 Very good game - I'm surprised after all the poor reviews! February 19, 2010

Great Game!! 1 quick question though about the Multiplayer gaming: in the Ranked multiplayer, can anyone see the list of games available or do they simply get added to 1? I can see the list of games in the Friendly, but not the Ranked. Also, when the game finishes in Ranked, you do not stay with the same group of players. You get taken back back to the initial menu?
I bought this game today and I must say I think it's pretty good!!
I do like the Alien and Predator movies, so I was very excited about seeing this game. I have been playing the single player Marine for about 2 hours now and it is really fun and tense. The lighting in the game (or lack of!!) and atmosphere is excellent, just like in Alien/Aliens. Make sure you play this game in the dark, turn your lights off and it will make it even more fun....Trust me!!! The Marine's motion tracker definitely adds to all the excitement. As soon as you hear a blip, you know that something is round the corner......Great game, graphics are quite good but yeah they can be improved. But hey, I guess we have something to look forward to in the next AVP game?! I also heard that there was another Sega game coming out at some point called Aliens: Colonial Marines? Did anyone hear about this title?

Some people slate this game, but i don't think it is bad at all.
The atmosphere created is very effective, also the use of sound creates a spine chilling ambiance which is pulled straight out of the films.
Multiplayer is a blast, but i did not think much to survivor mode,the other modes are great fun tho.
I am looking forward to the DLC which should be coming out soon.
If you are a fan of the original Alien and Predator films then you will enjoy this game,it is a good game, some people are expecting something new and different, but this is A v P, we all know what it entails - do not let other poor reviews put you off buying this.
Fun but short February 19, 2010

I've finished all 3 campaigns on normal, and it was fun, no major problems with the game play, as far as the melee combat is concerned its done extremely well, compared to other games, there's also plenty of variety as you can play either an FPS as marines, pure melee as aliens and for a combination of both you play as a predator.
The story was OK, not ingenious just average but that doesn't really matter for me personally I was more concerned with the gameplay, which was awesome. the graphics are pretty good along with the physics especially when performing stealth kills. The levels were also good as a marine there were plenty of claustrophobic room levels and when you see the reading on your motion sensor the tension is unreal, scariest game I've played since Dead space.
Controls were pretty smooth, as the alien I was impressed because I thought they would be way worse than they are so well done rebellion or whoever.
the only problems I noticed in-game was as a marine when going from inside to outside the lighting is messed up but its such a minor problem that it doesn't even matter. the story is also much shorter than I thought, which is why it only got 4 stars and it looks like either there's a sequel, more DLC on the way or they just couldn't be asked at the end.
During the story there are plenty of hints at the old films which I liked especially from Aliens,just go to the second trophy down from trophy list and you'll know what I'm on about.
I also gave it 4 stars because there's no split-screen, that I know of for survivor mode which is ridiculous the game-play mode would so easily be a million times better with 4 people instead of one. everyone reading this has probably played the demo so I wont bother mentioning multi-player but as single-players concerned, nice controls, OK story, good graphics and the most stupid idea ever for a off-line game mode.
ITs GREAT .. FUN ... something fresh February 19, 2010

