    To be honest, the game doesn't deserve an ultra-high or ultra-low score. It is a decent looking game (on PC anyway), with a decent soundtrack and okay action sequences. The game tries hard, but just doesn't quite have the perfection of AVP2. The action sounds are nice, but the voice acting is terrible (and annoying - 'Tequila' is yet another stereotype).

Also, The constant noise of the scanner which picks up noises is irritating. In saying that though, the Aliens and Predators sound effects are brutal and sound spot on. I think the introduction of the predator Campaign was not well-thought out. *SPOILER* They'd hardly put a 'Young blood' in some ancient pit with hordes of Aliens coming at it. They should have started with trap making and scouting first. That's not a big issue though. It's hard to 'score' games, because a score doesn't directly show how good of a game is. 90% is considered good, but it really should be considered a masterpiece given that score. Overall the graphics are nice, sound is good in some areas, and it plays fairly well (excluding the fact that the Marine can't jump over a small railing). I think 6 is a decent score.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If this game would have stayed as good as it was during the marine mission I would have rated it higher. However, during the alien section I had to stop playing multiple times due to almost wanting to throw up. Transitioning on walls was not a smooth process. Many times even when it told me I could it didn't work out that well. Then end boss battle was a little weak as well. Just run away shoot, run away, shoot. Repeat ten times, and you beat it.

The failure of the limited FOV is in its inability to provide the dramatic effect to the player - so many times i heard a moan and scream and could not figure out where it came from; only on second passing, from a previously saved checkpoint, would i find out that the screaming came from a very well animated marine, whose rib-cage was ripped apart by a newborn alien! Well, such an effect is pretty hard to spot, when your Field of View is about 60 degrees - like walking and looking through a box. For the most part, the quality of sound in this game is very high - however, the quality of performance of the dialogues and the actual effects are not that good at all. Voice acting is not top notch, the radar clicking got on my nerves after the first two minutes of the game (not the beeping of the approaching alien, mind you - but the obnoxious clicking sound of the radar, which cannot be muted), and the in-game remarks of the marines are pretty much limited to two sentences. I must say however, that the atmosphere is pretty well depicted, and for the most part i enjoyed going through the game. Although so much could have been done better, so much....… Expand

    The xenomorph side was less enjoyable for me. Probably more for play-style than for any other reason, but part of receiving directives like that from the queen didn't work for me. I wouldn't have any idea how to represent such a communication but what I got didn't feel right to me.

    The predator campaign was probably my least favorite. At no point did I really feel like the stealthy huntsman I wanted to be, but rather just a deviation toward sneaking from the standard first person gameplay. Well... No, that's not true... There's some stealthy fun to be had and you can hide from the human foes easily enough. I guess what really rubbed me wrong in this one was the advent of the super-alien at the end. I know there's precedent for it in the setting, but I put on my grumpy old man pants and sigh when they insist on throwing something like that at me. Particularly with the glaring gestation time inconsistencies.

    Oh well, game was average. Worth it if you're paying five smackeroos.    … Expand

After the disappointing AvP films and having never tried one of the games I decided to let my prejudices down and give the latest iteration a go. First thing's first, this game is not worth anything more than £5. The reason as to why I think this is that there are three campaigns on offer: Marine, Alien and Predator. Whilst all 3 are fun (im using that word loosely) only one of them campaigns was worth my time in terms of challenge and length. That particular one is the Marine campaign, a good solid FPS from start to finish with a 2-3 hour length. The the Alien one is more of a stealth kind of approach, however the alien itself is too fast and light to control making precise actions difficult and is only an hour long. The Predator is stealthy again but gives you the choice to take stealth or action in the form of melee combat, however this character has too much going on such as all the various commands for weapons, actions and movement making it easy to just get in over your head and only boasting an hour long campaign again.
    Had the Marine one been longer by another 2 or 3 hours or had the other 2 campaigns been substantial enough it would have scored higher but only for the reason that the Marine campaign was half decent you may as well give this game a go.    … Expand

    First off, the single player is pretty mediocre and felt rushed to me. They feel more like elongated tutorials set up to make you feel comfortable with each race.

    More arcade than gritty hardship, with mildly enjoyable gameplay that sadly doesn't bring anything new to the table. The singleplayer is worth a playthrough, the online experience is too average, if not below average, to draw me in and keep me playing. I'd rather play AVP Gold, or AVP2.

    I'm not really a big fan of First Person Perspective games. I do think that Aliens vs Predator would have been better as an over-the-shoulder third-person actioner, even the 1994 side-scrolling beat-em-up version was better than this. But for what it is, it's still a worthwhile game.

