I'ts a pretty good game but its not as good as you think when I first got it I was dissapointed but I got used to the aliens poping up out of no where and the difficulty without the book. It turned out to be a good game all in all but if you like games like RAINBOW SIX ROGUE SPEAR or SOLDIER OF FORTUNE stick with them From Now On I Will!

Not as good as the second game.

Not to put to fine of a point on it, but this game is below the standard compared to the second game. As a Predator, you have many weapons right when you begin, but in the second game, you have more of a challenge by having to collect your weapons as you go along. But still, being a Predator is the most fun out of the tree. As an Alien, you are openly vulnerable and can be killed easily. Your vision to "track Predators" is a complete drag 'cause you can't see at all, and you start off as a drone, where's the Face-Hugger, or the Chestburster? Let's move on to Marine. Newbies to this game might think that the Marine is some kind of Alien, but it's not, Marine is soldier, Colonial Marine is the full name. Being a Marine is probably the suckiest out of the three, you're even more vulnerable than Aliens because you can't gain energy from your assaults on enemies, and your infa-red mode is designed just as poorly as the Predator's cloaking. This game got two stars because when your an Alien or a Predator it's fun to stalk your victims. I don't really recommend wasting your money on poorly designed garbage such as this, buy Aliens vs. Predator II, buy something that's worth the money.

Brilliantly conceived, but too difficult

The Marine levels contain the most terrifying experiences I've ever experienced in an FPS game. Unfortunately, there is no warm-up to get used to the movement and weaponry - you have to be skillful from the start or die, even on the lowest difficulty setting. It's especially frustrating to try to figure out how to be sparing with your ammo as you advance through the level - since the Aliens respawn in random locations, you can't dawdle long enough to figure out the level. So you have to know the level already to get through it. Even with a walk-through guide (I was COMPLETELY lost before I found one), it's too hard to figure out.

The Predator is a little easier, but he has so much equipment - various vision modes, weapons, a cloak, and more - that it takes a long time to learn to use effectively.

The Alien is the hardest to control (especially since you have to hold down the Crouch key the whole time you cling to a wall or ceiling), but his missions are what finally sucked me into the game. It requires subtlety and finesse, but it's extremely fun when you learn to stalk your victims and drain their life force. Also, while the storyline is minimal, it's clear that the Aliens have a legitimate beef with the humans - which elevates the appeal of the role beyond mere cruelty.

Drawbacks are many - all three characters are WAY too hard to learn to play well, which makes the limited game-saving all the more frustrating. Along the same lines, the cheat codes are so limited and improperly integrated into the program that they're virtually unusable. It's as if the programmers want to stand over our shoulders and "tsk" at us for playing the game the "wrong" way. If it's not "fair" to save your game too often, isn't that MY call, as the player, to make?

Finally, the engine is clunky and the animation choppy - especially that of the alien's attacks from the alien's perspective.

They fixed these and other problems with AvP2, which I haven't picked up yet - I'll try to master this one first. I gave this game a full 4 stars because even with all these problems, the game is still one of the most compelling I've ever played. I'm already in love with playing the Alien, even though I haven't mastered it at the Training level. The majority of players will probably prefer the Predator. But that's the beauty of it - out of the three roles, at least one of them will probably win your heart if you love heart-pounding action...

Yumm Yumm ...

Yes, the AI is linear - but that's okay. Learn how to use the Alien special 'weapon' - the retractable mouth - and munch away on cowering tech's. Yep - at first it's a bit creepy, but after a bit, it gets to be fun.

Not a game for youngsters - you really do have to enjoy getting 'wet' to enjoy.

Not as simplistic as Unreal Tournament - too bad there is not a multiplayer feature.

This game is awsome couse of the many details in the game, but the game itself is even better. I got the game once put the cd was destroyed and my computer was deleted(couse of an unknown reason) and i missed it ever sence. well let get to the game, you have three species to choose, as a marine it is the most terrifying, once i was in a alien hive and i could hear my heartbeat(in the game) and then an alien came in i got a chock, i sat with one of my friends and was laufing at me.

Well as an alien you only have your basic material(teeth, tale and mauth) it a little easier than a marine. The fun thing is if there is an innocent then you can take a head bite.

And the most borring thing the predator, but it is still fun to destroy the little human being.

great game

Well there is not much to say about this game except the following... ITS A GOOD GAME.but it doesnt work with most pcs I here but I must of got lucky. overal this is a hard game (I beat it with alien easy)but the only reason I played a the alien insted of the predator or marine is my HUGE phobia of face huggers. so I played as the predator through the 2nd level and stopped when it said on the movie"XENOMORPH SPECIMENS ON THE LOOSE". thats right I stopped because of face huggers.But because of common knowlage
I know that there are aliens in the first level so there is a huge posibility of face huggers.but wait if you dont play as the marine you have the danger of turrets(when you turn in a corridor and something shoots you and your instantly dead)but thankfully you can hear them but the face hugger sounds is very creepy(constant tapping but you do not know where it is)
but hey forget about that. I will let you in on a secret.
when playing as predator on REALISTIC MODE A(as in one)cheat

1.turn on cloaking(period)and crouch(ctrl) and just walk up to enemys while still crouching and cloaked just charge up wrist blades (R mouse/hold to charge up,release when attack is desired
and frag(kill) them and pickup energys when Field charge is low.Most FAQs say to use shoulder cannon.WRONGE.Shoulder cannon(plasma caster) almost always misses because humans a slow moving and the predator always underestimates the humans.
2.when you come up to a guy on a ledge useing a grenade launcher backup and switch to spear gun( [ ) move back up and zoom in(Page up) and peg'em in the head.Make sure you hit him the first time or you will have to start over.3.switch to medicomp and use it. Equip the wristblades.jump to the ledge on the left.
proceed to the end of that ledge then jump to the one on the right.get the energy recharge and jump down.4.repeat #1.
5. do #1 till you come across an elevator next to a waterfall
turn of cloaking and stop crouching.just attack the guy up there and open the door.if you did all of these steps correctly you got
shotgun speargun(pigsticking)access cheats by going to main menu and right above exit should be cheat options

note this cheat is only for levels you have beaten NORMALY.This is of you cheaters out there who try to find the easy way.
bye the way say yes to if this review was helpful

Scariest game ever

AvP is a great game. When I first played it, I had to stop playing it late at night---it made it too hard to sleep. This game still gives me nightmares if I play it before bed.

Three FPS games in one, each requiring different skills to survive. As you fight your way through the levels, you come across different creatures---the alien drones, the alien pretorians, the alien queen, the predalien, (an alien/predator cross,) and the xenoborg.

I do have some quibbles, though. For some reason the frame rates get worse the longer I play. I have to reboot to correct this. I don't have this problem with Quake. Also, sometimes walls aren't as solid as they appear---Aliens can sometimes attack you through walls, or fall through walls when you kill them. Sometimes you can clear a room, leave it, come back, and the aliens have magically reappeared. Not exactly fair, but in line with the way they seemed to come from nowhere in the movies.

fun game

It's not one of my favorites, but I did enjoy playing it. It's certainly worth the money you'd spend.

Aliens versus Predator is an okay game. Not the best. Not the worst. If you love Aliens [like me] buy it. If you love sci-fi, buy it. If you love FPS, buy it. If you just like shooting things, buy it. If you aren't one of the four above, I wouldn't buy it.
