    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.

    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

    One of the few actually scary games for PS3, I got this a few years ago with NO knowledge of the franchise.
    Each campaign is full-sized, The human one is scary, the predator one is just awesome, and the Alien one was so much fun.

    TENSE. If you are a fan of the movies then buy this game. Playing as human you get to kill both xenomorph and predators in one of the most tense campaigns ever, never mind the scenery you won't have time to look at it but having said that I found the graphics to be very decent. Playing as xenomorph you get to plunge your teeth into the skulls of hapless humans which is very entertaining,TENSE. If you are a fan of the movies then buy this game.

Playing as xenomorph you get to plunge your teeth into the skulls of hapless humans which is very entertaining, alien controls are... Alien, I mean what did people expect? 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

    Great fun being able to play all the different characters! Marine campaign is genuinely scary, especially if you play it first (best to). Predator abilities and weapon controls take some learning but once learnt you can really have some fun tearing a new hole in some Xenos.

    I don't see why everyone has been saying this is a poor attempt at making an AvP game. I have the played all three AvP games plus own the second and the third game and personally the third isn't as good as the two previous games made but it still stands on its own.

It's charms do where off though but it is still fun to play. It is a solid game and if you're a fan of the movies i do recommend it as a must have game. The only reason i don't give it a ten is because of the poorly designed matchmaking system for ranked matches. Still gives me the sh*ts… Expand

    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.

    This game is great! This coming from a newbie to the series (don't really like movies) and I can say that the addition of the Predators and Aliens makes this a more than average shooter.

    I have been playing all day and have yet to see what the bad reviews talk about. I don't see anything wrong with the visuals.

It's really fun to play species team deathmatch as well as other modes. If you are an avp fan then this game is the next best thing to the original alien and predator movies (not the two crappy avp). It feels as if you are watching "aliens" all over again which is a very good thing. In short it looks great, it plays great, it feels great and its worth its money. Sure it's not GOTY material or Killzone 3 but it is a very good game nonetheless and doesn't deserve any score below 7-8.… Expand

This game looks stellar in 1080p. Controls are great Visuals are excellent, models have higher poly counts and texture resolutions than Crysis. 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.

    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.