    I wasn't immediately hooked, to be honest. I found the combat system to be clunky and difficult, though once the first level was cleared things got better (this applies to all three campaigns). Some of the gameplay and tense moments actually reminded me a lot of Condemned 2: Bloodshot. You play as either the Predator, Colonial Marines, or an Alien in three individual stories that all tie together, each with their own set of pros and cons.

    The story follows on from those utterly awful AvP movies, but connects it with the Alien and Predator franchise in a more cohesive way than those cinematic travesties managed. But the video game franchise of this particular crossover has been stuck as a First Person actioner since 1999 and with this next-gen incarnation I think that Sega and Rebellion should have tried a new approach.

    Despite the flaws, it's an enjoyable game that's very easy to play, if not finish, with plenty of trophies available.    … Expand

I basically was waiting for this and excited for this because I played AVP2 regularly and I loved the whole franchise, first of all I want to say that if you're coming from AVP2 you will most certainly not encounter a similar type of game. The strong points of this game are basically solid graphics, decent AI, and the 3 races. There really isn't a whole lot to praise with this game in terms of gameplay, but I will say that this game was reliable, I pre-ordered for PC and got the game a few days after release (backed up shipment or something stupid), and immediately there we no problems with the game, I never experienced any crashing, glitching, sound distortion or cutting out, nothing like that. Rebellion was smart enough to patch in a dedicated servers feature as well fairly soon after release. But that's about where the good points end. The singleplayer, it's a decent experience to be honest, but the story is easily forgettable, plus the addition of the collectible objects which really add nothing to the game beyond steam achievements, or a little bit of storyline from the marine recordings(which are annoying to try and listen to because they don't autoplay), are basically there to waste time. Too be honest, the greatest single player feature in the game is the survival game, where you are a marine fighting waves of aliens that get tougher the more you kill, at least that is the best feature in my eyes, I've spent more time in that than I do in multiplayer pvp matches. But even still, it is hindered by the lack of survival maps (only 2 without DLC) and like I said, there's only a survivor mode for marines, there's no other added single player feature to play aliens or predators. The multiplayer, basically what I was waiting for, turned out to be pretty disappointing, marines are honestly the most fun to play, for the simple reason that you can't run around executing people, predators and aliens can simply run around pressing E to execute people, sure you can play without doing that, but it's basically crippling yourself if you refuse to execute people because it's just a one button press. The upside? Executing people is satisfying to watch, the gore is so ruthlessly violent that it's almost hilarious to disembowel a marine. But it's lack of variety and intrigue in gameplay can be ENTIRELY contributed to the root problem of the whole game, and that root problem is console porting. This game is so clearly made for consoles when you play it, yes it works fine for PC and has no problems, but the gameplay feels so limited, and it just FEELS like a console game, it feels like it is being restricted by a controller when you play the PC version. The lack of weapon variety, the lack of universal crouching and jumping, it's all a product of a game that was designed for consoles. This game is certainly not AVP2, but I will make a comparison, in AVP2 the predators and marines had so many weapons that it would be impossible to play on a console because you often need to switch between weapons instantly, and having to cycle through them using a controller would just be frustrating, never mind the ammo types and alternate firing methods. This is a game clearly influenced by the desire to have it available for console systems, and as such is a pretty mediocre PC game, albeit with dedicated servers, which is becoming rare these days. I'm giving this game a 5 because of its console value, it really is an alright console game in my opinion, but it's a very obvious one, I would certainly advise anyone not to pick this up for the PC especially if you're a PC gamer. Summary: The lack of weapon variety, boring multiplayer meta game, and generally bland gameplay lead this to be an alright console game and not much more, the graphics are quite pleasing and the dedicated servers are nice, but it doesn't matter when the gameplay just doesn't hold your attention. I played multiplayer for literally 1 maybe 2 days before I got bored of it basically entirely, there must be a serious lack of players in the game by now, if you're an AVP fan you'll probably marginally enjoy it like I did, but if you're a dedicated PC gamer, you'd be better off going for a different game, or better yet, just getting AVP2, even the single player is worth it in that game. At any rate, I regret paying full price for this, it's essentially just eye candy.… Expand

The multilayer is laggy and at times its impossible to find a server. The ups side all though few is trophy kills or being trophy killed, the feeling that any minute something is going to come up behind you and stab you in the back is a great feeling reminds me of the movies. Holding out with your friends against waves of aliens is a fun mode. There was so much more that could have been added but it feels it was just put together to quickly.

