Ok for everybody who is on the fence about giving this game a try
I'm going to make such a case for this game that anyone who reads
this review will atleast have to give this game a try and I'm going to do this in 6 steps.#1 the graphics:the graphics for this
game aren't ground breaking but they don't need to be.this games graphics are just fine you don't need to have mind blowing graphics just to make a game a blast to play.#2 the gameplay:The gameplay is very good the only problem I had was when I had 60 or
70 aliens fighting around 110 K10 aliens and even then I didn't get to much slowdown,if you want to see some slowdown try army men air attack on Ps1.#3 the plot: the plots not like movie depth
where you get a background about the background,but it dosen't need one it's plot is just fine the way it is.#4 the controls:the
controls aren't to hard but they are a bit challenging but when you spend a couple of hours on this game,the controls are just like MOH:RS.#5 the characters:the characters in this game are stunning they are very,very well done they vary from each species
as they should and there are three technology levels,1 the aliens
:are the most primitive species of the group,they kill with their
arms,tongues,tails and blood.2 the colonial marines: they are in the middle of the group between primitive and advanced.3 the predators: the most technologicaly advanced of the three,they kill with searing plasma and super sharp blades.#6 the overall:
this game overall is a great game fun to play,try getting all the breeds in one group.well that's all I've got to say about this game.

Grab some snacks...

I say get some snacks because this game can leave you grumbling and wanting something to chew on. The computer is all but relentless in its constant attacks and forces you to amass enough forces to bring them down. At first I thought AvP couldn't make it as a Strategy game but this fits the whole technology mapping from the movies and other games very well. You will be so caught up in finding what different units you can find and trying out their abilities that the missions objectives will slip by. Though logistics and unit maintance will start to drive you crazy, I still found this game to be a worthy addition to my collection. To those who are not sure, I suggest renting it before you buy it. This game is not for everybody.

best game but 1 flaw

In my opinion this is a very good stratagy game but with one flaw. I always play as an alien. What i dont get is if there are som many other enemy units in the game why you can not have more then 45 units. When you have 45 units the queen stops laying eggs. I mean what is with that, does the queen have some limit. i thought she wanted the hive to grow. how can that happen if you only have forty five aliens. i always end up with fifty or sixty hosts left over just sitting there fot the k-series aliens to steal. The graphics could also be better. They are a bit on the bland side. but other then that exellent game.

Best Strategy Game Ever

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

A GREAT GAME BUT...

This is a great RTS game for the PS2.
The graphics are great, the sound is great, and the game play is great. But for $40 I want more in a game(I rented the game). A two player would be really nice and online play would be a lot better. Or a skirmish mode.

You can play as either the Aliens, Predators, and the weak little humans.

Aliens:

I play as the Aliens most of the time because they are well rounded, and I like attacking in numbers (Predator is also very fun). You have the queen Alien to lay the eggs, and other Aliens (such as drones, warriors and runners) to attack and kill the enemy and if you want you order them to drag the bodies back to the eggs. When the egg knows there a body is there the egg will hatch a face hugger and you know what happens after that.
I max out the number of units that I can have and attack the enemy in numbers, or if you use the master cheat code you can track the enemy movements.

HINT: Find the master cheat code .... and use it, now track the enemy movements, when the enemy is coming for you move out swing around them, come from 6 O'clock, kill them all then drag thier bodies to the face huggers.

Predator:

Playing as the Predators is very fun. Instead of just killing for points, the Predators tear the skulls from their enemy for honor points. The Predators have the best units in the game (strongest in the game) but the most units you get is 24, that alright but just don't go into a battle claws slicing and laser blasters a blasting.
HINT: Use the master cheat code, now track your enemies movements, if they are coming for you move out, wait until they are alone and kill them one by one.

Marines.

I played through one mission and quit the next one, the Marines are easily taken out because they are weakest units in the game.

This game could have used a online play option, that would have been a real plus for this game.

Its going to take you a while to finish a mission, so its not for the fast paced - finish a game in five minutes kind of gamer.

For those of you who played on the PC but now are playing on the PS2, XBOX, or GB, you can't compare the control inerface of the PC with the one of a PS2 or any platform because a keyboard have 106 keys on it, a platform have 16, so its going to be hard to learn all the controls to RTS games. It's a real surprize that anyone makes RTS games for the platforms (PS2 ans so on).

PROS:
Great graphics
Great sound
Huge levels
Great A.I.
Very fun to play as Predator
Very fun to play as Alien

CONS:
No two player
No online play
Steep price for what you get
Playing as the marines is not very fun
Over 2MB to save a game
It needs a skirmish mode.

So to close this review I just need to say this game was almost perfect. If you are RTS fan the PS2 game "Conflict Zone" is a must buy!

As good as it gets...

First off I'd like to say the AI really is not that bad if you keep half an eye on your troop movement. Yes units do take unexpected turns and do some stupid things but I think all the criticism about the AI is overdone.

Second, what the heck do you expect from a RTS console game? Common folks, get real. There is no way a console RTS can EVER come close to a PC RTS (i.e. "Conflict Zone") so lets be realistic in our expectations of this game. To judge it by PC standards simply is not realistic or fair. If your angry that it doesnt mesure up to PC standards than you must be a.) a fool b.) a novice that has never played "RTS" games on console units before.

I beleive 'Extinction' accomplishes what it sets out to perform and does so very nicely. The game play is solid and addictive. There is a great deal of diversity in units and weaponry. The graphics are very nice (background graphics as rather bland though) and the sound is excellent.

I was disappointed that there is only the campagin game option available. I was hoping for online play or at least a "skirmish" setting.

...if you like the AvP genre you'll like this game!

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.

The alien war.

I am a big fan of the Alien movies, (...). I did
not play the two earlier M rated computer games, so I don't know if they are better. This one is cool because you can be aliens, predators, or humans(I don't think that should have been in the game because it's so point less). This can be hard at times but still very fun. Any fan of the movies would enjoy this game.

Extinction is not exitinct

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
