I got tired of this game after playing it for ten minutes. It was just awful. The whole environment was uninspired and forced. Don't buy it! I urge you: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! IT IS NO FUN AT ALL!

Amazing

This game rocks. Even if u dont have a great connection to the internet at high speeds u can still play the amazing single player, three times over AND to tell the truth, when the beta MP 1st came out i was on DSL playing w/
a 300 ping and it still rocked, so u should get this game either way. But one note, play the single before u play multi, it helps alot. =)

Great graphics , sound and gameplay. Buggy multiplayer? I don't care. Where I live , majority of the people only play multiplayer games at cyber-cafe's.

Great. Satisfying. Dark. SHORT!!

I never played AVP, too much bad press, and I didn't really care when I found out this was coming out.

My mind has been changed. Monolith is really turning into a great house. All the praise that has been heaped on this game is due, so I'll harp on the weaknesses.

Too Damn Short! This is essentially a multiplayer game with three training missions. Highly entertaining missions, but very very very very short. Thought Max Payne was short? By the time you're breaking into the mansion in MP, you're done with AVP2.

No Risks. I think this game sticks too closely to what has been laid out in the movies. The plot, while entertaining, was just a re-hash of A4 with an added Predator hunt. There's so much room for creativity in this universe I'm a little peeved that Monolith (who did an amazing job with NOLF) didn't take advantage of it (unless Fox kept a clamp on what was going on).

Balance. The predator is absolutely unstoppable. It's fun to play and there are certainly ways to get killed, but compared to the other 2 he's a juggernaut.

These translate into minor points and don't impact playability so I don't want to give the impression that I think there's anything wrong with the game. For the most part, there just isn't enough.

How about a sizable add-on pack Monolith?

Hmm... ok

Demo:
After playing the Marine Demo, I see that Sierra has tried to follow Fox Interactive's initiative with a sequel to the game. The alien, the predator, and the marine are all there, with MORE. But when they added more they also took away. In AvP, when you were one of the species, the other species looked like they were made of similar graphics. In sierra's version, the marine was in full detail, complete with hacker's tool and shoulder lamp (which I like), but the aliens were weird little moving things and not as good as the original AvP, where the Alien looked like it was out of the movie. This game is from the creators of half-life and all those, so go figure.

Update:
Full Game:

But, it is a fun game, and long game-play due viewing the different storylines of 3 different playable species.

The Predator: most fun of the 3 species to play, plenty of weapons, can jump really high (just like the movie, this was missing in Fox's version). Definitely gooood fun getting trophies, etc.

Alien: very fast gameplay, and a lot of sneaking around and weird camera angles due to climbing all over the walls.

Marine: very fun due to the weapons and tools and trying to help your buddies.

The game saves as you go along, but you can also save whenever you want. (Kinda helps if there are facehuggers around).
A def. positive of this game is the facehuggers don't spook the hell out of you by disappearing then wrapping around the monitor screen like in Fox's version. In this one you'll see/hear it leap towards your face.

Definitely try this game out if you're an AvP fan. It stays true to the series/movies. Also try Primal Hunt for some more fun, it's a Mission Pack add-on that gives 3 more angles to the story. (Mercenary, Ancient Predator, Pred-Alien)

I DARE YOU

I dare you to play this game alone and in the dark at night. This might help you appreciate this game: My friend told me about this game and he did not get to finish the demo. He told me how scary and intense it was. I asked him how many aliens he has seen and he told me, "none yet." He said that it was that intense. The graphics have been attacked but they look great to me. Like you can REALLY tell if it is good/great; this room is dark, that room is dark, hey look a dark room. I can't wait to play the full version!

After reading so many good reviews of this game I went out and bought it. It is possible that my review is biased in that I only played the game for 2 days but frankly it just isn't enjoyable enough to make me want to play more. There are many interesting ideas included here and it had great potential which was lost in the actual game play and level design. The interface although fairly intuitive leaves somthing to be desired. The level design is fairly standard fare for FPS games, the usual save often instead of use your head ... I can not say if the multi-player was well done becouse I have already moved on to another title. People who are great fans of FPS games will probably enjoy it regardless of its flaws. But for the rest of us aside from a few graphic improvments and some cool licenceing concepts you might as well just blow the dust off your old copy of doom, and re install it ...

Ok, AVP2 is very violent. However, for those aliens fans (like me) or predator fans, or u just LOVE 1st person shooter games with lots of gore and flying bodyparts and chomping ur way out of a belly of a Wayland Yutani worker, this game is for u!

too easy to cheat

The game itself is very good. But the multiplayer version has two major drawbacks.
1- the game server is abysmally slow such that the game does not play in anything like real time.
2- there are far too many people who install game mods to make
their characters faster and invincible. If you don't care to learn the programming necessary to install mods, you are just
cannon fodder in multiplayer.
