action/adventure trilogy, fell a bit short of expectations due to a number of technical faults and control issues. However, in our minds the game was still a great title with a cinematic, story-driven style, incredible soundtrack and a load of intense action sequences. After the Xbox version both wowed and peeved us at the same time, we immediately turned our attention to the upcoming PC version with hopes that many of the technical inconsistencies that plagued the console edition would be cleaned up.
Advent Rising review:
Although GlyphX and publisher Majesco are billing Advent Rising as the first episode in a trilogy, after playing through this game, we think it's unlikely you'll be interested enough to care about any possible sequels. Advent Rising is a disappointing effort on all fronts, and probably isn't worth your time.