I'd rather listen to the Back To The Future song that repeats all the time on the first level, thats more enjoyable than that beep. The AI sucks, as a predator, the marines just run back and shoot you with an unrealistic SMG gun sound. The aliens on the other hand are much more intellegent and know how to kill.

    Multiplayer is 100% dead. There are no servers at all. So I feel like I should give this game a 6 for its graphics and different gameplay style but 5 because of the annoying blip noise on the Marine campaign.

    Having played the previous AvP's I was inclined to play this one. Its a fun action game allowing you to play as either Marines, Predator or Alien. While entertaining there are some small gripes like having to hold down the mouse button as Alien to traverse walls (lazy coding). Other than that it is a great game to play if a little confussling with missions split across the 3 playable races.

    Some of the reviews on AvP are a little unfair, but they do have some valid points. Graphics are fairly good, but the campaigns are pretty short and they do replay large sections of the maps.

Normally I'm against the latter, but each species' different abilities allow for varying tactics, and makes each playthough fairly unique. What really stands out is the atmosphere and the audio cues, particularly the Club Eden segment for the marine. I'm a little surprised by the rock-paper-scissors approach to melee combat, it's awkward at first and the idea of a human 'beating' a predator or alien in melee is kind of weird, but after a while you get used to it. Multiplayer is pretty fun, it's a little easier to find a match now with dedicated servers, but there is a steep learning curve, so don't expect to just jump in as an alien and tear people to shreds. It would have been great if this AvP's multiplayer had been set up similar to AvP2's, with different classes and expanded weaponry. I think it's still a decent enough game if you're a fan of the series, but please for the love of god Rebellion, don't hire Michelle "Tequila" Rodriguez to do anymore voiceover work.… Expand

    Overall a decent game. Parts of it scream "port", such as the tacked-on multiplayer interface (dedicated servers came after release, and the menu to get to them is unintuitive). The game would have been much better with just a couple more patches.

En 2010 sacaron una nueva entrega de AVP en comics, la película Predators y este juego. Para empezar lo bueno: el juego tiene 3 campañas, una con cada especie, hay muchos cambios entre cada campaña así que nunca pensaras que estas usando al mismo personaje. El juego tiene una duración de entre 2-5 horas por campaña, dependiendo si quieres ir explorando y recogiendo coleccionables para que tu experiencia sea mas larga. Pero también tienen algo malo, los jefes del juego. Al principio parecen épicos como luchar contra la reina Alien, lamentablemente, lo que tienes que hacer es apretar un botón, disparar 2 granadas, esperar un minuto matando unos 10 Aliens, apretar otro botón y listo. Esto pasa en las 3 campañas, la primera ves los jefes son algo difíciles pero por la segunda o tercera ves que luchas con ellos ya sabes que hacer. Es lamentable por que ningún jefe se salva que después de vencerlo 1 o 2 veces ya sabes como matarlo fácilmente, eso te hará querer aumentar la dificultad pero, aun en la dificultad mas grande "Infernal" puedes ganarles fácilmente. Una cosa buena es que esta doblado al español, es un juego mejor solo por ese detalle. Aunque las voces se les entiende todo, rara vez parecen tener emociones fuerte. Los únicos que me hicieron sentir que estaban bien traducidos fueron unos cuantos marines y Bishop. Aunque este juego tiene Multi-Player. El MP es divertido, pero tienes que aprender a jugar bien. Si usas un predator o alien tienes que saber luchar con ellos y moverte con ellos. El marine es el mas débil por lo que morirás muchas veces con el. Aun así todo esta decentemente equilibrado, y si sabes bloquear, golpear y disparar en los momentos precisos, aparte de tener todas las armas de la campaña como la smartgun/arma inteligente, puedes llegar a ser el mejor jugador de la partida como marine. No hay muchas armas en el juego pero aun así hay suficientes así que no es un problema. El mayor defecto del MP es el alien, es demasiado poderoso. Es fácil de matar con el marine, pero el puede usar un ataque con su cola que es un ataque super rápido y te quita la mitad de la vida. Aparte de que si te atrapa te matara en unos 2-3 segundos mientras que el predator tarda 5-7 segundos en salir de sus animaciones. Hablando de las animaciones: si estas como predator o alien detrás de un enemigo, puedes hacer un Fatality que lo matara automaticamente, lo malo es que aunque la animación ni haya empezado y matan al predator que te ataco, no importara ya que si te cogen es una muerte instantanéa sin opción de sobrevivir. He oído que AVP2000 es el mejor de todos los juegos de AVP, intente entrar pero sus gráficos no han envejecido nada bien. Es como jugar un juego con texturas de cartón con todo respeto a los que aman ese juego, es que no soporto ver a un predator mas delgado que un humano. Le doy un 07/10, puede que si hubiera jugado el anterior le haya bajado el puntaje pero al final este resulto ser un buen juego. Si lo compras no te pierdas el MP, hay muchos servidores dedicados y aun se conecta gente.… Expand

