So that being said, there are some points I am disappointed with. I have to say, in the Game Spot review is spot on how the game was through MOST (not all) of it's review. I wanted more Aliens atmosphere in the marine campaign and not half of it fighting androids. Plus with how far programming has come, you would expect to be fighting side by side with other marines like in Quake 4, Call of Duty games, and not being a programmed game of this is where AI players die. No crouching is a big deal as well being I wanted some fighting in the air ducts like in the end of Aliens. In the Predator campaign, unlike the previous 2 games, your energy for the shoulder canon does not recharge at all (except 2 scenes), you have to go find power cells to recharge it. 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

Once the dedicated servers come out for this on PC. The multiplayer community will skyrocket. MW2 Kids will hate this game, and AvP fans will love it a lot. The singleplayer campaigns are fun, and interesting to see what you can do. The multiplayer, is pretty fun when you play with friends. (Played Species TDM.) 3 Teams is somewhat different from other multiplayer games. Like some people said "AvP is a love or hate game." And i love it. Don't listen to the crap reviewers who gave this game a 5. It's no MW2 or any other big title but, it is certainly entertaining to rip the spine of a marine.

    A great game with some flaws, but overall a very movie like experience, especially with the Alien and Predator. Too bad that they dumbed down the controls for the consoles, the lack of crouch is a very painful thing.

The graphics throughout are impressive, especially the shadows and lighting, a high amount of attention was put into this game to make it look as dark and as grim as it should be. Learning to use your enviroment is what makes the gameplay as solid as it is, aliens hide in the shadows then bring the fight right out, preadators hide in plain sight and strike without notice and humans cautiously wait out the storm trying to survive. I highly recomend this game to players who enjoyed the original AvP, or who like games such as doom and such. With all that being said, if you dont enjoy the maddness of hunting being hunted or just trying to survive, you can always just chase your tail with the Xenomorph.… Expand

    A unique FPS, there is more to this than just point and click to win with 1 shot kills. Which is probably why so many didn't like it. I also played through Bioshock 2 recently and found AVP3 more fun. The down side (like like bioshock2) is the annoying matchmaking system for multiplayer.

    It was SWEET! When I first entered the game, I noticed how many different things you can do! My favorite by far is the ALien, but the Predator is very strong when you have become familiar with it's functions. Who wants to be human? Pfft.

Playing the marine is very VERY atmospheric and if you enjoyed the scares and jumps and the fear factor the radar brings to the table in the second game is right up your street, the predator has been redone very well, the controls really show how much thought rebellion has put into this, when all 3 races feel beautifull executed. The game stays true to the franchise and fans like myself will love it, but will probably be left wanting more. And like myself will go check out the multiplayer scene. This is another strong point for AVP and the game modes are a lot of fun, dedicated servers are not quiet there yet, but atleast there in the pipeline, the current system feels a little slow, if not well structered, and the action like the first player seems very chopped up and not to fluid, like watching a tv program with the adverts being 5 mins long to fill up the hour. The game is beautiful visually and controls like a dream but the action is either to short or just to chopped up to give you the punch that the others did.… Expand

What i dont get also is why do dead people, creatures, predators sill produce a heat signiture? The still glow red/orange/white, even though they are dead when using Pred vision instead of being black/dark blue or slowly turning that color if you just killed them like the Scorpion in the original Predator film? Most of the AVP films, predator films and alien(s) films happen at night or in the darkness of space but for some reason only the first part of he marine mission is in building full of dark corridors, once you get outside its day time and kills the atmospheres that was so great in the first portion. I was really looking forard to this game and i have been really let down, sure the multi-player may be decent for those who love multi-player and think they own everyone else but for me it was the single player stories that would make/break this game and unfortunately its been downright demolished. The game is buggy and slightly broken also, atleast the PC version, for instance as the predator i was trying to jump onto a piece of land below me but the cursor just wouldnt let me do it, it wouldnt change to the "open" position, i then tried to "distract" someone to that place, again wouldnt work, yet a piece of land further away would allow me to do this. Also the "acting" is bad or badly scripted, for example one of the marines is talking about the "creatures" after them, its not only aliens they have to worry about he says "why does everything hear hate our guts", come on its an 18 game "hate our guts"? He should say things "why is it everything on this goddam planet is trying to kill us" or "why is everything trying to fucking kill us man". They should have taken most of their inspiration for this from the film "Aliens" with more dialogue like the colonial marines in that, they kind of do but get it seriously wrong by trying to emulate Vasquez as a female soldire called "Tequila"... They should have tried to emulate Hudson, Hicks. the Sargeant at the start shows promise but you only see him very briefly at the start and then the next time you see him you have to kill him because hes been impregnated, they should have allowed you to interact with him more, even fight along side him. They throw you into solo play far too quickly also and the way they do that isnt even with a good story because you get knocked out as pretty much right away in the drop ship and from then on only see semi blacked out fragments of whats happening, very very lame. Seems instead of using the Aliens as a reference they used one of those crappy AVP films, i know its an AVP game but they could have incorporated the Aliens story/vibe, which they do, but only briefly and not that well. poor poor poor effort, even the decent graphics cant make up for a poor storyline. Sad, lets hope Colonial Marines gets released and they learn from the mistakes/shortfall of this game or have a better team on it to begin with.… Expand

The alien has a lot of versitility, and speed, giving you the option to be the "heard but not seen" threat. And the predetor has some of the best stealth abilites, and the maps are created so that he can use them to the fullest extent.

