THIS GAME SUCKS. Dont beleave the hype on this one. Beleave me, I am a die hard aliens&predator fan to the end. And it sadens me to have to say this. But the plan facts of this one are this game sucks. The creators of this one spent way to much time on the grahics and way to little on the controls of the charicters and gameplay. Sure the game does have some of the best images in it, but thats to only trick this pony can do. I hope that i just got a defective copy of the game becouse after about half an hour playing it i fell like a fool for using my money to buy it. I just cant stress enough how bad the controls are on this game. It was like the characters were on pcp, the slitest little tap on the controls sent them shooting all over the place, not the best thing to have happen when trying to track an alien. The controls are way over sensative and with no way to adjust them hitting targets is a challange to the best shoot. Another problem is that when your character gets hit the screen gets covored by a sheet the color your the creatures blood. blocking you from seeing what is going on in the game, which is bad since the computer keeps on attacking you and your death come soon after since you cant see to fire back or run away. So in conlucsion, stay away from this one, it could have been one of the best but just dosn't have what it takes. Save your money and look elsewhare.

ok, but not long enough

i am an avid gamer, and am very fond of the aliens series, so i thought that this game would be a dream come true. infortunately, it wasn't. first of all, there are only 15 different maps. the maps get reused so frequently, it gets boring after a while. the learning curve is vewry basic, despite what the box says, and the alien is by far the easyest (sp?) to use. the marine is at an unfair disadvantage, as he only has a limite4d number of weapons, and they get taken away after every level. instead of a campain, the game has a mission sstem, like a video game. on top of that, you have to beat on the most difficult setting to play all of the "unique" levels. this is IMPOSIBLE to do with the marine. what this game needs is a really good add on, to save it from the pits of video game hell. if you want a good shooter, for the same price, buy half-life, game of the year edition; it comes with a free copy of team fortress, a game that alone blows avp out of the water.

Scary, difficult and loads of fun!

Alien VS Predator is the best "Alien" game released to date (I was actually fond of Alien Trilogy) and has a lot going for it. You can play as a marine, alien or predator. Playing as the Alien is the easiest and is pretty difficult to master as first. You will need to climb on walls, learn to pounce, and sneak up on your targets. As the Predator, you will need to use your fast arsenal of weapons, visions and invisibility features to win. The scariest and most fun character is the marine. You will need to collect weapons, health and watch your back at all times. You never know when an Alien is around the corner. And if you see or hear a face hugger, you better start shooting or run for your life. If one gets you, you WILL jump from your seat! The only drawbacks is that the save game feature is lame (if you download the patch, otherwise, there isn't a save game feature,) and the game will give you extra levels at the end, ONLY if you beat the game at a higher difficulty. Other than that, if you like the Alien movies, get this! I give this title a B+.

A Classic In Its Own Right

Ever since the movie Predator 2 came out.And the Alien head appeared in the Predator trophy room on his ship.Everybody thought of how cool it would be to see those two franchises collide.And so it happened.First in the comic books of AVP and then in Atari as a video game.So it was about time for the two scariest aliens ever to a appear on film for them to be on PC.

This a first person shooter game.You have the choice of playing Alien,Predator or Human.Each character has about 6 Levels & some bonus levels get unlocked when you finsh the levels with a certain difficulty.Alien levels are the easiest because of his speed & agility.The Predator is the most technologically advanced.And the Marine levels are the hardest were the lowest on the food chain.There also multiplayer to play online with friends.And there number of areas to choice from.

In most of the levels the areas and situations will resemble situations from the films.Also there are number of choice of weapons for Predator & the Marine.But for the Alien only claws,tail and teeth.The game is pretty easy to play.The controls are easy so you will get the hand of it.The game is scary in some sections when the Aliens jump ouf nowhere at start wounding.Also the music adds to suspence and rythm to the game.

The only thing i could say that this game is missing is a plot.There is no real story.Each level give you little things.Like while youre playing it will tell you something like save the hive or destroy this.Very simple.
The graphics are pretty good for the time that game came out.Truth is looks pretty good for the test of time.So is the sound that is 3D sound.

I enjoyed every second of this game.Its cool & creepy game.A must for Alien & Predator fans.

I only need to know one thing, where...they...are!

This game is relentless! Its sound effects, graphics, and atmosphere are a real treat for ALIENS and PREDATOR fans. Another great feature is disc 2, which is a collection of great game music. But you know whats even better than that? Well heres a little trick I came up with; instead, try putting the actual soundtrack to the ALIENS movie in first! For die hard fans, this is as close to being on LV426 as you'll get (without actualy hitching a ride on the Sulaco).

Great Game

This game is great. It only gets 4 stars because of its limited multiplayer and single plyer levels. The game itself is probably one of the best ever. The fact that you can choose from three different species sets it apart form other FPS games. The gameplay is amazing and difficult.

I ain't got time to bleed!

Alien vs Predator is one of the scariest games I ever played. The game gots great graphics and and awsome sound effects. You can hear your Marines scream with fear when you play as the Predator and snipping with the Predator is fun. With the Alien you can cut Marines into up to 5parts and chop heads off. The Marine is awsome to! You can use Smartguns and Pulse Rifles. Overall the game is fun and scary. The downside is the game is way to short, but for $20 at Amazon what else more do you want. I really recommend this game to anyone who likes first person shotter.

Too hard on Directors Cut!!!!!!

This game is one of my favorite games to play. My favorite character is of course the Predator. The only draw back that irritates the hell out of me is playing Predator in Directors Cut!!! I'm still on level 3 and cannot pass it with the Predator. Why do they have to make it so damn hard. It pisses me off. How can one Predator take out six aliens at once? That's unrealistic which is why I gave this game four stars instead of five.

I personally do not like playing the Marine. He's boring to play in my opinion. The alien is pretty cool but I'm not an alien fan at all. I am HUGE Predator fan which is why I bought this game. I still love it. I just don't understand why they made this game so difficult in Directors Cut!

I'd recommend this game to all Predator and Alien fans. Just be warned when you play Directors Cut. I'd be surprised if you passed it. I haven't and probably won't.

Still I love it!!!!

Scariest hardest fps of all time...although good+cool!

I Bought this game long time ago back then it was pretty cool but the game has no story to it plus your only supposed to run from point A to B shooting any moving object you go by (except for the Alien he cuts his way through) that's the whole story.

But the plus side of the game i that you can play three differnt charectors each with there own special abilities. Plus look out for the place called Fury 161 that's where the story of Alien 3 takes place.

Overall a very good game but get Alien versus Predator 2. It's WAY better.