    The game's not bad. Three great campaigns tell one, interesting story. Predator is the easiest, and the marine is the hardest one. Xenomorph's story is the most interesting one, you follow him ever since its "birth" to becoming one of the most powerful Aliens. The game's linear, but many FPS video games are so, and it's a fine piece of game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это одна из лучших игр во вселенной Чужих, боже, я просто тащусь от всего что с ними связанно и эта игра как для меня получилась просто шедевральной,хотя у нее есть пару минусов, но тогда это уже не делает ее шедевральной, но все же :DD
    Если не брать в расчет сложность последнюю, особенно за десантника, то проходить на макс сложности игру одно удовольствие. Я бы отнес это к первому минусу игры.
    Второй минус игры, это наверное ачивки, я бы бы очень хотел получить их все, но так как сингл ачивок 40, а мультиплеерных 10, то становится грустно, так как я не то что бы не хочу искать людей для помощи, просто это реально трудно, особенно с тем что игра вышла в 2010! 10! Лет, но она все еще кажется потрясающей, графика не сильно плохая, особенно с нынешней модой, делать графику более мультяшной.
    Третий минус, скорее есть в сюжете, так как в компании за Хищника и Десантника уничтожается пирамида. Играя за хищника, вы сами ее уничтожаете оружием хищников, то есть их термоядерным оружием на руке в виде компьютера, а когда играете за Десантника, она начинает уничтожатся сама, то есть не взрывом Хищника, вообщем непонятнка какая то.
    Все остальное что есть в игре это сплошные плюсы, от крови, месива с ксеноморфами и тактической охотой или тем же месивом за хищника.

Multiplayer detected around 15 people playing, so yeh.. I tried one game, got a ping of 133 and well, quit.. Bring back dedicated servers please. I was pissed off quite a bit that there was no coop. I hate the way the industry defines "coop" these days. Coop traditionally means playing through a CAMPAIGN with a mate. NOT a multiplayer mode, where you're just playing against bots. Which is what survival mode is in this. There's no campaign based around it, it's just a multiplayer mode. L4D is coop because there's 4 CAMPAIGNS based around it. So when Steam sticks up coop on the store page, it's a bit fucking rich. Quake 3 had team deathmatch with bots, that doesn't make it coop. UT2004 had that survival mode too, IT DOESNT MAKE IT COOP. This is more to do with Steam's store page selling a game incorrectly though. So bleh.. So ofcourse my friend and I were annoyed at that, considering coop was what made the original AVP series so much fun. Playing through the first couple of levels as the Marine was very fun. We both agreed it scared the shit out of us not having the quicksave. It's easily the best campaign and the most fun you'll have with this game. My friend stopped playing after that. I then finished the game in one go. The Alien campaign is.. fun, but it doesn't take you through the birth cycle like the old AvP did. So the whole campaign, although great fun, gets repetitive VERY quickly. And thus by the end, you're wanting it to end, so you can just move onto the Predator. The Predator campaign annoyed me. He's nowhere near as fun to play now. So much of his toys and kit are missing it's ridiculous. The overshoulder laser cannon sounds awful, and is fairly useless at killing anything. The spear is great, but why doesn't it stick in the model, you throw it at them and it just disappears.. kind've lame from a game boasting DX11 tech. Finally, the bosses are just awful. Playing on normal, some were too easy, and then out of nowhere they became incredibly difficult. The final boss on the Predator campaign was just too easy. And felt very anti-climactic really. The Praetorian was just too hard, but I eventually did it somehow. The two Predators and the Elite Predator were far too easy for a normal mode setting. Also despite dxdiag thinking I have DX11, apparently AvP doesn't, bit lame but the game looks amazing anyway. It's a shame Rebellion made the stupid decision of not putting in dedicated servers from the get-go. Because the demo was a lot of fun on the PC, and the different modes look great. Some press have given this game 5/10 or 50% scores. Thats just harsh.. the game is very well made and you're not going to see a better looking AvP game for a while. Aside from that, it offers the same package as any Halo game, and is just as good. All it's missing is the stupid orchestral music and slightly better voice acting. So in summary, not great. But worth a look if you can get it at bargain bin price, or a rental.… Expand

    Predator class is limited and is taken every time I have wanted to try it. Marine weapons are underpowered for such a close quarter game which means instant death and predators are a trick to get down and doing an instant kill attack leaves you vulnerable to be killed at the leisure of any other player around.

