A shame, but fun...

5.99 is an excellent price for this really fun experience. The physics feel like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Not as fun as The Force Unleashed, but still really fun. It has a lot of content, requiring some time to complete. You can wield guns, you can use melee, and as you progress through the game, you obtain psionic abilities. You can duel wield any weapon in the game, making the bulkier missile launchers look a little funny when duel wielded. The graphics arn't anything special, but they serve their purpose. I guess you could say that they're pretty good for GOG.com. The story is pretty good. Can't compete with a lot of stories out there. As I said before, this game is really long, and requires a lot of game time to complete. The story is really long but ends quite suddenly, leaving you with a "What was the point?" type feeling, after all, this game was meant to be in part of a trilogy. All in all though, this game is very enjoyable, cheap, packs a lot of content, and the story that it does contain is pretty good. I recommend it for those willing to spend a few bucks for a few hours of game time.

Advent Rising

I would not have felt so ripped off if I had paid under 2 bucks for this game when it first came out.

Star Wars meets Halo, starring Mary Sue

Advent Rising begins with first contact. An alien race named the Aurelians visits humanity’s homeworld (not Earth) and warns them that another alien race, the Seekers, is coming to destroy them. Minutes later, they arrive, and destroy the planet! The game had only just started when I reached my shark-jumping moment: the Aurelians teach Gideon how to use the power of telekinesis hiding within him, something all life forms have the ability to do to some extent. Queue montage: Gideon learning how to levitate objects. ...it’s the Force. Yeah, it's a ripoff of Star Wars. Gameplay does not improve in the later levels. It's just wave after wave of aliens, no real difference between the guns, no reason to change guns, no difference between any of the enemy types. I haven't played Halo, but from what I've seen of it, Advent Rising simply copies its gameplay. It's Halo meets Star Wars, and if the sum of the parts equals the whole, then this game is nothing more than a total copycat. The way the Aurelians worship Gideon even though he hasn't done anything reeks of pandering to someone's power fantasy. Gideon is a Mary Sue, but not the player's. I think that's what turned me off most: the Aurelians worship Gideon and treat him with reverence, but what does he do to deserve it? What is he contributing to this fight that the Aurelians are not?! One character outright tells Gideon "It's not easy being God." Second shark-jumping moment. Gideon does not deserve their respect! His powers are not that impressive, there is no justification for Gideon having them, and the aliens could have waged this rebellion without him, so why do they treat him this way?! This means the entire story is about how awesome Gideon is! It is outstandingly acted and animated (except for Gideon’s appearance changing between cutscenes for no apparent reason), but as ambitious as Advent Rising looks, it took no risks with story or gameplay, which means it is not ambitious at all.

Better than I thought.

I just bought this game, and at first I thought that would would just be another low thought out game, using the unreal engine, but I was impressed with the story and game play. The game is fun, yet I am not sure of it's replay value, since I have not yet finished it. I am eager to play this game through. Thanks GOG for another re-release worth trying.
