If gamers are willing to adjust to the flick targeting system and forgive the poor framerate, it has a lot to offer in terms of gameplay, story, and sound. I was able to ignore these technical shortcomings in most areas and enjoy the excellent cut-scenes and character development.

Very good game with great story. If it wasn't for bugs, could have spawned a blockbuster franchise. Powers were fun to use

From the moment of starting the game I was already met with some annoyances:

Is it even worth continuing with this? It would be better to play on my TV because the graphics are actually pretty nice for the era. I was very impressed with the opening scene with the aliens. They reminded me of cenobites from Hellraiser.

Buggy mess with tons of great ideas. So sad any follow-up got canned.

The entirety of the cast of this game is unbearable. I can only hope that they go through some kind of collective arc where they stop being incorrigible frat-boy douches and become interesting in any capacity.

Advent Rising is a boring and dated TPS that takes a cue from Daiktana by refusing to let you play the damn game.

Even when i skipped most cinematics it took over half an hour to get to play the bloody game. Before that time there are constant awful cinematics, a boring pointless tutorial and several parts where you aren't free to walk normally (locked doors/carrying someone).
Combat itself is dreadful. You aim your two fully automatic weapons in the general direction of the enemy and click fire. Yes, this game manages to make dual-wielding rocket-launchers boring. Apparently you get magic powers later on, but who cares if the core gameplay sucks?

Found a sealed copy for $10 so it picked it up. One of the original Xbox games that I always wanted to play. I find big flops interesting. Also like the history behind the $1,000,000 contest that never was.
