Okay , just 10 minutes in the game . The music is soooooooooooo great that am amazed . I´m just talking about the music on the menu screen a theme with vocals of 5 minutes or so . The art reminds me to flashback or another world and the game just seem to have a so great setting that I find very hard not to fell for it .

It have just the kind of magic that games like MGS or Shenmue have that there are so intriging that doesn´t matter that the gameplay stinks (in fact nor MGS neither Shenmue had a gameplay that suck , well MGS3 a bit ) .

Okay I read here all the complains about the game mainly about framerate but I´d like to know how the game is selling . I think that Majesco was aiming really high with that contest for the first 500.000 buyers ... Is the game sellling well enough so we´ll have the trilogy?

i really wanted to like it. granted i've only played it for like 40-60 mins before i decided i didnt want to play anymore, but the gameplay was just so bleh. pull both triggers, reload, repeat. music is awesome though, but that's the only thing good about it

 

[Jan]

I heard it was only the two first levels that really suck . Am prepared for the worst so I think I can get to the good part of the game

Judging by EBGames, Amazon, & the Rentrack rental charts, it's bombed. Hard.

That's how they get ya dragged in, you figure I played this much, might as well keep playing

 

[PhatSaqs]

In an interview with GI, Majescos CEO was asked if they'd continue the trilogy if the first didnt sell well and he answered yes.

I'm looking forward to it myself. I just hope they get some more experienced developers in at Glyphx

 

[Redbeard]

Once you get some powers and bullet-time dodge the game gets quite a bit more fun.

 

[Jan]

I hope they keep their word since I´m quite fuck up about the games that promise a trilogy or so ...Where is my Shenmue 3 and where is my Beyond good and evil 2...?

Anyway , the game isn´t THAT bad . Is just quite simple in its gameplay with a choppy framerate .

The art desing and the music keep me playing , but I played thing this gen really worst that this game just cause they come from a wellknonw developer .

I´m just repelling the invasion of the weird and tall aliens -

There´s a way to put subtitles? English + weird voices are not my fauvorite mix

The game is great, damn the haters.

Good and easy scifi story and nice but a little frustrating action sequences. Whats sets the game apart is the overall mood though, hadn't felt this drawn into a game since Halo and I really wanted to stop the Seekers.

AND It gets wayyy better after the 5-6 mission, about and hour into the game when the humans secret powers are revealed, best PSI Lift since Psi-ops.

Lets hope for a proper sequel(i.e not Advent Shadow on PSP).

Good thing majesco made all that money off the GBA video technology, I'd hate to see them go bust right after they stopped being an industry joke.

 

[Jan]

Yep , we all are in debt with them cause they pick up and published Psyconauts .

They are still doing some bugdet games like Raze´s Hell or 99 Drakes , but now they are aiming for higher mark with superproductions like this game .

Stay after the credits.

How much of the dubious plot did Orson Scott Card pen, and are there any even vaguely Mormon parables in it? I mean, do I get to dogfight with starbabies or anything in it?

On a scale of Ender's Shadow to Alvin the Maker, what's the dosage level of crackpot Mormon dogma? I need to know if I should get Hito this as a Christmas present or not.

Advent 9/11

 

[XboxGamers]

well I'm glad you like it but just seeing the tv ad, I'm not getting it.

He didn't pen any of the plot. Just 1/4 of the script or so.

OH FUCK YOU'RE BACK. :O

 

[typhonsentra]

He was involved in writing dialogue for this game? Please tell me that 1/4 doesn't cover the prologue.

 

[ToyMachine228]

I was thinking about picking it up used, or after a future price drop...Depends.

 

[Truelize]

I picked it up last week and played through about 20 minutes of it or so just to check it out. Looks kidna cool. I agree that the music really sets a tone. Great score so far. I thought the game into was pretty cool, sure it was only something as simple as landing your ship but it was kinda cool.

 

[sangreal]

I think its sales are as slow as its framerate

bada ching!
