If you've ever wanted to play as a predator or a alien than this is the game for you. There are 3 campaigns The marine, the alien, and the predator.The graphics aren't great but there ok. This game also has one of the best multiplayer. However people that use AIMBOTs or wall hacks can really ruin the experience which is why I usally only play with my friends

Overrated.

This game has a couple really innovative, interesting features, and big name franchise monsters. So it had a great start.
But the implementation was... horrendous.
Unlike most first person shooters, this game tends strongly towards one hit kills, both towards you and towards your opponents. This basically means that you will find yourself dying frequently until you can memorize exactly where the machine gunners, et cetera, are, and take them out quickly and more or less instantly before they retaliate. The gradual health decrease thing? Doesn't exist here. You make a mistake, you die. And very often, "mistakes" come in the form of not having luckily guessed which random passage is the one that leads behind the enemy, or having read a walkthrough first. In addition to bad design of combat, this is bad design of levels.
In fact, speaking of bad level design, I couldn't complete the very first Predator mission without consulting a walkthrough. How sad is that?
Climbing on walls and ceilings as an alien is incredibly fun... until you figure out how hard it is to pounce on something from a perspective that switches once you stop clinging to the wall or ceiling. Oh, and it's not so good for sneaking around, either, as humans in this game can look way up and don't seem to be fooled by shadows much.
In addition to all this, this FPS has the worst multiplayer I have ever seen. The Predator race is vastly more powerful than the other two, and the aliens in particular are practically cannon fodder against them, since the predators can see them clearly in one of their vision modes and blow them away long before they get close enough to pounce. Humans (real ones, unlike the AI ones) can't see quite as well, and have actual limited (as opposed to the effectively infinite Predator) ranged ammo, but no real advantages to make up for this. The aliens? They can, uh, climb walls and stuff. And it's really cool for you to do, really it is, but it's not gonna help you survive at all.
Even heat vision, wall-climbing, and a couple cool monsters aren't enough to keep this game from sucking very badly in the gameplay area compared to Half-Life or even Doom. If you want to experience the fun innovative features, try the demo. But don't buy the game, it's a waste of money.

This game was obviously rushed out to market. It is very buggy and there are numerous problems. Unfortunately, Sierra is doing a very poor job of providing technical support to those of us foolish enough to have purchased the game. I have been trading e-mails for nearly 2 weeks and we're no where near having this game running. It is not a matter of having an underpowered PC since I easily exceed the hefty system requirements.

I, for one, will be seeking a refund for this game. Avoid this game until a gold release comes out. It will be cheaper a appropriately patched by that time (I hope!).

gore galore

this game is once of the best first person shooters you will ever see. the graphics are excelent, the levels are filled with excitement, and the weopons are awesome! for the marine, the fulse rifle [as] a touch of automatic weapons and the napalm rifle dives you a small touch of melee. the alien is probably the worst of the character because this is all you do: slash, claw, headbite.....slash, claw, headbite..... slash, claw heabdite and so on and so on. Then you get to the predator, with its large amount of gadgets and gismos. the cloaking machine is very useful but it can drain you energy like a bug zapper. the vision modes are useful for sniping but while each one makes one character easier to see, the others become practically invisible, plus you need a helmet to use it. my one piece of adivice for you is that if you buy this game, steer clear of the combat knife when fighting an alien or your face will look like a chew toy.

A major improvement over the last!

I played the original and it was O.K. The graphics were good, but the game was VERY unstable, even with 1GB of memory, 2.0 Pentuim 4 and a Geforce 4 TI4600 video card the game would never run properly as an Alien or Marine. It was so laggy it was unplayable. The Predator worked good, but didn't feel like a Predator completly.

In this one the Predator has strenght to jump higher, the cloaking device fools Marines almost completly, where in the original game it only bought you a few seconds of surprise no matter what the distance. At a long distance in this game you are invisible to Marines under cloaking. And if you want to claw them to save ammo, they usually won't spot you until it's too late. Plus they say things, like "am I seeing things?" and "my eyes hurt". And your plasma cannon in this one seeks the target where in the first game it only did straight lines. And the alternate vision modes as in the first game, are simply cool! And to complete the feeling, the first thing you do in the game is jump through the trees, an experince sorely missed in the original game.

The Marine is fun too. Wandering through dark halls with the eary motion sensor sound, you hear screams around the corner and the cackling of a Predator but see nothing. You really feel like the prey as a Marine.

Haven't played as an Alien yet, but I will soon.

The best part of this game though...it has a story, something that was REALLY missing from the original.

That's some crazy stuff, yo!

Took me some time to figure out what a Hacker was was vs one's knife. I kept using a knife to get started. That part was not to clear nor explained well in the book that comes with. Now, that I know how to hack, and found a communicator with a code on it ( figure its for a door to open ), one has no way to put in a code to open anything. Now I'm in area outside as they lead you to a trap door, and only one door opens where I have no where to go, and cannot figure how to proceed. End of Game. Graphics are great. I played it on Win98 PC with the 128 minimum memory required. I was knocked out 4 times due to lack of resources. Hmm I went in with 85 % available. Guess I'm going to need another 128 K. It does come with Directx 8. That was a nice touch. Graphics are great. Haven't fought a thing cause I'm stuck. Trying to find a Strategy Guide to me. Hope Amazon has one as Best Buy didnt have any. I only gave it 2 Stars as I hate games where you just cant get started. Yuck. Maybe, if and when I get my XP back getting a new mother board as the Read Me file indicate that no reports have come in saying there was problems., I can load it there and try out the Lan option. Hmmm. we'll see.