The early levels were unique and well designed after that, they get boring. In the marine missions, when the flamethrower was used on the aliens, it was frustrating because you can't get away once they are on fire because they grab you and explode, also there was no crouch or take cover when fighting andriods (why not? the andriods did). It would have been great if they would of increased the weapon inventory and ammo capacity and not have made the pistol with infinit ammo. It made me lose some suspense with that. In the alien missions I felt I was just going thru the motions since there too many buttons to press to even navigate efficiently. The use of the heavy attack was way too slow, and what was the point of sprint button if I was going to sprint anways, to me it seemed pointless, the transition mode button was pointless as well, when I could jump on the wall. Nevertheless I felt frustrated with the navigation alien overall. Another issue why the alien could not spit acid? during the game the alien AI was able to. And what was the point of being able to bite the victims head after the human was dead? The predator mission to me were the most disappointing, cloak did not work against aliens and some the in game mini scripts I could not even see because I was overwhelmed by aliens. The cannon having to be recharged was stupid, so I did not even used it. The spear did not come back to the predator it just refreshed the crosshairs, which lost it's "movie" likeness appeal to me.I did not even used the mine since there was no situation that actually call for it, so it seemed useless to me. The later levels of the predator missions, I could not reach some of the collectables just because the level was not designed to reach them (pointless). The storyline was great, the voice acting was awesome, the sound effects and features were outstanding. The game mechanics were ok, with the exception of the issues I mentioned earlier. The graphics were ok, I hoped for a WOW factor while playing the DX 11 version of the game, they could of done less lighting overall in the game to add more suspense. To me the multiplayer part it of this game is needs alot of improvements, such as a lagmetter and being able to connect and disconnect faster (instead of stages). And the ranking system seems to add no benifit. This could of been a block buster game but it's not. The game took approx 11 hours to finish and it crashed 5 times.

Graphics look pretty good maxed out and the sounds are pretty impressive (predator vision and heat sounds could be tuned to reflect more from the original and movies.) Now the bad..and boy does it suck for me to lay all this out. Installation, man what a painfull process, took three attempts to install, after that took another hour just to get the game to run (my computer far exceeds the recommended requirements for the game in addition.) Finally after starting the game, the horrid stuttering began, it would ruin several parts of the game where i would get blasted by opponents or make a cutscene un-watchable due to the horrid lag/slideshow the game becomes for about 15 seconds, the down part it is random regardless even if you turn down your graphics quality. This has been happening to many users and reported on Sega's and steams forums and hopefully rebellion is making a patch. Second, the controls are horrid, responsiveness is terrible even with "mouse lag" turned off and feels very sluggish, alien ceiling walking is annoying too since there is a significant delay in between transitioning surfaces also (easier with transition set to auto but makes it more difficult to execute simple jumps.) Third, they reused every single level almost in all three campaigns so if you get that feeling of deja-vu you are right, you just played that level as a different species. No dedicated servers still, empty promises falling on some really upset AvP community fans ears. Really short campaign also, I expected much more replay value for $50 game. They had a good idea with the game but just delivered it literally in its late alpha early beta build, this game is not done and it show's.

Not to mention it isn't even powerful enough to consider using in the first place. The combi stick is cool but again, why didn't the developers make the shoulder cannon as powerful as this weapon and kept this one as a melee weapon like in the last one? Plus I don't like the fact that I have to collect a skull while my victim is alive, the predators didn't care in the movies nor in the last 2 games. Plus you would think they could add in an option of you skinning your victims the hang them from a ceiling (that would have been a huge plus) As far as the Alien goes, you just have to give it 5 minutes to get used to. I like how you can see enemies through walls now (BIG PLUS). I didn't like how slow it is to use the tail on an enemy. Trophy kill is cool, but if I am point blank and on target with the head, I should be able to just head bite. You would think with all the strides in programming that they would have an option where as the alien you could grab hide bodies like the aliens did in the movies. I just hope they come out with mod tools for this so people can create maps for more play (like adding more Aliens atmosphere levels with more access to the smart gun).… Expand

    While AvP manages to be a unique game in some ways ( such as the different styles of the 3 races you can play as ) , the game is let down in other areas.

