    This game was completely awesome. Loved playing and killing other dudes lol. This game is the best i've played so far and i hope the sequel will be in 3D. But it wasn't just the game, but also the story was great and something people wanted in a story.

    Aliens vs. Predator is not a perfect game by any means. The gun play, mission types and general set-up all feel very last generation. At it's core, AvP is an antiquated game sharing more in common with Perfect Dark than Call of Duty. Despite this, Aliens vs. Predator is a lot of fun. It's mechanics, whilst old, work completely fine and the game has tight controls. But most importantly, AvPAliens vs. Predator is not a perfect game by any means.

But most importantly, AvP nails the atmosphere and spirit of the movies just right. If you're a big fan of the franchises, this game is sure to delight. All three of the campaigns feel and play very distinctly and they're all equally as fun. The plot is also descent as each species experiences the same event, but from different skews. You'll have to wait until you've finished all three campaigns to fully understand the bigger picture. Because of it's franchise association, the game has a high replay value. Sometimes I just want to dip into the Aliens universe. When that time comes, AvP gets dusted down and played through again. The multiplayer is pretty descent, but it's here where the older game mechanics make themselves felt the most. Basically, it's never going to replace a COD or a Battlefield as your go-to online shooter. Overall, Aliens vs. Predator is a good, solid game. But if you're a huge fan of the franchise, it can sometimes transcend into a great one.… Expand

Marine survival horror, alien stealth, and predator's "kill everything" gameplay. All of them are very different gameplay and different armories but all them share the same problem: being very fiddly. Predtor's weapons are irritating to acces, complete simple tasks like jumping on to buildings require you to hold buttons while clicking others. Alien wall climbing is irritating, much like the clunkyness of playing as a marine. Graphics wise it misses a lot of chances to impress, avoiding most of the best places from the films. Multiplayer is good, featuring a variety of game modes on ejoyable maps, however teams are easlily unblanced and can have you gritting your teeth in anger. There are those times that get you smiling aswell, like getting one of variety of grapple moves, which can often end in a long line of people killing each other, like a massacre at a konga party.

    Overall an enjoyable games that both angers and wows, offering lots of variety in singleplayer.

Once the controls are mastered the action is fun and entertaining, travelling upside down is a breeze and transition is seamless, sorry haters you guys just don't know how to play the game, so if you find new controls difficult, stick to what you know best which is practically zip. Playing as predator is especially fun, ripping out the spines of your victims and using their heads to access locks, oh the fun, in fact the only thing missing here is an Earth level with Arnie in it. Unfortunately game designers can't please everybody but if you buy this from the bargain table for a song you won't be disappointed at all. With any luck the sequel or prequel will be even better.… Expand

Alien is disorienting at first to players who haven't played the previous games, but if you aren't prone to motion sickness, you'll get a long just fine. Multiplayer shines real bright, offering vintage modes such as FFA and TDM, and apply some twists in the fashion of Mixed Species Team Deathmatch and conquest... also offering a remake of the original "horde mode" titled "Survivor" that is just as creepy if not more so than the original. It sports 7 games modes and 3 full length single player campaigns that tell a pretty good story that is every bit as detailed as the movie... including the likeness of hollywood star and Alien veteran, Lance Henrikson. The campaign is really beautifully voiced. This game is such a vast departure from games with a play style akin to MW2 and can be a little discouraging at first, but if you stick it out and really learn the game you should realize it's value.

    Did you enjoy AVP2? If so, you probably won't enjoy this. Thanks to a ridiculous rock paper scissors melee combat system, severe balance issues, short campaigns, dead multiplayer, abysmally slow gameplay and disorienting controls especially for the alien, you'd be lucky if you didn't come down with a severe case of buyer's remorse.

Thanks to a ridiculous rock paper scissors melee combat system, severe balance issues, short campaigns, dead multiplayer, abysmally slow gameplay and disorienting controls especially for the alien, you'd be lucky if you didn't come down with a severe case of buyer's remorse.

    The Xenomorph is horribly weak compared to it's last outing in AVP2; removed is it's amazing pounce ability, easy to use wall climb, and any semblance of melee ability. Let me sum up the balance for you right here: a Marine can stunlock a Xenomorph in melee. Yes, the ranged specialist can destroy the melee-only (super strong in lore) Xenomorph in hand to hand combat. Sadly the xenomorph is now the weakest class in the campaign and multiplay.

    Newly added are ridiculous fatalities that take so long to execute, you'll be lucky not to die in the middle of ripping something's head off. Hope you enjoy maiming your enemies in the same four ways over and over, because these moves are the only way to quickly dispatch foes without getting embroiled in a drawn out alien vs marine boxing match.

    Both the Predator and Xenomorph campaigns are heavy on the stealth element. Xenomorphs must stick to the shadows, and predators must commandeer high ground and stay cloaked. The predator does have a new skill that makes the campaign a joke though; "Distraction". This new ability lets you target a marine you would like to distract, then select the location you would like him to walk to. Most marines will immediately head to the location you specified, where you can then leap down and use your instant-kill stealth attack. They never really get suspicious about the gargantuan pile of marine corpses they just walked into, so you can use the same exact blind corner to clear out most levels of marine enemies.

    In addition to this, and related to balance, the predator has two infinite use weapons; the disc and spear, which allow him to remain cloaked and completely decimate his targets at range. Cloaking also uses no energy now, and predators have lost their energy generator and heal-via-energy kit, in favor of a three maximum pickup pred-med-kit system that uses "health shards" much like a marine uses medkits. The predator is by far the most overpowered class in this game.

