This is an overall excellent game, I have only the demo which contains one mission for each of the three species but I am planning on purchasing this game. I would recommend downloading the demo, to see if the game suits your tastes. The three species (Alien, Predator, Human) are all interesting and fun to play as. Playing as a Marine will definateley get your heart pounding and adrenaline going as well. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the Predator, as the introdction of the Energy Sieve and Medicomp renders you pratically invincible. The Alien is possibly the most fun species to play. Though the Wallcrawling technique takes some getting used to (a plus, the developers added arrows that indicate up and down, which is a step up from the first AvP which forced you to figure it out for your self). Overall, a worthy game and one that is worth buying, also make it a point to obtain patches to work some minimal bugs out.

Exemplary Shooter

If you've read any of my other reviews, you'd know that I'm an old fogey that pines for the good ol' days of first-person shooters. I "grew up" on a fattening diet of Wolfenstein 3D, Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, and Nitemare 3D. Upon adolescence, I was playing games like Quake II and the ultimate PC game, Unreal. Ever since my gaming childhood I've been looking for a way to relive those experiences with a more recent, technically advanced game.

Aliens Versus Predator II fulfills many of my hopes. It looks great and the developers obviously went out of their way to make good use of graphics cards. Many parts of the game are dark, and you need to use special equipment or abilities to see in the dark and to see particular enemies. For example, when you play as the predator you use a "normal" vision mode to see the details of the level you're on, a reddish vision mode to see aliens, and a bluish mode to see human marines. Not only do these modes look cool but they also enhance game play.

In addition to the predator, you also play as a marine or an alien. You have lots of fun as either one, and, like the predator, you experience unique abilities and limitations as each character. It all works very well, and all three characters you play let you see the same world and story from a unique perspective. Very well done!

Perhaps the best part of this game is the atmosphere. It does a good job of making you feel that you're on a spooky alien world, and danger is never far away. The AI is good, and it lends the impression that your enemies truly hate you. The levels are well designed allowing you to interact in a rather realistic way. Just be ready to be startled! I jumped quite a few times playing this game.

So why only four stars? It's because of the bugs. Most of the game is pretty stable, but I ran into a bug playing as the Marine in which I was unable to "hack" making it impossible to get some ammunition I needed. In another level I was unable to open a hatch as a result of a bug. Nevertheless, I got through these levels using cheat codes, so all was not lost.

Aliens Versus Predator II is a really cool, well designed game that takes you away, so to speak. It includes innovations that work very well and make the game fun to play. If you're a shooter fan--especially a fan of the science-fiction themed shooters--then give this game a try.

Well balanced game

Aliens versus Predator2 is a very good game,with very few flaws.
Predator fans mite wonder why the Predator is dulled,so it will be balanced.Still playing the Predator,Marine or Alien wil make you feel like a real Predator,Marine or Alien.All three species have unique,and deadly weapons.This game is great,it has three very interesting storylines,all unique.The graphics of this game are incredible.
This game is very well balanced,it is interesting,so it's worth buying.

The best computer game I've ever played!!!

This game is simply amazing, i don't know how I ever got along without it! It's a first person shooter game but unlike other games of the same genre, you can be the aliens and the predators, rather then just a human (which u can also play as)! The game is amazing with just its 1 player mode, but then you get great internet play as the icing on the cake!

The first player gameplay is superior to other games of this genre because of its suspensful atmosphere, well developed-interlocking storyplots, music always playing and a realistic damage ratio. Unlike other first person shooter games, you don't take 10 bullets to the head and keep going! Some people don't like this idea because if you're killed so easily, then you'll have to start the whole missionover again and again until you have the entire game memorized right? WRONG! Aliens vs Predator 2 allows you to save your gameplay at any given time! So all you have to do is save frequantly and if you die, you can load up ur saved game without doing over the mission. Of course you don't even have to do that if you don't want to, you can just use codes if you think you die to fast. Even if you get lost codes can help you, just clip through the level to get your berrings, you can even fly with the clipping mode in case your stuck in a pit or something!

But lets not forget what truly makes this game the best, its Aliens vs Predator! You get to be any one of the species each with their own special weapons and abilities.
-Marines have the largest arsinal of weapons, with the knife, the pistol, the shotgun, the pulse rifle, the grenade launcher (with 4 different types of mines), the flamer, the smartgun, the missile launcher, the minigun and the sniper rifle (most of these weapons have an alternate fire)! *Stop to catch breath* you also get the torch cutter, hacking device, flares, flood light, night vision, and the motion tracker! You can also fight in an exo suit (which have a flamer/laser gun and a mingun/missile launcher).
-Predators have the a weapons arsinal that is almost as big with creative foreign weapons including the wrist blades, the combistick spear, the pred pistol, the speargun, the shoulder cannon (with laser sight), the smart disk, the net gun and the pred mines (most of these weapons have an alternate fire aswell)! You can also heal yourself at any time with you medical kit, and replenish your energy at anytime with you energy shifter, you also have a predator hacker device, the ability to zoom in and out with your vision, 4 different vision modes that allow you to see all three species with ease, and of course the greatest ability of all, the ability to turn invisible! You can even collect skulls, this game leaves nothing out!
-Aliens (my personal favourite) do not need to collect weapons because they have their claw slash attack, poison tail whip, pounce, and head bite (which will give you health, as well as slashing the corpses). Aliens also have the advantage of seeing its enemies pheremones, so no one, not even predators can hide from you! Aliens also have a second night vision, they can climb on walls whenever you want to, and of course they are the only ones with the lifecycle! You can start as a facehugger and pounce apon the face of your enemy to implant them and then...you can burst out of your victims chest!!! Like I said, this game leaves nothing out!

