AvP was a game that caught attention to every alien and predaotr fan tha game was a hit,people loved to play avp online.Now there is avp gold so whats the difrence well it depends on the buyer.

If you really enjoyed AVP reg versions online play this is a game to buy with new multiplayer maps 2 new weapons for the marine double pistols and a skeeter gun(fires out discs) for the marine,and some graphic enhancment.you can also use the new weapons on single player mode aswell and the newer levels can be played in skirmish mode.

BUT,this game does not appeal very well to the single player lovers yep same old avp folks just 2 new weapons to use in single player plus the new skirmish levels.but this game is very bloody not for weak stomatch's lol anyway its your choice.....

Scariests PC Moments ever - First Person Shooter Classic

This game is something to shout about! Let me rephrase that - These 3 games are something to shout about! Thats basically what you get. The different characters are varied enough to make this a highly original FPS which has features important enough to make it a landmark FPS. It may not be HalfLife or SS2 but its damnright up there with the best of them This must be the best Movie spinoff of all time. The games mirror the movies so much. From the sounds the Aliens and Predators make to the way the Predator uses his medikit. Every aspect of the movie is there. The marine levels are the scariest I have ever seen. Aliens appear from nowhere and with surround sound I guarantee you will jump in fright in no time.

The cut scenes are gorgeous and once you complete a game there are bonus levels. You have to complete the game on the hardest level to get all of them.

This game also saw the first use of limited game saving per level. This is great as you cant save your game every 5 seconds. This has been seen in later games since. You WILL replay bits and it is tough but at least you have to use your brain and skill a bit more.

The marine levels were my favourite followed by the predator. Each character has different attack modes and ways of moving. For instance, the predator can survive high jumps while the alien is the quickest and hardest to hit but takes most damage. Learnin these skills is a key to sucess. There are also nice touches like the predator being able to pull the heads off marines and aliens blood spraying at you.

The predator has the different vision modes while the Alien has the fish vision mode. While a marine it sometimes felt like Half Life, but its the closest you'll get to being in the movie. The guns make the same noise, theres the constant beep of the detector which speeds up as an Alien gets closer. It cant be faulted for realism.

The multiplayer aspect is super also as you get to fight a mixture of baddies. Theres a big online contingent of players out there. Afrer Quake3, Unreal Tournement and Team Fortress this probably comes next in the hierarchy.

The only fault is that there could have been more levels and maybe the storyline could have been a bit better (being picky). Still, this does not detract from a PC classic with gripping atmosphere and moments that will give you nightmares!

It is a great FPS even without the Movie License which should appeal to fans of both the movie and gaming genre.

I cannot say enough good things about this game. Especially in a time when FPS are 10 a penny. This has new elements like the save options, 3 game modes and vision modes that makes this a cut above most other FPS out there. This game has added to the FPS genre for sure. You can almost hear the cries of "Game over man, game over!". Go get it now!

Great Game

Alien vs. Predator Gold is a fantastic game, difficult, at times terrifying and completely addictive. There is also a great multi-player option that takes place in office cubicles. The scale is a bit off but the ability to blow up the computers on the desk along with the enemy is wonderful. Another great thing about the Gold addition is that it comes with the full manual.

pretty good

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!

An excellent game that's a little too hard...

until you get into it. When I first started playing, this game was so frustratingly impossible, but when you get used to it, it stops being impossible and starts being a challenge. This game definitely makes wonderful use of all the source materiel, giving us a wonderful cinematic-feeling experience. Now you can sympathize with what all those people were feeling in the Alien movies.

The Alien is probably the hardest to play as. Granted it moves really fast and can walk on walls, but no ranged weapons, and no medkit, leave you exceptionally vulnerable to the marines' rapid fire weaponry.

The Marine levels are also extremely difficult, because as soon as an alien gets under your arc of fire, you're good as dead. Fortunately, you get a full range of fun weapons.

But the easiest, if least fun, is the Predator. Exceptionally strong, with auto-aiming vision, sniper weapons, and auto-recharging ammo, this guy's levels are, at first, a lot easier than the other two.

Each of the characters has his own, linear, campaign, but these campaignes have nothing to do with each other. The multiplayer's lots of fun, the sounds are excellent, the graphics are high-res, and run well, even with all the features on, on a low end system. Plus, it takes less than 300 megs of HD space and it doesn't require the CD! The music, while not award-winning materiel, is moody, and the predator music recognizably borrows materiel from his movie theme, while the Marine and Alien music is similar to the Aliens action themes.

The enemies aren't incredibly diverse, but they're tough and they look cool, so that doesn't matter too much. And don't worry about the difficulty level...The gold edition comes with the strategy guide. Overall, this is a very fun and addictive, if very hard, game to add to your collection. Recommended.

As a former "Doom" games player, I have witnessed a great revolution in the graphic representations since then and that was just a few years ago. This game is very difficult needless to say, but you if like a challenge in your gaming pursuits this one is it. A lot more complex than some other "shooter" games, this game offers many levels of graphic details whether its the interior of facility or the outside of a spacestation, you are definitely not dissappointed with the attention to authenticity true to the movies from which this and previous versions were derived. HAPPY HUNTING....

Too Hard to Play Honestly

Challenging? No, Impossible is more like it! Just remember to download the cheat codes first before playing this game, you'll need them.

The graphics, sound and user interface are exceptional but those features are over-shadowed by the short amount of time players stay alive in the game. This is not really a serious gaming experience, its more of an exercise in futility. The only time you'll last longer than an alka-seltzer tablet in a glass of water is when you play as the Predator and even then your life span is not that long. The alien can't heal and the marine is the ultimate victim. The game settings should not be "Easy", "Medium" and "Hard"; they should be changed to "Slow Suicide", "Quick Death" and "Don't Bother Fighting Back".

What can i say about this game,it has really cool graphics,a good gameplay and a good atmosphere to it.the game has all the qualities of a good game except that it is a little too hard particularly with the alien,its still ok with the colonel and predator.to be honest i wouldnt suggest one buying this game if hes lookin for a good mission game but its for the ones who like hunting,killing all the way.the game in all is not for everyone to buy but only for the ones who like to hold the gun and be told kill everything that comes on the screen

SWEET GAME!!!!!!!

I played this game for about 6 months strait before i got bored with it. It has sweet movies and the graphics are just perfect if u have a good computer. For all u people with good video cards and fast computers this is the game u want. And like other people have said it takes time to be good....it took me about a month of playing on the internet which is the only way i play it and in that month i became a pro. The Aliens are cool because they can heal by eatting died bodys or eating a head of a dude WHEN HES ALIVE. The marine takes time because u have to find all the weopons and u need to find ammo and health when u need it, but they have the best fire power in the world. I love pred because they have a vision mode for every race so u can see your enemy all the easly. For all u people with time on your hands and love everything about aliens this is it dudes. Some of the bad things is that it takes 400 MB of room and well.....i cant think of anything bad really.Ohh well the controls are easy once u learn to use them..and if u dont like them u can change them to what ever u like. This game gave me 6 months of fun so i would go get it if i were u. :)))
