System Req's: DON'T BELIEVE THE BOX!!

1 Rating: 1, Useful: 18 / 28

While the Amazon.com product description vaguely states that this program runs on the "Mac OS," the box is slightly more descriptive saying you need at least a 233 Mhz G3 processor and Mac OS 8.6 or later with at least 64 MB ram OR System 10.0.4 or later with at least 128 MB ram.

THEN - if you open the box and READ the manual - you discover that you ALSO need a high-end 3D video card of a PARTICULAR MANUFACTURER! (Not just any 3D graphics card!) Bottom line - I bought it and it doesnt work and Amazon (...) got the system requirements wrong.

CAVEAT EMPTOR!

AvP is incredible

I've played countless games of all types - from first person shooters to world building, real-time strategy to casino. You name it, I've played it.

I've enjoyed most of them, detested some, and left a few mediocre ones on the hard drive for a week or two.

I'll tell you what - AvP is one of the most immersive games I've ever played. EVER. And that's the straight dope.

Never before has a video game actually made me jump in my seat - and it does this consistently! Not some little jump of surprise, but one of almost real fear and terror.

I'm addicted. Can't wait for OS X multiplayer!

the best game EVER

Great graphics
3 games in one

Hefty system requirements

You may think that FPS (first person shooters) can't possibly be scary. This game takes that and all other comments against the fear a game can create, and lets an Alien tear it to shreads. When I say that this game is freaky, I dont fool around. For the three species you play, (human-marine, Xenomorph-Alien and the ever scary Preadator), you feel the fear that is incorporated with the fool you play. As a marine, you tangle with cloaked Preds (preadator) and Aliens poping out of nowhere. As an alien, you try to survive a downpour of bullets and are only rewarded with a very hard to kill Pred. And as the overspecalized hunter, you find that aliens are on you in a split second and marines can riddle your carcase with lead faster than that. The biggest frea factor is that all the enemies are places and apear randomly with very fiew exeptions. The only problem is that there are no times where you are with others in a group. As the marine, you are alone with no other help from other marines. And like the marine, an Alien is in the center of it's hive with not even a facehugger to keep you company. (BTW, preds always hunt alone ;p ) Take that away and you get a fun (but scary) game that would recive a full complement of stars. Happy Hunting ;p

AvP - Oh Yeah!!

I had AvP Mac pre-ordered for several months, and when it finally arrived, it was worth the long, long wait.

This game simply rocks. The gameplay is intense. And I mean intense. At times, you feel like you're actually in the Aliens/Predator movies because of the convincing soundtrack & excellent game engine design.

Game is OK

I thoght that this game was going to be great.One of the options i was really excited about was skirmish mode, but it turns out that you can only be a predator and marine instead of an alien. But I love the multiplayer mode. that is why this gets a three.

not so clear...

let me geuss you have seen the aliens, and predator movies but whonder if this game would peek your intrest will you may be disipointed some campains with a certion spices (predator) may be the only species and campaions youd be intresed in altought i'm a alien type of guy the cheap form of combat seem to make me happy. but this game my not intrest thought who like seeing enemy's hole and not in peices when shot. altought the outher spises whould be most intresting when in combat. but there is no such thing as being bored...

enjoy the graphic nature of extreme action...