The multiplayer is just as entertaining, so you'll continue to play this game even after you've gotten bored of the 1 player missions (I'm still not even bored of them). The multiplayer allows you to host your own server or join one that suits you, there are tons to choose from. The multiplayer allows you to choose from 4 different marine characters (who can start with different weapons if you choose), 4 different Corporate characters (another human side so its like your playing with 4 species), 4 different predator classes, and 4 different types of aliens (including the drone, the runner, the predalien, and the preatorian-each alien is slightly different). Humans can use exo suits and aliens can molt into queens if they kill enough people and you can turn lyfecycle on and off in deathmatch and team deathmatch. There are also multiplayer modes like evac, overrun, hunt and survivor. You can even change the damage ratio if you think the characters die to quickly or slowly. Don't worry too much about cheap kills, most of the servers boot people who kill cheaply just ask the server nicley if you think someone should be kicked from the server with your chat. You also have team chat, and can chat with a specific person. Most people get good at the multiplayer once they've gotten enough experience, you'll also get used to the slang gamers use and you get to meet and befriend with so many people from around the world. Many people also like to join clans and be part of a certain circle of friends. The multiplayer on Aliens vs Predator is amazing and is only topped by the multiplayer on Aliens vs Predator: Primal Hunt (the expansion pack)

If you haven't already, I advise you to buy this game as soon as you can if you are an alien or predator fan, or just a fan of shooting games. This game is deffinetly worth its price, but don't take my word for it, judge for yourself!

Althow the graphics are not the best in the world this game is one of the best fps games I have ever played. The single player campain has an exellint plot line that mixes for all three species. The multiplayer aspect of the game is the best part of the game. You are easialy able to make new friends and have a great time because there are only 30-100 people on at a time. The only downside to multiplayer in this game is the hackers. AVP2 is being overrunn with hackers intent on ruining peoples game. I give this game a 5 out of 5 because when you do find a server without hackers it is well worth it!

A much improved game rather than the original!

This game is a soggy dream come true for Aliens and Predator fans such as myself. And offers enough gameplay and variety for the standard Quake gunner who needs an action fix. The main thing that kept me liking this game was its story, which was cleverly thought out by monolith in the various cutscenes and readable files that were found. Even though I do wonder how this game fits into the Alien and Predator timelines, because mentioned in the last alien movie Perez said that Ripley wiped the alien species out. And to correct one of the editorial reviews, it was lv-426 that the derelict was found on, not lv-1201...

AWESOME!...

Aliens vs. Predator 2 is by far one of the best PC games ever made. If you liked Half-life and other first person shooters then you'll love this game. Gamers can play as the Marine, the Predator, or an Alien. I think it's most fun being a marine. There are tons of scary moments when you'll be walking around in the dark or in a tunnel and an alien will pop out of nowhere or off the ceiling, making you jump. As a marine you get the following weapons: combat knife, M4A4 pistol, shotgun, M-41A pulse rifle, M-56 smartgun, M-240 flamethrower, M-6B rocket launcher, M-92 grenade launcher, M-90 minigun, and a WY-102 sniper rifle. Many of the marine levels are similar to parts of the second Alien movie. As a predator you get the following weapons: wristblades, spear, plasma pistol, speargun, plasmacaster, disc, netgun, and remote bombs. As an alien, you start out as a facehugger, then a chestburster, then a full-size drone. You can headbite, claw, pounce, and use your tail. The best part about being an alien is wallwalking. One of the coolest things about this game is that you can beat it three times as a different character. All three stories fit in together perfectly also. After beating the game, you can play online. The bad thing about this game is that you need a really fast computer or else it lags a lot. Overall this is one of my favorite games.

Fun game to play

I was looking for something fun to play while games were in development so I picked up avp2 in the discount bin. This game is incredible. I played the marine mission because the feeling of being hunted far outweighed the interest to play a non-human species.

This is a fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping game. I can't even describe the fear [and thrill] of a single or dozen aliens charging straight at me. I often wondered if my neighbors could hear my screams because let me tell you, I screamed a lot.

The multi-player gaming will keep your interest for a long time. I find the marine to be boring during online gaming so I stick with the predalien unless I'm needed to balance the races.

I'm an avid fps gamer. This one won't disappoint you except for 1 thing: it should have been a longer a game. I also purchased the Primal Hunt expansion for more fun. This game was highly recommended for a very valid reason so just buy it and enjoy.
