This is a deathless, single-segment, easy mode, warps run of Advent Rising for the Xbox. The run abuses bugs and oversights to improve the time, and uses the two sets of Mario-style warp pipes to skip four chapters of the game's eight. The time is calculated from the first moment I gain player control to the moment I lose it, totalling twenty-two minutes and sixteen seconds.
This run was played on the Xbox version because the second set of Mario-styled warp pipes in 4-B are inaccessible in the PC edition. Unfortunately, the Xbox version includes the awful load times and more bugs. I estimate that about 10m40s are spent on mandatory segments, and 2m37s spent on loading times.
Also, the game difficulty was set to Easy because higher difficulties only decrease the damage the player does to enemies and increase the damage the enemies do to the player, slowing down forced enemy encounters.
The individual tricks I use during this (and many others) are all detailed in my other Advent Rising videos, viewable here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL008BAA7D44F6D377&feature=plcp
The run was recorded with a Hauppauge HD PVR on 8-18-11.
