In Advent Rising, you play as Gideon Wyeth, a rookie space pilot. Gideon has a loving fiancée and life smiles at him. That is, until mysterious aliens appear. Gideon and his brother, a hero space pilot, are invited to the historical greeting party. Though the aliens are friendly, they come with a warning about another, vicious race, known as "the Seekers", who have decided to exterminate humans. Soon after, the Seekers invasion begins, and so does the actual game.

The game itself is a third person shooter and you control Gideon. Generally you just go around shooting things - with a new kind of targeting system. On Xbox you'll select targets by tapping thumbsticks towards the foe you want to shoot, on PC this happens by scrolling the mouse wheel (although you can use the mouse for manual aiming and thus avoid scrolling through long list of enemies). You can also gain psychic powers to aid your combat. These powers work like character upgrades, and even though the existence of these powers hasn't been explained much, they make virtual life a lot easier.
