Advent Rising - - check it!

Badge

alright, so this beast is about to drop on shelves ( at least in the US). i scoped the trailers that bombarder my gaming website of choice and im freakin psyched.

its pretty much a single player only experience, but i think its time we let our XBL people sit a few rounds out. its got d/l opps and the story is supposedly outstanding.

uhm, check it out. ill be snagging this as soon as i get back so ill drop a micro-review after i do.

It was made like right across the street from where I work. Glypx is a cool studio.

seantree

why are people freaking out about this game??? I have no idea what makes it so appealing, from my personal knowledge and having the experience of working on a game that was published by the same company as this one I'm inclined to say that this game is most likely going to suck balls. but thats just me, and I could be wrong... and maybe its a terrible tragedy.

:Mr.Rockstar: Why do you like applejacks so much? They dont even have apples??!!
:Kid1: I dont know, we just do.
:Kid2: Yeah, we just do (laughs)

Its gotten bad reviews so far(considering how much it was hyped)
7.8/10 from ign
2.5/5 from gamepsy
5.7/10 from gamespot

good thing I wasnt psyched for this game...

I played it today at work. I pretty much agree with the Ign rating. It has a few technical issues and some questionable art direction, and a control scheme you have to get used to, but it has a great story and emotional pull. I only played the first part up untill you meet the fishy people and I was very interested in the plot, and by that time I was getting comfortable witht the whole "Flick" control scheme.

well i just got an email telling me my order apparently is going to be help due to supply issues. i may just cancel it and just got snag it from blockbuster instead.

i can understand the bad ratings, but i still want to play the game and see what its all about.
