Oh-My-God
As a large fan of the original Aliens Versus Predator, I was naturally excited when i heard about the sequal. And, i must say, that when i first played the Single Player Demo (in which you play as a Colonial marine), i was slightly dissappointed. The Aliens looked wrong, the game played like a slide-show...it really annoyed me that a sequal with such high potential should be such a let down...But since playing the much more recently released MultiPlayer Demo, and then the final game, i must say, all that apprehension has gone, and has been replaced by a feeling of love...love for this game. The Aliens now look much better, the animations are superb, the game is much quicker and plays fine on my computer.And, the best part...i finally know what it is like to play a Predator and an Alien in AvP2.Both of these species have been given their full due attention, with clearly a lot of thought been put into keeping them consistant with the movies. The Predator has his cloak,...

Alien Versus Predator 2 (AVP2)
I had played the first one as well. Although AVP was a good game. It had no story what so ever and the gameplay is basically just running from point A to Point B.This game fixed all of that. It has a good story to it.The setting takes place in a Planet called LV-1201. Where "the Company" is doing research on alien Xenomorphs. But when an egg hatches in an unsecure location and impreginates an officer (who later dies during the embryo's birth). Everything goes out of control.The Graphics are astounding as always. But the sound has greatly improved. It sounds almost like the movies. The game play has also went up as well. The drawback however is that the game is short. Plus you should have a Pentium 3 at 700 Mhg+ and 256MB RAM+ for a smooth performance.Like the previous game you get to play the 3 charactors.THe Predator who has all the high tech gadgets from the plasma Shoulder cannon to the "Disc". He comes to the planet just to hunt. But when his...

Product Description
Go to the Planet LV1201, where three diverse and bloodthirsty species battle for survival. The action is heart-stopping. You can choose to play as Alien, Predator, or Marine as you use your physical prowess, killer instincts, or superior firepower to stay alive. Top to learn more
The Alien and the Predator are two of filmdom's most beloved and feared creations, and fans have been clamoring for a matchup between the two species for years. Their dreams were teased by a brief shot of an alien skull in the Predator's trophy room in Predator 2, indulged by several uneven pairings in comic books, and finally fulfilled in Rebellion's underrated Aliens Versus Predator video game. Fox Interactive, teamed this time with developer Monolith, delights these fans again with Aliens Versus Predator 2, and the result is easily one of the most intense 3-D shooters ever released.
Like in the first game, there are three distinct campaigns. One lets you play as the Predator, another as an Alien, and a third as the overconfident humans they prey upon. This time out the stories are much more detailed, even crossing over in interesting ways. The plot concerns some arrogant human scientists, a group of heroic marines, a rogue Predator, and the faceless Alien horde found on LV-1201 (the planet from the first two Alien films).
As a human, you play a fearless roughneck sent to check things out and perform missions. This generally involves rescuing fellow marines, recon work, restoring power to various systems, and trying to stay alive against fast-moving killing machines with acid for blood and nasty dispositions. You're armed with the incredible pulse rifle from the films, other weapons such as a knife and a smart gun (which automatically locks onto targets for you), a tension-inducing motion tracker, and a shoulder-mounted flashlight that casts eerie shadows. The Predator is armed with his shoulder cannon, cloaking device, spear, and his famous wrist claws.
The Alien campaign is the most interesting as it first casts you as the spiderlike face hugger. You've got to roam the corridors looking for a solitary victim. Once you implant a human, you play the small and snakelike chest-burster, seeking out rodents and other tiny prey so you can quickly molt and grow into a full-fledged alien. Then all hell breaks loose as the humans become your prey. You can claw, perform a head bite (which restores health), and execute a fearsome pounce attack that literally explodes the target. Aliens can also cling and climb on walls, which takes some getting used to, but the effect is exhilarating, as is the hunt.
The graphics are evocative of the films and feature strobe lights, flashing reds and whites, ample darkness, abandoned barricades, sputtering ruined equipment, and horrific scenes of carnage. The music rises and falls with the drama and draws heavily from the Alien films in particular. And the game is relentlessly creepy, whether or not you are the hunter or hunted. The audio is equally effective, from screaming humans to screeching alien attackers to the familiar Predator purring chuckle. The game is also filled with often amusing conversations between guards, marines, and scientists.
The three campaigns offer 21 missions, but the wide range of multiplayer game modes deserve special mention. The game has legs, no matter which species you prefer, and already a community has sprung up for challenges between gamers. Unfortunately, the Net code is a bit buggy: be sure to download the latest patch.
Monolith has created a much better game than the previous installment, mainly by pumping up the atmosphere, refining the controls, and making sure the three stories combine into a greater tale of horror and survival. Oh, and most importantly to some, the game lets you save whenever you want. Just remember this when playing the game--on the Internet, no one can hear you scream, but your neighbors can. --Bob Andrews
Pros:
- Superb atmosphere that evokes the best of the movies
- Excellent graphics and single-player gaming
- You need the marines to do a bug hunt in the multiplayer code
Aliens Versus Predator 2, sequel to one of the most frightening games ever made, takes you to Planet LV1201, where three of the most dangerous and bloodthirsty species in the galaxy battle for survival. The story-driven plot weaves together the fates of all three species. The action is as intense as the blockbuster films on which the game is based. Choose to play as Alien, Predator, or Marine, and use your physical prowess, killer instincts, or superior firepower to stay alive. Top to learn more
Get this game (if your computer can handle it).
This game is a vast improvement over the flawed original. For one, the graphics are much better, though not as good as some of the newer games out there. Still, they aren't bad and the atmosphere in the game is wonderful. Where the original felt more like a run-of-the mill shooter wherein the player mowed down hordes of Aliens (or humans, if you played as the Alien or Predator), this one still has you facing hordes of enemies but does a much better job of emulating the movies' creepy feel. As an example, the first level in the marine campaign has absolutely no enemies in it but it is, IMO, one of the best levels in the single player game. Though there are no foes, scripted events abound as you, cut off from your team, try to make your way back to them. As you go along you'll bump into a few survivors and, before you can do anything, see them slain by the Predator (with suitably tantalizing glimpses of the cloaked predator). You'll find evidence of the Aliens' and Predators'...
