Made possible through Xbox Live, the contest offers eligible consumers who find hidden ?A? icons within the game, the ability to win hundreds of weekly prizes and one grand prize of $1,000,000. The contest applies to the first 500,000 Xbox copies of Advent Rising and consumers shouldn?t wait as many retail outlets are sold out of the game.
Leading video game consumer magazine, GamePro, gave Advent Rising a 4.5 out of 5, earning the magazine?s coveted ?Editor?s Choice? award. GamePro said, ?This game makes you believe all the lip-service rhetoric about video games maturing into a genuine art form, because it puts its effort where its mouth is.?
?Initial consumer response and buzz surrounding Advent Rising has been impressive and we expect it to continue as we roll out our extensive marketing and promotional campaigns,? said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing for Majesco. ?We are excited to team with Microsoft on such an innovative promotion in which we watch gamers compete to become a millionaire and win tons of other great prizes via Xbox Live.?