    The marine is your typical FPS experience, they have a motion detecting radar, and a variety (less than AVP2) of ranged weapons. The flamethrower has been weakened considerably since AVP2, and the marines have been taking martial arts lessons from solid snake apparently, as they can beat down both of the insanely strong (in lore) alien races in hand to hand combat. The marine campaign is no longer the chilling experience that it was, and part of this is the music and sound's various problems.

    Lets get into the music then, shall we? You may remember those violin shrieks when something scary happened in AVP2, well, these are now incorporated into the ambient music, and no longer mean anything. So I hope you enjoy hearing the exact same refrain of violin shriek, spooky noise, etc. over and over until you finish the game. You may as well put on your favorite Halloween haunted house cd, because that's what they've turned the soundtrack into. The only thing missing is Dracula making bluuhh noises.

    Replay value for the campaigns is poor, Hope you enjoy pointless pickups for a couple worthless achievements! Even the alien has to find royal jelly cans hidden around the levels in areas that make no sense considering what the items are. It also hurts the replay value that you keep revisiting the same areas through each campaign.

    I was saddened by the fact that as of November 2010, the multiplayer scene for this game seems to be on it's last gasps. I managed to get one match during the course of searching for three hours. There does exist some DLC for this game, but I'm not sure how much lacking it affects your ability to find a match.

    My final verdict for this game: Don't waste your money. Reinstall the old AVP games and have some actual fun, which this game lacks.    … Expand

    Well, based on the demo the negative reviews are correct in my opinion. The alien controls are hopelessly awkward, the environments are bland and dull to look at, the multi player maps are terrible and have areas you should be able to move over but cannot (invisible walls) and the game play just lacked any element of real enjoyment - I grew bored and stopped playing in less than a hour.

    Some publication wrote: "if it wasn't for the licence, no one would care about this game" and that is a very apt description. The Marine missions are the only thing that come close to meeting expectation (granted they were great). Predator capabilities were underutilised. Alien missions - a flash in the pan. Only get this game if you love Aliens and/or Predators.

When i saw that this game was not following the story of the AVP movies, i got excited because i wanted to play as a Predator or an Alien. Sadly, only half of my dream came true. Graphics in this game use the Unreal Engine, which worked really well in Bioshock , one of my favorite games of all time. But this game looks pretty bad, though not so bad that its terrible. While graphics could appeal to some, the gameplay is a huge downside to this game. The Marines are a standard FPS, two guns, grenades, melee, and it works well, but you dont FEEL like a stranded human fighting two extraterrestrial races, but a guy who is running around following orders. The Predator is easily the best of them all, multiple weapons, exciting gadgets, gruesome kills, it has it all. Who dosnt want to rip the spine out of a human and lovingly stroke it? Then you get the Alien, and my personal favorite of the races, but not because of this game. The controls are just plain awful, its so hard to figure out where you are once you start hopping from wall to wall and you attacks dont have any kick to them. Now, the ability to command a "Facehugger" to latch itself to a helpless human and a view of the mini head inside your mouth when you preform a special attack is awesome, but dosnt make up for the fact that its so hard to figure out the controls in the first place. Although the campaign has alot of flaws, it also is the only good part about this game. The multiplayer is useless and boring, after a few rounds i got bored and went back to the campaign. You play as one of the three races in a struggle for survival across multiple maps with alot of different game types, how could they mess up? Easy, with a server that take forever to load a match and rewards for leveling up that dont do anything but make you look cooler. When you level up, you unlock skins but dont unlock guns, abilities, or anything else, just how you look. How you play on your first match is how you play the rest of the time, guns are found just laying around and some of the maps, while familiar and i can appreciate the love some of them got, can range from good to terrible. Remember the pyramid from the original AVP? Its here, and it also changes every few minutes. Try playing as an alien while all the walls are changing, you get disoriented so easily and become an easy target by the other races because you'll be roaming around the ceiling and unable to figure out where you went. All in all, the campaign can give you some fun for a while as an predator and a marine but none for the alien, and the multiplayer is so empty that its hard to find a match now, and if you do it isnt worth your time.… Expand

    I am halfway through this game and so far have to say it has been very entertaining. I must point out I got it for a lot less than the original retail cost, but as it can be picked up cheap now I have based my score on it being a 'budget' title.

    The three campaigns all play differently and are authentic, closely matching the look and feel of the source material. the visuals are not triple A but they do the job and in some places really shine, especially as the predator during finishing moves and cloaking. Once you get the hang of the play styles you can really feel for each character and the game can be very tense or empowering, depending on who you are playing as.

    The single player campaigns are quite short and can be completed in a few hours each but there are three of them and different levels of difficulty and collectibles to add some longevity.

    I can recommend this if you are a fan of the films or even more so if you liked the original PC or jaguar games as this does play like an old school shooter at times, which isn't really a bad thing!    … Expand

    Too much of a good thing can actually make it worse, this proves that. The game had a great idea, but bad execution. IT has several gamebreaking bugs, but if you are a fan of the serie might be worth your time.

    Even though the game may not be outstanding in technical terms, I remember enjoying it a lot (and also suffering with the hardcore difficulty).

    The campaign is direct and with no complications, and the rendering of both aliens and predators is quite faithful. It is a pity the online servers were so awful (one of the worst I have ever seen).

    Like an antithesis to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, it proves that two great flavors don't always taste great together. [Issue#203, p.87]

    A game that's going to stoke the hearts of anyone who ever fell in love with the original films – which is likely anyone who's ever picked up a game pad.

    The attention to detail, the well-considered level design, and the sense of momentum that characterize the finest shooters are missing here. Aliens vs. Predator is sometimes enjoyable but never escapes an overwhelming sense of carelessness, so while it may remind you of the good old days, it fails to recapture them.
