So glad I did not buy this game. A friend bought it played it for a couple of hours and hated it, let me borrow it before he takes it back and I have played it for an hour or so and it sucks. Choppy ass frame rate, control sucks, bories you with lots of long cut scenes that you can skip but a whole lot of shorter ones that you can't skip, decent music. With all the hype this game was getting I expected a lot more.

If I win it in the Xbox Retail giveaway, I shall be happy. Otherwise, I could really care less about the game. Looks to be too derivative of Halo and The Matrix, somehow.

I was really looking forward to this when I heard that Orson Scott Card had a hand in the development, but after watching the trailers, the game looks painfully bad. I won't be getting this unless the reviews are stellar.

I'm starved for a flat out action game on the ecksbox and was hoping that Advent Rising was gonna be a decent game. Guess I'll continue to starve.

The game is pretty lousy. You would think with that minimalist graphic style the game would run nice and fluid. But it runs like ass. The story so far is pretty meh. And the actual gameplay is really repetitive. And on top of all that I have come across some major bugs. Like the kind of bugs that make you wonder if the devs ever even bothered to play the game. So its not even finished.
Its basically a poor mans halo.
I hope the guys at EB will let me exchange it for somthing else :crying:

Scott Orson Card was the main reason I was looking forward to it, but I doubt I'll get it now. Not at it's price. I'll have to wait for the budget thing, on this one. I still want to play it, simply for the story since I'm not really starved for good action games, on the Xbox. Tecmo, The Collective, Silicon Knights, and Lucasarts, more or less, has that covered. I'm curious about Lego Star Wars since people seem to really like that one.

More crap for the XBOX.

Too bad, especially after all those adverts before Star Wars Episode 3.

Lego Star Wars is 100 times better than Advent Rising.

Ran across a couple of glitches while playing myself, it seems as if more and more releases are being put out without taking time to ensure that they actually work correctly. Whatever happened to releasing something when its really done, not when your schedule/ finance officer etc. says to. It also seems that its the games that have been given the most hype are starting to be the worst culprits.

That's really too bad. There was an article in one of the last few issues of XBN where they made this game seem like it'd be bigger than Jesus, The Beatles, AND OASIS.
Oh well, one more overhyped turkey.

No, no, no, not OASIS!!

That's where I would have started to doubt things.

Really is disappointing, though. As slow as releases have gotten lately, I was tempted to buy AR. Then I read all the horrible feedback on it and thought better of that.

Yeah, the game is pretty repetitive, and kinda boring. The whole 'humanity destroyed by aliens for some unknown reason' thing was done with Titan AE, and it was better than AR. And the movie stunk.
