    The biggest flaws with AvP: Extinction are the lack of a rotating camera, the unit micromanagement required, and the fact that there are only 21 missions in the game with no multiplayer at all... I wasn't disappointed with the game, and I don't think fans of AvP would be either.

    A console-friendly RTS that delivers lots of tactical action without the headaches of ports like "Commandos 2." [Sept 2003, p.59]

    APE is quite tactical, the control is good and it should keep fans interested, even with the fog-of-war, funnel levels, and pathfinding problems - a good RTS entry.

    The alien infestation system is a great concept that suffers in its implementation. Conversely, the space marine controls are quite functional, but the story makes little use of the "Aliens" license. And the predator story is more of a "that would be cool" afterthought than a smart addition.

    Or, better yet, take advantage of the game's slightly flawed design and go Predator, slaughtering the weaker species.
  6. GMR Magazine

    Uninspired level design rounds out the package, with the designers relying far too much on impassable mountain ranges and forcing players to find roundabout routes to their targets. [Sept 2003, p.77]

    The game mechanics are so badly crippled that it probably doesn't even deserve to be called a strategy game.

The detail is amazing, and the Queen's ability to lay eggs is perfect. The only letdown was that you could only have 40 Alines in a hive, and i found the fact that when you played as Marines, when the Predators are cloaked you cannot attack, but when you play as cloaked Ppredators, the Marines can attack.… Expand
