Game Info
Publisher: Sierra Entertainment
Developer: Rebellion
Genre(s): Third-Person Action, Adventure
Players: 4
ESRB Rating: T (Teen)
Release Date: November 13, 2007
Summary
In this third-person action-adventure, players assume the role of an elite lone Predator with an arsenal of exotic weaponry and equipment at their disposal. The game gives access to advanced technologies with the Predator's wrist computer including Pred-tech/thermal vision modes and cloaking, to track, stalk and annihilate both humans and Aliens. Both classic and completely new futuristic weapons such as wrist blades, laser trip mines and dual shoulder cannons give players the ability to eradicate all traces of the Alien race. With co-op multiplayer mode players are be able to team up with friends wirelessly to play as the Predator’s comrades, attempting to withstand hordes of attacking Aliens. To add to the game’s challenging features, an honor point system evaluates the player's success based on how closely they adhere to the Predator's value system. The higher the honor achievement, the more weapon and armor upgrades available to the player. [Sierra]

Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
Concentrates on totally accommodating casual players, at the expense of entertaining fans. [Jan 2008, p.122]
Games Master UK
In short bursts, it plays well but the stellar source material begs for a better tie-in, and the game's finale provides all the exctiement of a soggy firework. [Jan 2007, p.72]
Play Magazine
The visuals are fairly nondescript, and while there's enough technical prowess to find acceptable on the PSP, the settings the designers decided to toss you into do little to excite. [Jan 2008, p.65]
VideoGamer
Beyond the short-ish 15-mission single-player experience you have a very basic ad hoc two-player Skirmish multiplayer mode that doesn't really add much to the game.
Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)
Again, it's not revolutionary but it's damned fun. [Feb 2008, p.87]
Armchair Empire
Alien vs. Predator: Requiem is not a bad game, it’s just not the best game in the AvP universe.
Read Full Review >IGN
It's not going to challenge you, but it's not going to frustrate you too badly. It's not going to captivate you, but it's not going to repel you. If you want to run around cloaking yourself and destroying a bunch of easy-as-pie aliens, this is here. If not, this is still here. Do what you will with it.
Read Full Review >Maxi Consolas (Portugal)
The abilities that offers the player, like the invisibility, vision mode and the Predator weapons, are well implemented in the control scheme of the PSP. But the levels are somewhat empty and all the action is extremely repetitive and boring. [Jan 2008]
Worth Playing
The last AvP game was released years ago and put forward a much stronger effort than this. The presentation is good, and at times, it had the makings of an honestly frightening game, but the difficulty level is scaled back so much that it ceases to be fun.

Requiem isn't a particularly bad game, oh no; it's something quite worse: a patently mediocre game.
Read Full Review >Gaming Nexus
Nothing about this game is horrible, but nothing is really that awesome. Alien vs. Predator: Requiem is just a mediocre action title for the PSP.
Read Full Review >Gamer 2.0
Now, with all that said, this game isn’t awful but, really isn’t worth playing and is extremely hard to recommend since there are much better handheld titles out on store shelves.
Read Full Review >Edge Magazine
The game’s unique honour system (requiring you to tag and then kill enemies in exchange for upgrades) proves largely irrelevant, and in the heat of battle, toggling your firstperson view and wrestling with the analogue nub to track fast-moving targets proves frustrating and unwieldy. [Jan 2008, p.88]
Gameplanet
Although Aliens vs Predator: Requiem is pretty straightforward, you’d probably enjoy it if you are just after a mindless shoot out.
Read Full Review >Playstation Official Magazine UK
The whole enterprise smacks of a hopeless brief. [Jan 2008, p.103]
Gamestyle
Aliens Vs Predator: Requiem is what we like to describe as a mild diversion. Certainly not worth your hard earned pennies it’s nevertheless a fairly competent movie tie-in that will entertain for about half an hour.
Read Full Review >Total Video Games
Aliens vs. Predator Requiem has a short lifespan; it's very repetitive and has a multiplayer mode that may as well have been left out. Far from having Predatory instincts, the game would die from hypothermia if left out for 20 minutes on a chilly September evening.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
This battle between invading extraterrestrials is hardly a fair fight. It's also not a very interesting one.
Read Full Review >GameZone
A repetitive action game with very little substance and absolutely no style despite the fact that the Predator warrior is represented well in the game.
Read Full Review >PSW Magazine UK
A shallow and clumsy game that fails to make the most of the PSP and the AVP licence.
Read Full Review >Play.tm
AvP:R is an action game that fails spectacularly to doing anything exciting with a license built on the promise of exciting action. Instead it comes off feeling like a shell of a game waiting for someone to come along and add the ideas and fun.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
It's decent, but never goes the extra distance. Overall the game is dark, making a lot of the detail difficult to see. There's just a bit too much of the vision modes which seems to be a cheap way out of rendering detailed characters and environments.
Read Full Review >Jolt Online Gaming UK
You can play through the game in a matter of hours, including the additional skirmishes, and shouldn’t have much difficulty doing so. It’s kind of cool being a predator, hunting down aliens, but AvP: Requiem feels like a budget game using tired clichés and with dull, inoffensive gameplay.
Read Full Review >PSM3 Magazine UK
Frustrating camera. [Jan 2008, p.76]
Game Revolution
The hand-holding map, health boosts, and high-powered arsenal sap the fun out of what could have been a decent third-person shooter.
Read Full Review >Thunderbolt
It's not a bad game, it's just one of the most tediously easy, generic and downright bland games of the year.
Read Full Review >AceGamez
I guess my main issue with Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is that it's simply a bad game and also that it's just so disappointing.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
It's not a badly made game. With the exception of the camera, everything works. It looks all right. It's not the worst videogame we've ever played, and it's certainly not the worst movie tie-in. But it's entirely lacking in imagination and innovation. There's nothing that hasn't been done before and no incentive to keep playing.
Read Full Review >Pocket Gamer UK
Despite source material that found success on the PC, Aliens vs Predator: Requiem is dull, repetitive, illogical, glitchy, and everything that gives movie tie-ins a bad name.
Read Full Review >1UP
The game offers painfully little in the way of options. Most annoying is the complete lack of straight-up deathmatch -- Predator-vs.-Predator -- or an option to play as an alien. Instead, you choose from a handful of environments where two Predators compete to kill the most aliens under a time limit. Yawn.
Read Full Review >Video Game Talk
This is a problematic PSP title that probably never should have seen the light of day.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
Aliens vs Predator: Requiem is certainly of a lower quality than its predecessors, almost setting new standards for how boring a licensed title can be. Unfortunately this is the worst thing a game can be, and mundane will kill not only enjoyment you may have with the title, but also start to dig away at your appreciation for the franchise.

Kal-el gave it a1:
Boring and Too Repititive!!!! Play this only if you want to navigate long levels and killing a maximum 10 aliens per level. Suited only for the hardcore fan. Controls awkward, movement is stiff, combat is non-existent(just blast away with your cannon). What can I say more?
G-NERIC gave it a6:
Damn, i was really looking foward to this one. 2 of the baddest sci-fi monsters duking it out? check! Original developer Rebellion (they made the awesome avp for pc) making it? check! so what went wrong? Nothing in particular really, and that what hurts so much. The game is COMPLETLY average and in some cases boring. All u do in every level is kill some aliens here and there while making sure that u leave no trace of evidence behind. Its very saddening, especially if ur a fan of alien or predator.
