''Advent Rising'' is a third-person action-adventure game for Xbox that was released in May of 2005 (with a PC version being released a few months later). You play as Gideon Wyeth, seeking to defend humanity from an alien race known as 'The Seekers'. To help you in this quest are the friendly Aurelians, and the fact that humans are apparently demigods with a vast number of powers.
The Xbox game was not entirely well received, due in part to the number of bugs and difficulty of controls, but the PC version fared better.
Line 14:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Several of the levels seem to be homages to ''[[Halo]]''. Or maybe just ripoffs. It's hard to tell.
* [[Gainax Ending]]: Seeing as this was meant to be the first part of a trilogy, this trope was practically inevitable.
* [[Game Mod]]: [http://www.miketyndall.com/setz/Advent%20Revising/ Advent Revising], a fan-patch that, while not fixing any possible problems the PC version has when it comes to gameplay, fixes a buttload of problems it had with cutscenes & cinematics [including adding in cutscenes that were cut from the PC version, along with (arguably) better subtitles, less cutscene stuttering, and lowered music delay]. Essentially, this makes the PC version [https://web.archive.org/web/20121025122253/http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/advent_rising (available on GOG for about $6,] [http://store.steampowered.com/app/3800/ or Steam for $10)] basically the best version.
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: The bounty hunter boss. Jumps at you in the middle of a conversation with the Seeker ambassador, shouts something about a huge bounty placed on you by some never-explained "worried" people, is then killed and never mentioned again.
** Also a [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] moment - if you turn on the subtitles, you see his name is Baraka Bahma. [[Barack Obama|Say that quickly...]]