Seven different game modes allows endless fun and allows you to enjoy the experience without feeling like it's getting repetitive. These game modes are Infestation, Predator Hunt, Death Match, Team Death Match, Mixed Death Match, Domination, Survival Mode Infestation is a new take to the classic zombie mode. Instead of facing off with one shambling zombie that slowly overwhelms your team as more and more players drop there's one fast moving and lethal alien. 17 marine players face off against a Xenomorph and if that Xenomorph scores a kill, more players join it's rank. What makes this, in my opinion, interesting than most games "Zombie" modes is that the Xenomorphs are extremely fast, aggressive, and can pop out of anywhere. This makes the fight for survival and to be the last man standing increasingly more difficult as more of your friends join their rank. Predator Hunt is another interesting take on the classic known as Juggernaut. If a marine scores a kill on the Predator he becomes the next Predator. What makes it different is that the Predator can cloak, has highly advanced weapons, and a good well placed mind can take out most of the marine team. Even more, he has a plasma shoulder canon that can score multiple kills at one, the classic combi stick that many players simply don't see coming and much more. Death Match, not much to say about this, it's easily in my opinion the weakest mode in the game. It allows you to pick one of the three species and go head to head in a free for all against one another. It's fun but I find it gets boring after all. It's also very anti-thematic compared to the other modes. Team Death Match on the other hand is very fun and here is where it differs from other fps games! You don't play with one team but THREE. It's humans/Aliens/Predators in an all out fight to out score the other team via kills. Six humans against Six Aliens against Six Predators for a total of 18 players. With the difference between the species fighting styles you never know what to expect. This definitely ranks up there as one of the top game modes. Mixed Team Death Match is the classic Team Death Match. Two sides fighting it out but the difference here is that each Team can be any species you want. I dislike this mode buuut I find that it's better than regular Death Match. It can be really fun if you have friends who refuse to play the same species as yourself in the other team death match and this way you can all get together with your preferred species and have fun. Domination is the same as other games. Try to hold several points to outscore the other team. Other people might be thrilled with this addition but I feel it could have been done without. It's not my cup of tea and there's not much to say about it. Finally there's survival mode. You and three friends group up to fight wave after wave of Xenomorphs. Each wave forcing you to be more frantic and desperate than the last as you try to stay alive and make it through. So why didn't I give the game a 10/10? There's one massive flaw to this otherwise fun game but we already knew about it before it released, right? The single player is short. I mean, really short. 5 hours average for each campaign but can be completed in a total of 8 hours if you're a skilled gamer. The level designs are very linear and within an hour of playing there's not much surprises left in store. The old school addition of bosses are fun but you'll be done with this in a few hours. If you're in it for the single player experience? The game is worth a rent. If you love Multiplayer? This is one of THE must have FPS games.… Expand

    My god, what an abomination. You can't even blame this one on the consoles. This is just outright horrible. 1-button, set-the-controller-down-and-watch "trophy kills" (which has essentially turned the multiplayer into a spam fest)? Auto-aim?! Seriously, **auto-aim**?! Hit-and-miss wallwalking (sometimes it works .. sometimes it doesn't)? No crouch? etc etc ... The list of My god, what an abomination. You can't even blame this one on the consoles.

Hit-and-miss wallwalking (sometimes it works .. sometimes it doesn't)? No crouch? etc etc ... The list of utterly horrible/insane design decisions goes on an on. From a feature standpoint, there is literally less in AvP3 than AvP1--a 10+ year old game, mind you (ie you can't even headbite an enemy as the Alien). It's just a downgrade from any angle (except from a technical standpoint), and what has remained is implemented in an inferior way. What a let down. Who would have thought the same developer that brought us such an amazing franchise 11 years ago would go ahead and defile it with this crap? Whether or not we'll ever see another commercial Aliens vs Predator game is now questionable.… Expand

    How can you give a game like call of duty MW 9s and 10s and then give this game a 7. This is not only the most fun but most innovative multiplayer fps I've ever played and I've played a lot. Playing this game with friends makes me forget time completely. All 3 species have unique fun gameplay, though as far as I'm concerned predators are blatantly Over-Powered, but I assume How can you give a game like call of duty MW 9s and 10s and then give this game a 7.

All 3 species have unique fun gameplay, though as far as I'm concerned predators are blatantly Over-Powered, but I assume the devs will fix this soon as they catch wind of it from players. It's moreso skill-based than any fps released in past 2 years. If you think an arcade shooter masked as a tactical one like COD MW is skillbased you'll probably end up crying this is too tough for you, after all with this new cater-to-console age its rare you find anything truly skill based anymore as well as innovative.… Expand

    A good campaign, the marine one, and some variety in gameplay mechanics provide a quite fun experience. Unfortunately some ideas lack polish and the other two-thirds of the single player are just not as good as they were supposed to be.

    Aliens Vs Predator is a standard First Person Shooter, but thanks to the Predator's and Xenomorph's campaigns, it entertains old and new players. Even the multiplayer mode is funny and well structured, but the graphics engine is not that good.

    The controls for Predators and Xenomorphs may be a bit tricky and the AI sometimes doesn't show any "Intelligence" at all, but nevertheless: AvP is a most-have for fans of the movies, as well as the games - especially if you're into absolute multiplayer-mayhem and dont mind "some" gore.
