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.

Great job at capturing the movie atmosphere

The game has done a great job at capturing the overall atmosphere of the Alien and also the Predator movies. The weapons are the same as seen on TV, heck, even the sound effects are the same. Play the game as the marine, alien or predator. Great plot, great action, great game.
The marine's smartgun is reason in itself to buy this title. Simply delicious.

Look man...I only need to know one thing....where..they..are

This game is really fun and is filled with challenges and areas. You can be walking around and an alien pops in front of you. Its hard in a lot of ways. Your in an area with 2000 bullets. Sounds easy. In 5 mins your out of amo with 20 aliens dead and about 60 more ready to kill. I suggest you play the mini games at first to get the hang of the controles. Then begin to fight for your life. When you play it is really dark. So put on different visions to get a better look around. The Predator is really hard for me. I killed about 5 people before I died. I tried to get some cheats but tthey were fake. The alien is kinda stupid because he goes so fast you would run strait past the enimes.(humans and predators) The game is more alien than Predator. But fans of Predator will find the game good for the fact you could be it.

Lacks a story But fun Fps

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.

"I love it!"

Aliens vs. Predator is the 2nd coolest game I have ever played! It's graphics are very good, it does not stall like some games, and the sounds are so realistic!

Alien (4/5 stars) As an alien, you have no weapons expcept your claws, tail, and headbiting jaw inside your mouth. The alien is extremely vulnerable, but is faster than the human or Predator. The alien is the second most fun character out of the three to portray.

Marine (2/5 stars) As a Marine/soldier, you are the most vulnerable of the species, and you get a Pulse Rifle but hardly any ammo. And when you use up your rifle you have a combat knife! How the hell is someone supposed to take out a bunch of swarming aliens with a tiny little survival knife?!

Predator (5/5 stars) The Predator is the coolest one to be! You get a lot of great weapons, such as the Plasma Caster, Wristblades, Speargun, etc. You can take trophies (like in the movie) and you get assorted vision modes, Thermal, Infra-Red, Neg. Art, and normal. The Predator is really cool and this is the one you should try first!

Multi-Player (5/5 stars) Though everybody is playing Multi-Player with AvP2 now, it is still really cool on AvP1, and it is the only time I really even think about chosing to be a Colonial Marine. I always choose the Mini-Gun if I am a Marine. CO-OP is really hard, you make one step and hords of aliens come swarming at you (Mini-Gun gets the job done, though).

Overall (5/5 stars) This is a great game and I recommend to any Alien and Predator fan. But, I would recommend AvP2 a bit more than I would this one.

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

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!!!!

I'm scared, I need to be held!

This game is excellent, no doubt about it! The only thing is, it actually frays my nerves to be so realistically hunted by Aliens. I had a great time playing the Alien role, there's no better feeling than being the hunter, but I'm still drinking my Gummi Berry juice to get by on the other roles. Give it a try!

One of a finger-ful of first-person-shooters that actually tries something new, 'Aliens Vs Predator' is fantastic for as long as it lasts, which unfortunately isn't all that long. Splitting the game into Marine, Alien and Predator phases ensures great variety, but you feel that you're playing three short games instead of one long one. Still, it's worth the price for the Alien segments alone. Whilst the Marine stages are superior shoot-em-up action with an extremely scary atmosphere, and the Predator section seems oddly detatched (we never learn enough about the creature in the films to care much, although the execution of his multiple vision modes is superb), the Alien sections could be a game in themselves. Treating ceilings and walls as if they were floors, as the Alien you have to keep yourself hidden, and restrict your combat to quick darts from the shadows. The feeling of power, as you cling to a roof high above your blinded, blundering victim-to-be, is addictive, and soon you'll be disappointed that people don't scream in horror when you approach them in real life.

The graphics and sound are top-notch, both in their own right and as adaptations of existing material. The alien and human environments match those of the film, and the selection of weaponry intelligently expands on that presented in 'Aliens'. Best of all, there are lots of nice touches - the sound and music is sampled from the films, the Predator's vision modes switch with a familiar 'whack' noise, and you're encouraged to replay the game by an extensive series of bonus items, bestowed by achieving certain difficult goals. The short FMV sequences are top-notch, too.

A word of warning - it's extremely hard and very intense. The Marine spends most of his time running backwards from approaching aliens (and if you stand on a face-hugger, you will leap out of your skin), the Alien is vulnerable to bullets, and the Predator, whilst tough, is overcome by sheer weight of numbers. Unless you download a patch, you can't even save the game within a mission, something which is both admirably brave of the programmers and extremely intimidating.

All in all, it's two-thirds superior shoot-em-up and one-third genius, polished until it shines and pumped up with steroids.

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.
