Two seconds later, the human race is reduced to a handful of brave survivors, and they have to find a way to get revenge while trying to maintain the human line. Talk about waking up to a bad day, huh?

We at IGN have saved the galaxy before in games like KOTOR and Halo, so we answered the call one more time to kick some alien tail. This guide is your one-stop information source on the weapons and powers of the game, as well as a full walkthrough including boss strategies. It's complete, although we're anxious to be able to pen the next two parts of the trilogy too.

Still, you'll have a fantastic time as you experience a great cinematic game with non-stop action. And as always, whenever you need one more helping hand (considering your already-thin number of allies), you can always turn to us here.

In this Advent Rising strategy guide, you'll find:

• Weapons and powers info, including details on powered-up weapons and skills.
• Advent Rising walkthrough, complete with story details and strategies for beating every level and every boss in the game.