    I liked this game, but I found out that there is no alien life cycle in it like AVP2. Massivley disappointing. It was so fun shooting those little bastards off the wall or being one and hunting down marines and predators. Looks like AVP2 is still our LAN game. Sure the campaign is alright. but MP is a letdown. I am very disappointed.

The marines have this useless jump mechanic, and you can't duck for some reason. Also your weapons are very unbalanced, the pulse rifle and flamethrower lack power and the pistol has unlimited ammunition and you should avoid using it all together. The Predators are quite functional and seem balanced although they suffer a similar problem to the aliens in that they have these long unskippable finishing moves (theres no standard attack), that are also in MULTIPLAYER. During these animations you can easily be killed by other players. Why would they include this in both single and multiplayer? Its horrid. Although the rest of the multiplayer is pretty good, stalking predators, hit and run aliens. Infestation mode. Having feel that again since AvP 2 is refreshing. But without innovation it won't bring in new players...

    Single Player 5/10
    Multiplayer 7/10

    The game suffers from new problems but also lacks ambition, it doesn't try anything new except adding on predator jumping (which feels a bit restrictive & you barely get a chance to use it after the first hour of gameplay). We get Pyramids and a bit of outdoors dusty plains, inside of base. Retreading old steps.    … Expand

    AVP is a FPS based on the well known cinema saga with the same name. Rebellion produces this new game, and imo they have caught most of the good aspects of the movies.

    The different campaigns are the most known aspect of the game, and since the game is from 2010, with a dead multiplayer it's the only thing I can judge. All campaigns are well built, despite the fact we always get the feeling that the Alien one is always going with the flow. All campaigns seem well connected, and if you play all at the same time the plot becomes a bitt better.

    Graphics are OK for a 2010 game, and with direct x 11 it's a kinda interesting game. Sound is very immersive, especially the Predator sounds.

    2- GAMEPLAY

    This game tries to gather some different mechanics, none of those in a specially good manner.

    If you play as a Marine you will have a more regular FPS experience. The game is kinda darkish, maybe to give some jumpscares, but it fails bigtime. I have not find noticeable bugs, but not being able to crouch is kinda odd. Weapons seem a bit weak, but in the other hand we can melee the Aliens with our hands...

    The base of the Predator's campaign is stealth, and being able to choose the proper resource of his arsenal. We only have access to the best weapons near the end of the game, and that's unfortunate. Also unfortunate the fact of the plasma custer intensive use of our energy. I love to see the red target forming, and I always choose other weapon just to save energy.

    Aliens have to use the shadows and their speed, but the controls are very confusing, with some learning curve to adapt to all the twists and turns that we will see. Try not to vomit... much. When we see the alien from the Marine or Predator's perspective their movements seem very elegant, and very well designed, it's a shame that those same movements do not feel the same when we are controlling them.

    We have some fatality moves. They are quite cool, but after we see all of them they became annoying, since we are exposed to other opponents when we are performing them, and they can take quite a while to finish.

    3- CONCLUSION

    AVP is now marked at 14,99€. Before you buy the game you have to keep in mind that this game does not excels in any aspect. Not a especially good FPS, not a remarkable stealth game, not impressive

    melee hunting game. So what to do? All the interesting environment around AVP game is well built, and if you are a fan of the series you will like this game. On top of that, the game is easy to find in any sale at a very cheap price. So this can be fun for everyone. Be sure to give it a go.    … Expand

Alien campaign for me was the best, controls were slick enough, tho whenever you need to enter tight spaces you must press a prompt which takes away bit of the movement freedom. Predator segment was also pretty cool, tho the auto jumping mechanic was kinda lame and just like with Alein it takes away some of the freedom of movement. One more good thing was how they approach the license and do justice to the Alien and Predator lore, both species were recreated, sound designed and animated really great. Only shame that marine pusle rifle felt so weak and underpowered.

    Graphics wise game doesnt impress me, the fact that the game is dark doesnt bother me, complete absence of color does, making the game look very bland. Art style doesnt do anything aswell, all the environments even ancient Predator ruins and temples look meh. Performance wise game ran great at almost maxed settings, except the DX11 exclusive settings whicj make the game run like a$$ when turned on.    … Expand

    So much promise here that sadly isn't executed as well as it could have been. It's not a bad game. Just not a good one. The graphics are decent and in general the gameplay is solid. Melee is handled with a type of rock, paper, scissors system. When it's works it's a thing of beauty but it needs some refinement (and some added depth) to really shine. Hit detection seems iffy.

