I haven't played this game yet but it should have been made has a shooter version like AvP and Avp2 for pc. If fox interactive decides to make Avp3 they should be a shooter version and for both pc and Playstion 2.

I think that this game is a very good game. It has a whole lot of action in it and it is one of the best games ever to hit the stores. If you like strategy games and being a marine, Predator, or an Alien buy this game. Oh yeah buy it from www.amazon.com

This is a good game but they did not make a 2 player mode and the graphics are not the best. These are the only mistakes I can think of right now.

Good #1 attempt at a RTS game for the PS2

First off, don't compare this game to warcraft. If you do, you will see the flaws & won't like it as much. This game is good. There are 3 different races. Aliens, Predators, & marines. They each have 10 units & upgradable weapons. Each race has positives & negatives. IE. You can create 45 aliens, but because aliens don't have ranged attacks they can get slaughtered every easily. Strength in numbers couldn't be a truer statement. The humans are good, but if you lose you commtech (leader & mechanic) you will fail the mission. You must also keep your medic alive so he can heal the troops. The predators are the most powerfull & have the best gadgets. But they are small in numbers. You can only have 4 at a time. Weapons include, pulse rifles, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, exosuits, hand guns, Flame throwers & sentry guns.. Ofcourse these are the weapons for the marines.. The predators have stealth laser attacks & depending on what type of predator you use other attacks. IE disk master, spear master.

The best part of the game is having face huggers impregnating people & predators. Yes predtors. The hybrid Alien/predator looks cool & has attributes of both races. The environments are bland & drab looking. Alot look the same no matter what mission you are on. The sad thing is there isn't any FMV & cut screens even when you complete all 7 missions with a race. Each mission has a target time limit. If you pass all 21 missions. You get cheats for the code. Medals are awarded after a player finishes a mission before the target time limit expires. The game is challenging. It takes strategy to win.. But what makes this game tougher is the dumb AI. Sometimes a few characters stray from the pack & get killed by oncoming Aliens or Predators. This [stinks]. I wish the creators spent more time creating a good AI. The sound is fantastic!! Every sound effect in the game is taken from the actually films. This really adds realism to the game. The average gamer might not like this game, especially if they are looking for a great RTS game. But hardcore AVP fans will love this game..

First of all i dont think people should rate this game to warcraft. Extinction was the first try of a RTS on playstation2. And i think they did a pretty good job on their first RTS.
Its really cool to play with each of the three races and try to hunt down the others while trying to complete other objectives. A couple of things that i thought brought this game down was the graphics and the pretty bad AI. But all in all i think it is a must buy for avp fans and some RTS fans

This game is very flawed, but is tons of fun if you can be patient with the AI. There are plenty of different types of soldiers, and the three races are very diverse. 21 Missions total will probably be around a week, unless you play all day. Later missions usually take about an hour. Buy it at a local store, like GameStop or EB, beat it within the 7 days, return it. Voila!

Aliens Versus Predator Extinction

As a Predator fan, this game was highly disapointing. For one it was too short. It needed more missions and environments. For two in most games like this u are able to build some kind of a base and/or defense. The most u could do here was place a few mobile guns around. And that was only for the Preds and Marines. Third of all, it should not have been a strategy game, not for the PS2 console anyway. It should have been a third person game. Even if it was a first person it would have been somewhat more exciting. All in all I give it a 2 1/2 outa 5. And thats being generous.

A game that will bore you

Ok, let us get down to it. This is again another license game that takes what we come to know and love, expecting a game that delivers the true essence of aliens versus predator, and creates a game that is a cheap way of taking our money. Yes, I bought this game and now I regret ever handing the money over to the cashier.

Upon bringing the game home I played all three campaigns and spent three hours just telling a little person to walk and shoot. That is not an RTS!!! The game did not show any excitement or rush of innovation. Don't dive on this side of the game pool because it is on the shallow end.

I only played the first levels of predator and marine campaigns and soon was was put to sleep because I have A)played other RTS's similar or B)nothing to it.

The aliens was the only highlight to this game as it was interest to create your own hive but I was quick to find that it was nothing more than one level of fun. The rest of the levels reach a level of stupid and boring.

Rent this game only, unless you love any RTS or you can't get enough of the franchise.
