    Not ground breaking but very well done with some very good decisions made throughout. Lack of in game GAMMA control really spoils the experience though.

    Awesomely awesome!! Even after years of playing this game i still talk about it today. The terror of being a marine, whilst the cool midst of the predator action. Crawling along any wall possible with an Alien, makes this game a true work of art. Playing this alone at night draws you into the world of a marine, and its gotta be one of the most intense and scary FPS' to date.

    My favorite PC game. The graphics, gameplay, sound, and pretty much everything is great. Yeah, there are such things as half life, max payne, counter strike...but I love this game nonetheless.

    OK, I just got the game 10 days ago. It's 2004 and it owns Halo. In every way.

    I'm blasted away. As a long-time FPS player ( since I was four ), I have never been scared/shocked/pleased in my life with a FPS game such as this one. Oh sure, FEAR packs its own shot of adrenaline and paranormal activity. But being an Alien series fan, I just can't help but gawk at how great this game is. I haven't done playing it yet and I will most likely finish it tonight, seeing as I've finished the Alien campaign and am halfway through the Preds. But so far... Cancel the dumb A.I and cancel the somewhat longetivity made from searching the next place to go... And you have this game. It's a blast, it's scary and it's fun. The "scary" part only goes when you're a human, of course. Preds are dominators and Aliens are frigging cheetahs after whatever four-legged creature there is in the savanah. Expand

    Advanced 3D graphics, darkness, cool levels, in short, everything a shooter, horror and especially AvP fan would want. Besides, playing with the marine is considerably easier than in the other version. BUY IT!!!

    This game is sweet. The only limitation is that you need decent HW/internet connection to play (hey, nobody's perfect!). Otherwise, i've played this game more than any other to date. More entertaining than QuakeIIIArena, Half Life, etc..JKII is pretty sweet too :)

    An intriguing plot, haunting sound effects, brutal gameplay and explosive arsenal should be enough to draw you into one of the greatest game of the franchise, if you can forgive the aging graphics.

    This game is one of the old gems that never really caught a massive following, likely due to the fact that it was based off some movie franchises and a lot of people (including myself) tend to avoid ANY game that is based off movies, but it just so happens that I was quite the aliens/predator fan. This game was fantastic, I would probably still play it if there were people online! Server support was cut a few years back I believe and you have to do something funky during startup to play online, but you still can. Either way, the single player experience, tons of fun, the marine campaign just inspires a sense of dread, you're always wondering when something will appear, and you frequently have to run like hell, even after beating the marine campaign multiple times, I never really get bored of it. The multiplayer is where this game is just top notch though, even though it was often plagued by hackers, the variety in weapons prompted people to always pick overpowered weapons, most of these things were solved by dedicated servers with good admins, and not only that but it was always fun, had tons of features, like, an unbelievable amount. All 3 races were highly enjoyable to play. The only reason I'm giving this a 9 instead of 10 is basically because of the complete and utter lack of balancing, easily overshadowed by how fun it is to simply play on a well maintained dedicated server, it only seldom caused frustration.

  1. There are a multitude of play modes, but even the straightforward deathmatch and team deathmatch games are a blast, thanks to the species structure. [Feb 2002, p.85]
  2. With some character issues from the first game still unresolved, and due to the short duration of play and unintelligent enemies, AVP2 is stopped short of being truly stellar. However, this is one of the best action titles of the year.

    It doesn't expand the genre and it's got technical issues, but the Alien and Predator levels are a blast.