Melee is handled with a type of rock, paper, scissors system. When it's works it's a thing of beauty but it needs some refinement (and some added depth) to really shine. Hit detection seems iffy. The camera makes it difficult to track your opponent, and the actual combat can feel a little slow. Especially when playing the multiplayer. Way too many times was I locked in an intense melee battle with an opponent, only to have some joker come up behind me and execute me, ruining the tense skill based fight I was enjoying. Which brings me to one of my biggest grips with the game. The executions. Sneak up behind an opponent and you can engage a satisfying (and disgusting) execution. In single player these are lots of fun, but they don't translate well to the multiplayer mode. For one, the animations are painfully long. It's pretty much a guarantee that if you perform one, someone is gonna come up behind you and get you as soon as the animation finishes. It's not uncommon to see a "train" of 3-4 executions. It's silly. It's also an easy fix. Speed up the animation. But sadly no fix. Another sad thing about this game is the lack of any real modding community. Aliens: Colonial Marines has seen a number of fantastic gameplay tweaks that actually made it fun to play. AVP has seen little more than skins and lighting changes. The last thing that bothers me about this game is the inclusion of the AVP film universe in the story. Those films were terrible. Why they decided to include any influences of design or story into the game is beyond me. That and the dialogue is usually pretty cheesy and juvenile.

    There is fun to be had here. Despite my complaints about the melee system and the executions, I enjoyed my time with the multiplayer. I really wish the game had more support after launch. Perhaps they could have fixed some of these complaints. As it's stands Aliens vs Predator is an entertaining but flawed shooter with a boring story and repetitive level design. It's worth picking up for a play through but at this point I don't think you'll be able to find a multiplayer match and without multiplayer or mod support the games longevity is limited.

    I do hope Rebellion gets another crack at a sequel. With refinements to the gameplay, a better story and writing (THAT DOESN'T REFERENCE THE FILMS!!!) and more interesting level design they could have one of the best Alien/Predator games ever.    … Expand

    Avg. Time to beat: 8 hours, 30 minutes.
    Quickest Speedrun (all campaigns): 1 hours, 35 minutes.

    Retail Price: $14.99
    Lowest Historical Price on Steam: $1.49

    Quick Take: A 2010 refresh of Rebellion's original game from 1999, Aliens versus Predator offers a new and exciting action-packed installment. There is an individual campaign for each playable race: Aliens, Colonial Marines, and Predator. The Colonial Marine missions provide plenty of entertainment and excitement, but the fun falls flat once you get to the other campaigns. Graphics look fresh for being ten years old but beware of map fatigue as the designers reuse the same maps and layouts throughout the game. Awkward controls and clumsy surface transitioning hurt the Alien and Predator campaigns. Sound design and audio mix seem mostly great, however, a few voice-acted moments within the Marine audio diaries are quite amateurish. No online multiplayer matches to be found. It's a shame, but common for many games even only five years old.

    Pros:
    - Well-paced campaign. Doesn't slow down much and seems appropriately long.
    - Spectacular level and quality of gore. So violent it was banned in Australia.
    - Predator thermal vision is amazing looking to run around while flipped on. They really improved this in all the right ways.
    - A lot of action and great combat moments. Marine campaign feels very similar to modern DOOM releases.

    Cons:
    - Some really bad voice acting mixed in there. Some of the audio diaries sound like the voice actors were having a laugh. Tremendous overacting and too many "colorful" characters in the cast.
    - Singleplayer is too short. It could have been much longer per each campaign.
    - Marine weapons sound very weak, especially the pulse rifle.
    - Map re-usage is a drag and makes the game feel far too repetitive.
    - Albeit a minor complaint, the UI/Menu is really dated looking even for 2010.

    Concept: Similar to the original '99 release, the game pits Colonial Marines, Aliens, and Predators against each other in a cat-and-mouse deathmatch. Each playable race has their own campaign which intertwines with the others, all sharing an overarching narrative. Multiplayer consists of various competitive or co-op game modes. Unfortunately online multiplayer is dead. Also, don't go in expecting a quality story. It's pretty average and even notably campy in parts.

    Graphics: Once again comparing it to the '99 original; the improvement in graphics, AI, and atmospheric particle effects like laser beams and smoke/fog make for a more involved and exciting experience. By 2020 standards it's of course dated, but still holds its own and works well enough. Lighting, wind blowing leaves and branches, fog, clouds, light rays, waterfalls, and general atmosphere look great. I don't like the menu UI. I think it feels dated. More like 2005-2007 than 2010.

