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 thoughtfully designed, complex, and pretty fun game to play. Alas, a dearth of supplemental features and some flimsy presentation drag down what could have been a more solid overall package.
Pretty much the halo wars of the alien vs predator franchise, AWESOME IDEA, even tho it came after it, halo wars was better. Anyway, the predator campaign might be the best, as the alien campaign takes a while to get started, it's incredibly fun, all the modes are, I felt the aliens to be underpowered unless they were in big numbers, the same for marines, but predators were a little overpowered. They story was meh and the gameplay can be incredibly flawed at times, even really annoying when a large group of your forces split up because not all of them can go around the same obstacle at the same time, it's very annoying, and there are tons of glitches where my marines would get stuck in a wall and sometimes my chestbursters wouldn't grow, and the graphics are kinda bad, but that's because it's an old game. Final score is 8/10
Since there are a number of cool Alien and Predator units that are fun to see and play, Extinction does have some redeeming value. However,...the lack of online support or multiplayer of any kind is unforgivable. [Aug 2003, p.99]
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.
If you can forgive the fact that this isn’t a first-person shooter, the premise is good enough, but the execution tastes like xenomorphic acid on the tongue.
ill start off by saying im not a huge RTS fan . ive played star craft and C&C and some other and i just dont get into them much. this one though was kind of fun . mainly because i loved the alien missions , it was jjst fun sending in a swarm of aliens and waching them ravage every thing in there path and the differnt types you could make . loved the ravager he's like 20ft tall death machine with giant blades for hands. the marine missions kind of **** and the predator one was just ok . its a fun game if your a aVP fan or want a decent rts game for a console .
Un jeu en stratégie temps réel sur console... ? est-ce bien raisonnable ? quand c'est bien fait, pourquoi pas (cf Halo Wars) mais dans le cas présent et malgré la licence AvP, c'est un désastre : interface à la ramasse et réalisation horrible sont au menu. A fuir.
