It's not underrated

I played only half of the game. This doesn't mean that the game was awful, but it was mediocre at best. Don't be fooled by the Orson Scott Card credit. This story screams of Halo and a few others. It also doesn't help the poor voice work of some characters plus the bland dialogue. The gameplay is rough, very rough, coupled with uninspired level design. I watched the cutscenes until the end and I still don't care they weren't able to produce the trilogy. Can't recommend this at all.

Could have been great

The gameplay is like Halo, only better. Better story. Better characters. Better bad guys. Even the cliffhanger ending isn't bad. (Of course, having a sequel would be even better) But the bugs! Random crashes, especially on transitions. Starting a checkpoint stuck underneath an elevator. Starting a a checkpoint only being able to look straight up or straight down. Random crashes.

To hell with HL3, I want Advent Rising 2

It's true. The game has bugs, and some of this are very annoying, but non of them change the fact that this is an incredible story by Orson Scott Card back with an extremely fun game play (sometimes simply a chaotic game play - dual wield bazuka...just saying) . I loved how I initially felt completely powerless, almost to the point I felt I couldn't even fight the enemy, and eventually they were like tiny insects compared to my godlike abilities. All this while still keeping the game fun to play and not too hard or easy. Some of the levels are not as good. A bit drawn out. But usually, right after those levels the game would turn things around with some epic battle (boarding the enemy ship on foot while escaping my destroyed vessel made me feel like some sort of a space pirate) or a fun new trick to throw at enemy. Being 11y/o, the graphics are nothing to write home about, but taking this into consideration, the visuals are beautiful, taking you from earth/earth-like vistas, to space (even with a tiny space simulator) and many very different space ships to entirely new worlds and places with an original design. If you love a good story and simply-fun game play, and can handle a few bugs, get the game. You'll love it.

Good game and history but with glitches

It's a shame that they launched a good game like this with many glitches: 1. movement problems in the scene-phase transitions or when trying to move faster or when using several powers together. 2. the mouse stops to respond when we're shooting or using powers. 3. force field's power with problems with collision. 4. phases with problem with collision, what avoids us to pass to next phase. 5. problems when we are holding in the ledges. 6. unbalanced powers with some enemies: you beat a stronger one with one's power but this power cannot beat a weaker foe.

Buggy, broken mess

Advent Rising has one play as Gideon, a human pilot soon confronted with an invasion by aliens. Said aliens look strikingly similar to Halo's Covenant, complete with differently colored troops, and the story beats served in the first few hours clearly evoke Bungie's original from 2001 as well. That said, the gameplay is much simpler: you're dual-wielding whatever weapon you pick up, and clear room after room full of bad guys with auto-aim. To prolong combat, the developers like to spawn enemies in front, behind, and sometimes even on top of Gideon, without any animation or anything—they simply appear out of thin air. The mindless shooting is only interrupted by frequent cutscenes, which do a half-decent job at moving things forward, though by the end, the plot dries up completely, as though the developers ran out of time. Roughly a third into the game, Gideon is given what amounts to force powers, allowing him to shoot energy pulses or lift enemies, and from that point on, AR plays more like The Force Unleashed. In addition, one gets to pilot vehicles, whose controls and physics are abysmal. The way buggies bump around is almost comical, especially compared to Halo's Warthog, and the goofiness extends to Gideon's on-foot movement as well. All animations are way too fast, and even though Gideon eventually becomes a god, ground elevations are insurmountable for him, and require special attention by the player. The controls are a mess in general—for instance, when you lock onto an elevated enemy, the camera is centered in such a way that you can't actually see much of the target. Aside from being repetitive beyond belief, the main issue with AR is how buggy everything is. Crashes are frequent, though the game typically at least has the courtesy to save right before them, but this doesn't apply when you get stuck in a wall. When driving vehicles, the sound breaks, and shadows are simply not displayed. This game just screams amateur hour, and clearly is unfinished.
