Aliens vs. Predator

This game is a great first person shooter. If you liked the F.E.A.R. series, The Chronicles of Riddick:Assault on Dark Athena, or Half Life 2. You would really find this game awesome. The title has a lot of quick paced shooting and with close-corridors combat(melee) that is very fun.<br /><br />The story doesn't have anything to do with the Movies, other then the Aliens, Predators, and Space Marines. The style of the story/character interaction is something you may have seen in few movie but you will never find the story routine in many First person games. You are given the opportunity to play as the Soldier, Alien, or Predator; each character has its own story but the story all intersects with the final outcome of the game.<br /><br />Space Marine: You an your squad are to respond to a distress signal on an colonised planet that is used for mining.<br /><br />Aliens: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, the bullets from the breakfast can hurt.<br /><br />Predator: You are at the age where it is time for you to set upon trial too learn the ways of the most fiercest hunter in all the universe. A fallen one has called for help and you are to find what has come of him.<br /><br />There isn't anything different from the older computer versions of the title. SEGA did a fantastic job. The single player is very suspenseful and exciting. The only (multiplayer) aspect they left out was spawning out of an alien egg and infecting a unsuspecting soldier.<br />-------------<br />Team-deathmatch: with all speicies. <br /><br />Deathmatch: with all speicies. <br /><br />Domination: a capture and hold positions with all species.<br /><br />Hunt the predator: which is soldiers are too kill the predator and whom ever kills the predator, becomes the predator.<br /><br />Infestation: A alien is selected from the gamers. As soldiers/everyone get killed by aliens; everyone will respawn as aliens.<br />------------<br /><br />A well balanced game, with a great story, graphics, and sound that will make you jump at shadows.<br /><br />Only thing I did not like was the short story(s).

This game was... Well it was weak. When I got it in the mail, I was so happy to finally play as an alien. So I got the game in my PS3 and boom. 1 hour later the campaign ended and I was like well that sucked, maybe online gameplay is epic??? Little did I know, online was lame too. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay was fantastic. But you had to wait constantly to find a room. And after the match ended the room closed itself. I found that highly annoying. The skins thing was by far the best feature, but levels coulda been cool too. I mean shouldn't aliens be able to spit acid eventually? Or the predators be able to completely mask themselves like in the movie? This game was released too early and unless your a huge AvP fan, you'll be deeply disappointed.

I don't know what the deal is here on gamefly but I think this game is great. A lot of these reviews have invalid complaints and ridiculously unjust low scores. All of the species are excellently balanced (I find I win most games no matter which one I pick). Whoever says the aliens are weak and the predators are the only one worth playing are bad. All species have their advantages and disadvantages. When playing as an alien, you have to be sneaky and evasive. You can't just run up and punch stuff (which I see a lot of people do and die over and over again as aliens.) I find playing as a marine almost like a first-person survival horror game. It's creepy, atmospheric, and satisfying to shoot aliens. As a predator (my lease favorite race, but still decent) you have to stealth and outsmart your enemies. Your stealth won't fool an observant human, and aliens can see through it. Both the alien and predator rely on speed and stealth to be successful. As a marine you have to be sharp and keep an eye on your motion sensor. In most battles a marines fire power will win if he spots an enemy first and is a decent shooter. <br /> <br />Online play aside, the campaigns are decent. I liked them but I know many people did not. If you're just looking for a creepy sci-fi campaign this is a great game to rent. If you're interested in the diversity and atmosphere of the online, I would consider buying the game (after trying it first, of course!). I, for one, cannot remember the last time I had so much fun playing competitive game online.

Aliens Vs. Predator could have been awsome. It has three different story modes, and a competitve multiplayer mode. All of this is set in the iconic, action packed universe of AVP. Sadly, there are numerous flaws that hold back the experience, but there are some good parts. <br /> <br />The marine campaign is one of the worst FPS you'll find. No iron sights will cripple even the most skilled FPS expert, the ultra annoying motion sensor is always blaring in your ear, and the repeated level design makes the worst PS1 shooter look like Call of Duty 4. This was easily my least favorite part of the game. <br /> <br />The Alien campaign isn't great, but it does have some ups. The stealth kill animations really give the Alien personality. Slicing guys heads of, jabbing your tail through thier stomach, and a first person view of an extendo-mouth bite to the head are only topped by harvesting. This consists of tackling an innocent civilian, prying their head to the side, and watching a face hugger harvest them. The campaign is short and the controls can be confusing, but this is still a decent time. <br /> <br />The Predator campaign is where this game truly shines. The Predator controls are relatively easy to learn, so you wont be fighting with the controler more than you will Xenomorphs. The claws, combi stick, plasma cannon, smart disk, and other iconic weapons and tools are a blast to use. The level design is great for the most part, and the length is perfect for the amount of fun you'll have, clocking in at about 4-5 hours. <br /> <br />The multiplayer pits all 3 races against each other, but other than that, there isn't much that will keep you away from Modern Warfare 2 or Bad Company 2 for very long. <br /> <br />All in all, AVP may be the one game you really want to love, but will instead disappoint you for the most part. Play it for the Predator story, or maybe don't play it at all.

I have just played the first two solo parts of the game. I also have just played the multiplayer. I have to say that this game is great. The single player is exhilirating. Multiplayer is great. There is something out there for everyone. The weapons the species use are all of the things from the movies. Also, for me, one whos wasn't a fan of the movies, the game is very exciting without knowing much about it. I loved this game. I recommend it for any fan of the movie series, or person looking for a good game.

There is a lot of good in this title. The multiplayer (when I've been able to find matches) has been fun, but a little frustrating. The learning curve of each species is a bit rough, but fun once you get it. The controls were ok and the feel of the game was also pretty fair, but there were two things that killed me.<br /><br />1: The ability to find and play multiplayer is horrid. I can browse friendly matches, but rarely can play because a game has started or the owner has left. Ranked matches are similar. They make you wait with one or 2 other people for 5 minutes until there is the minimum number that can play. Once the game starts, half the people leave and you end up playing 2 v 2 the whole time. It's aggravating that it is so difficult to join a game and get into the action.<br /><br />2: The alien movement is difficult. Wallwalking and everything is fine, but the alien is always grabbing a surface. The biggest issue is the floors in pyamid have holes in them, which makes it almost impossible to get past them quickly without jumping. It's a bit nitpicky, but after playing tremulous on the PC I was having difficulty running across the ground surfaces.<br /><br />All in all it's not a bad game. The issues come up when you want to get a match going and are unable to find one that exists or that is satisfying.

Well I ernted this game expecting it to be horrible but was suprised. The game has 3 story lines for you to play through. The predator, the alien and a human. The alien is pretty much just a mele character that can climb on walls, simple to use and pretty bland. Its story seemed short as it was quite fast and not a lot you can do with a character that can only mele. The predator has the technology and power combined. Its story was fun as it seemes you were out for everyone! Just blasting your wat through eveything and everyone. The human character was of course a soilder using guns and flares as seen in all the alien movies. I actually found some of the humans storyline to be a little spooky. Everytime a alien would start getting closer your motion dector would let off the noise familar to what you would hear in the aliens movie. Where the game drops off it the online multiplayer mode. I didnt like online at all and sent it back quickly after platying the story modes. A good renter if you are a fan of the movies.

Alien vs Predator is a game that was highly anticipated by most of us to hit the shelves. I was expecting a bit more than what was offered and must say that the game seemed more directed for a ps2 or wii system due to its graphics and gameplay, than a game for the high-end consoles. It was horrid and a bit of boring with its 12 or so missions for a total of a bit over four hours of playable time.
