Although it takes some getting used to(especially as Alien), Aliens Vs Predator 2 is an excellent game, both for multiplayer Deathmatch goodness for for the campaigns. Each species fights differently: Marines:Go in with guns a'blazing; Aliens: fast paced melee attacks; Predator: stealthy hunter. Great game, buy it if you're a fan of FPSs or of the movies.
Great atmosphere, resource hog

I love the Alien movies, and so I was awaiting this game. I was surprised when it was slow even on my 1Ghz Mac. I emailed the company and they say they know the problem and will be issuing a patch. Let's hope that's soon.
I can't play this game while I'm alone in the dark. Seriously, it's got a great eerie atmosphere, even better than Half-Life. I'm enjoying the missions right now while I become accustomed to the controls, and I'm looking forward to the multiplayer gaming especially.
GREAT!!!

There is a problem with the last reviews about this game. First of all, the only way this game could play that slow is if they had a slow graphics card. I have 16mb video ram card and a 400mhz processor and it plays lightening fast, almost no loading time at all. And with the right card, you can have the details set on high, and have a fast game with no lag. I highly reccomend this game only if you have at least a 16mb video card and an average processor.
The game features a wide variety of weapons, species options, levels, plus multiplayer support. No sci-fi fan who like this kind of action game shouid pass it up.
Be Un-Warned: This game works great on G5 iMacs!

I'm sure that many people have already read the reviews for this game that say that it works so terribly on this or that Mac. But I'm here, as a sort of public service announcement, to say that with the new Macs, those concerns no longer apply. I had a rougher time with AVP1 Gold running on my Mac than this game! All that aside, this is an incredible game, one of the best FPS games ever created, and very addictive. I beat all three campaigns on Normal, and now I'm trying to beat them all on Hard. Huge difference!
That also being said, I have to mention that the multiplayer STILL doesn't work. As a matter of fact, it freezes up the game if you ever try to go to the multiplayer screen. And this is even with that (very old) patch from Macplay. Which can ONLY be found on their website, by the way. It's not even in Fileplanet! Despite the impossibility of playing multiplayer, I still give this five out of five stars because the game is challenging, loads of fun, scary, and you can really get into your species' state of mind. I can't even tell you how many times I was yelling at the screen when I was the Aliens, saying something like 'BITE HIS HEAD OFF!!!' It's a lot of fun. So buy it!!! It's worth it.
Available at MacPlay for $1.88

I just wanted to let folks know that this game is now (as of this date) available at MacPlay for $1.88. But be aware of the high shipping cost.
Doesn't work on Leopard!

This is a cool game, but if you've got Leopard, it won't work. Furthermore, MacPlay, if you contact them for support, will send you a lame auto-reply "Out of office" e-mail saying, "We are aware that there are issues regarding many titles not functioning correctly in the Leopard operating system. Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to provide support on any of our MacPlay titles." If that's not the lamest excuse I've ever heard...
On the bright side, Aliens vs. Predator 1 does work! Go figure...
DON'T EVEN BOTHER !

No support, the multiplayer locks in a spinning wheel as it searches for something not there. Macplay tricked people into thinking it would be fixed and just never bothered. Horrid consumer relations. Buy anything else but done waste a dime on this.