    Sound: Very mixed quality and a mixed bag overall. Too much of the voice acting is either over-acted, very cliche. or just bad. Some voice acting seems good and totally appropriate, while others are practically caricatures or living memes. NPC marines will constantly shout "DON'T RELAX YET MARINES" along with other canned statements making for both an incredibly annoying and hilarious experience. Many weapons sound weak, especially the pulse rifle. The ambient audio, especially in the jungle, sounds very layered and helps with immersion.

    Gameplay: Gameplay is mostly fun - rather you play as a marine launching a bulletstorm assault against your foes or even if the bullets are coming from the marines while you play as an Alien or Predator. The marine campaign plays very similar to the modern DOOM games, or even somewhat like the first modern Shadow Warrior game. Don't expect much scares apart from the occasion jump. The vibes overall pale in comparison to say Alien: Isolation. The Predator has far more big combat moments than either of the other two campaigns. The controls alone have left me substantially disappointed. Re-mapping the keys was hugely helpful in making things feel way less awkward. It was still clunky and unnatural feeling. Appropriate amount of cut-scenes.

    Entertainment: Certainly more fun than I had with Aliens Versus Predator from 1999. Don't play expecting any terrifying or horrific emotions. It's not particularly scary outside of a few jump scares. Even those are pretty predictable. Nonetheless, it makes for a fun romp around shooting things as a Colonial Marine. Really, really enjoyed that campaign. Unfortunately, the others did not provide the same entertainment, although they arguably had some of the better boss fights. I found the Colonial Marine campaign to be a lot of fun and left me wanting more. The Predator and Alien campaigns left me hoping they would end sooner.    … Expand

This impressed me the most. Then I thought, the way we evaluate "good" might be selfish, right? Ultimately, the action of each race leads to good for its own race and evil for other races.

The race that wanted to brutally partition off your or the alien's head from its body didn't want to do it for their "race"? I guess if we compare points of view, there will be no good or bad.

Melee fights with blocks and counterattacks are somewhat awkward. Added the ability to finish off the opponent, which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. The music has some good themes, but most of them are not particularly memorable.
    The story campaign does not bring anything new. The same three campaigns of Alien, Predator, and Marine. Only from the campaign for the Alien, which is already too short, the lifecycle from facehugger to Drone was cut. But they added the ability to hide in holes and attach facehugger to their victims. Also, for some unknown reason, they added the ability to collect jars of slime.
    Some vision modes and alternative weapons have been removed from the Predator. But they added some new stuff like voice bait and mine. In this game, the Predator feels more like prey than a hunter. Although the campaign for him looks pretentious, as well as the very appearance of the hero. Often there are not enough moments where you instill fear in ordinary frightened people, such as unarmed scientists, etc.
    The Marine campaign is somewhat similar to the previous parts, but not as exciting, intense, and dynamic. There are some interesting plot moments and locations, such as a strip bar with Aliens and a holographic dancer. But in general, it turned out to be too ordinary.
    In the end, the game turned out to be not bad, but too weak for a reboot of the franchise.    … Expand

    Первая кампания за человека - от всех прочих "тиров" выделяется своими врагами, а именно чужими. Которые не только перемещаются в одной плоскости, но и умудряются извиваться на стенах и потолках. Да и как хоррор неплохо работает, по большей части заслуга хорошего звука/музыки.
    Вторую кампанию решил проходить за хищника. Углубились в изучение конфликта Хищника и Чужого, но максимально поверхностно. В отличии у простого человека в геймплейном арсенале у нас есть большие прыжки, гаджеты и крутые добивания. К сожалению, геймплей за хищника показался мне показался каким-то очень топорным.
    Третья и последняя за Чужого - ну это по большей части чистый фан. Геймплей быстрый, жук этот лазает везде, красивые добивания как у хищника присутствуют и всё это не топорно, в отличии от хищника.
    Было бы ещё хорошо, что бы это ещё было завёрнуто в качественную историю, но её тут нет. Левел-дизай намкимально блеклый и бедный. Особенно это видно на просторных локациях (по большей части за хищника видна эта халтура). Сюжет же говорит А, а про Б забывает. Сделан, как я говорил выше, что бы хоть как то связать локации между собой и те самые три кампании.
    Рекомендуется только уж сильно заядлым фанатам этих персонажей.
