THEY THROW ROCKS !!! THEY THROW ROCKS !!! THEY THROW ROCKS !!! Only a few games from the xbox classic era that was trying to be a halo kotor hybrid this predate mass effect i seen some people compare it to mass effect but that not fare and... yes the game is dated but back in the 2000's we loved it games like this. If you grew up on the classic xbox you had this game i got the classic and this copy sitting on my tv stand and i love it. yes windows 11 makes it crash a few times but when you hear that music and you feel so powerful slinging space powers around its worth it..... if i won a jackpot id remake and carry on this saga.

I bought this game thinking it would be a nice nostalgia trip from my child hood but that quickly wore off a couple hours in, when this game first came out it was touted as a "Halo killer" that couldn't be the farthest thing from the truth. The graphics are subpar even for 2005, the story is lack luster and not all there with huge inconsistencies and plot holes, the pc port controls are absolutely atrocious, the sounds design while good can be easily broken, and the list goes on. It really begins to show its age and lack of polish and concise direction from the developers the more you play, being soft locked out of certain points in a mission that are required to progress the game becomes a consistent problem and very game breaking. The studio that developed this game is no longer in business with very good reason, at launch there was a million dollar prize competition if you complete the game first, they failed to follow through on that, which may have lead to their demise as a studio to begin with aside from the atrocity that is Advent Rising. In my honest opinion its a hard pass even for a nostalgia fueled fever dream, not worth the space on your dive and definitely not wo…1 found this helpful
Uff, lo jugué en 2026 y más allá de las gráficas que se notan ya muy viejas (que sí lo son), el juego no ofrece mucho ni en mecánica, jugabilidad ni narrativa. Se nota que está totalmente inspirado en HALO pero falla terriblemente. La historia no tiene lógica, y conforme más avanza, más ridículo se tornan las acciones de los personajes. Más allá de eso, simplemente no lo recomiendo nadota.1 found this helpful
For a game made about 10 years ago, its really good if you like story and sci-fi.