so the reviews have been mixed. which is quite annoying , as all the big reviewers either gave it a high score or medicore.
either way , after playing a decent 2 hours on the multiplayer, i have to say this game is very very fun. Fans of the franchise will love it , if your not a fan i suggest a rent. Its different from most fps put their which is good, as some are getting quite boring.
The graphics are good , not exellent, they can be improved. However design is great really cool looking maps even tho they could of added more . dlc i guess.
the multiplayer modes are great , infestation seems most popular and predator hunt. as soon as you play few games you will begin to get use to the controls , they dont take long.
Those who played the demo and didnt like it , should definetly try this as it is diffferent. multiplayer however does need some more dlc , and they can do a bit more to it , as it seems a bit old school , but it is very fun , ive been unable to put the controler down , and it seems MW2 will be out of the machine for some time.
The campaigns however are split in three, and some have said they are short and some have said they count about right. i have not completed them yet .
the fun however is in the trophy kills , remember the gore in this game is quite detailed and just like the movies it keeps the horrofic sci-fi like mood.
the atmoshphere is some of the best ive seen in a game, great sound effects , the mood has been set right .
The multiplayer maps are short like i mentioned, but some of them have very cool elements, ie the pyrimid map can suddenly change and you will find yourself trapped in a room for some secs. All adds to the intense and excitment that the game has.
now the reviews on this game have ranged from
9/10 opsm uk
ign 8.5
empire magazine 4/5
and then we have 5s from gamespot and gi
there are many more which all seem to contradict each other, ie some say the controls arent good, some say they are good.
The specie balancing ... i have found no problem with this , they all seem to be well balanced , its just a case of how good you are.
Each has their own strong point , like the alien has fast speed and agility , while the pred has strength and technology.
all i can hope for , is more maps for the multiplayer and some more MP extras, you get different skins which u unlock , but maybe they can add a bit more to it .
there is a lot they can do with this game , and genre. They obviously could of made it better, but it is rebellions first AVP on a nex gen , so hopefully they can sort theings out next time around.
apart from that i am very happy with this game . the fun factor espeically .
BUT it may not appeal to all so do check this one out.
AVP ..."game over man ....game over" February 19, 2010

AVP is here on consoles at last.... I for one couldnt wait, being a big fan of the franchise and old PC games I longed to play them on my nice next gen consoles... so here it is.... was it worth the wait?
MMMM thats hard to answer, the gamer in me screams no!! but the 80's child who always will love to play as a Predator or an Alien or with a Pulse Rifle says YES!
Ill start with positives, most important I am enjoying playing it very much, its very atmospheric the 3 campaigns entwine nicely, so you can start as a marine play first level, then choose the alien and see how the aliens escaped ect. Then when ur done that level go back to Marine or start Predator.
The sound effects are spot on, from the Pulse Rifles short controlled bursts to the weird Alien scream , it all adds to make you think ur in a Aliens or Pred movies.
The MP now works fine getting into games after just a few seconds, much better maps on show, the temple from the first AVP film is an interesting map. Lots of game modes, species DM is my fav so far.
The co-op survival mode is 4 player on line and is quite manic, think of the scene in Aliens where the marines first encounter the Aliens you are about there... "wheres the sarge"
Playing as the predator and, sitting in a tree in a jungle as a predator watching marines in thermo vision feels so cool ....."anytime"
Alien campaign is a brilliant stealth game with some rooms feeling a bit like Batman AA, sitting in the rafters wait for some poor marine to walk under the wrong vent.
Marine is a pretty good standard FPS, not amazing but has pulse rifles in it !!!
And if your a fan of the movies I think you will find it hard not to find enjoyment in AVP..
BUT......
It is far from perfect game and wont change any critics minds...
First big problem the graphics they are really bad, not enough to ruin the game for me, but some textures and models are truely awful. If your a graphics whore just dont go near AVP, its not PS2 quality graphics like some smart ar$e is bound to say, but there are much better looking games out there, shame cause PC AVP games at the time where beauties.
The MP i find great fun, but the insta kills with the alien are still very hit and miss.
The campaigns dont appear to be very big ive played for 2-3 hours, a bit of each of the 3 campaigns and have done 29 % of the game already.
In short AVP does very little new and there are much better FPS out there,................ but not with everyones favourite battling aliens in it.
With this in mind I love this game and really enjoying it and will def be a keeper, but its is certainly not to everyones taste.
There we go just thought I would share my feelings that are not based on MP demo. If you really hated the demo and could think of one good thing to say about it , then the finished game will not change ur mind.
I was torn between giving it 3 or 4 stars, the gamer in me says its bad graphis ect cant let me give it 4 stars but I am enjoying it more than a typical 3 star game.
BUT If you fancy a very atmospheric trip down the memory lane of two of the best sci films ever created then look no further !So to anyone on the fence about this I would give it a go they got the feel and atmos of the movies perfectly
hope this helps...
