General Information about Advent Rising |
[ Hide ] |
|
 | Advent Rising is a third-person, science fiction action-adventure video game, akin to a fast-paced action movie. It was developed by GlyphX Games and published by Majesco. The game was released on May 31, 2005 for Xbox and on August 9, 2005 for Microsoft Windows. The story of this game was created by Donald Mustard, and featured a script written by famed sci-fi writer Orson Scott Card and Cameron Dayton. The full orchestral soundtrack was done by Tommy Tallarico. As of September 14, 2006, Steam began offering Advent Rising for download as well as other games by Majesco. (Advent Rising on Steam) At release on Steam, it cost $14.95 USD. A five-issue spin-off comic book series was produced and ran from October 2005 to November 2006 (see Comics section below). Plans for novel tie-ins by Orson Scott Card never came to fruition. In 2008, Novint is adding Novint Falcon support to this game, and will sell it as Ascension Reborn for the Novint Falcon only. The game begins with Gideon Wyeth, the protagonist, escorting a group of human ambassadors to a meeting with an alien race called the Aurelians. At the meeting, the Aurelians warn the humans of a race of aliens called the Seekers, who seek to destroy all humanity. Shortly thereafter, the space station that they are on is attacked by the Seekers. Gideon manages to board an escape pod and lands on the planet Edumea below. On the planet, Gideon aids the Marines in their battle against the Seekers, but soon learns that the planet will shortly be destroyed by a meteor shower. The planet is evacuated, and Gideon accepts an invitation from the Aurelians to board their ship. There, he learns that, as a human, he has mystical powers. He begins training to master these powers while on the Aurelian ship. When the Council calls the Seekers to explain themselves, a being teleports into the Council chambers claiming to be a “true” human. The being, a Koroem, claims that he ordered the Seekers to exterminate humanity because they were human “imposters”; he takes full responsibility for the human genocide. Following its Xbox release, Advent Rising received mixed reviews from critics whose scores ranged from a high of 4.5 out of 5 (Gamepro) to a low of 5 out of 10 (EGM). Reviewer scores averaged at a 68 on Game Rankings and a 67 on Metacritic, while user scores averaged at 7.5. The most common complaints were the large number of bugs which caused a range of problems including freezing. Another common complaint regarded the difficulty in using the flick targeting system. Upon the release of the PC version of the game a month after the Xbox counterpart, Advent Rising was slightly better received, earning a 72 on Game Rankings, a 70 on Metacritic, and a 81 on Venting Gamer with user scores averaging at 82. Many reviewers felt that the month long delay had been put to good use as many of the glitches in the Xbox version had been fixed. Framerate was also improved, with slowdowns becoming rarer. |
