Summary: A pleasent adventure
Review: After completing all twenty-one levels of Aliens versus Predators 2 I feel like it's time to give a review. I have never played the first so this review will focus entirely on AVP2. -The Marine-
The marine was the easiest out of all the scenarios (Predator, Marine, and Alien) it also went by the quickest. Compared to all the first person shooters the marine campaign felt uninspired, unoriginal. For the plus side the Marine campaign had the best atmosphere in the game, and one of the best atmospheres in a computer game I ever encountered. Some of the weapons were useless in the single player aspect of the Marine such as the grenade launcher and sniper rifle. The story line was semi-addicting with its twists and turns and it never failed to surprise the player. Being in the Robot on the last level was cool and refreshing for a change. The lighting effects got annoying, having inadequate light for the entire mission you turn to three options: 1. Night vision 2. A shoulder lamp 3. Flares. The night vision is the best but it drains the battery way to quickly, the shoulder lamp only exposes a tiny bit of the dim room and still drains the battery quickly, finally the flares work okay for exposing area but you have a limited amount that you do not replenish quickly in the coarse of the mission. The motion detector is a useful tool accompanying your missions, it's easy to read and utilize and the monotonous beeps help aid the brilliant atmosphere of the marine campaign. (4.5/5) -The Predator-
The predator was the weakest part of this game. With no astonishing story line, heart-wrenching atmosphere, or originality it lacks in almost every place. This campaign should have been a disaster but was strangely fun, maybe by advertising that you are the predator and not the prey, a huge change from the marine campaign. The four views the predator has was a major use in beating the seven levels presented. The first was regular, the second was good at detecting humans, the third at detecting aliens, and the fourth and final one detecting predators even while their cloaked. You might find yourself switching vision modes when the light patterns get exotic, then you'll search for which one works best. Almost all the weapons have their time and place and a good sum of them were unique enough to pass by. You also had the ability to cloak but somehow the humans still could see you from many yards away so it was not as useful as you might start off thinking. The ability to regenerate at any time of the mission made the campaign way to easy. The story line lacked in almost every way. And therefore you probably would pay little attention as the story line progresses and tosses in some curves. Shallow fun with weak story line and poor creativity the Predator campaign was the weakest part of the game. (4/5) -The Alien-
The strongest part of the game was the Alien campaign. The story line had the most twists and turns, the game play was far different from the marine and predator, it had a nice bland of atmosphere, and it was loaded with creativity. Walking on walls and ceilings was fun but the view became quirky from time to time. Letting you start as a face-hugger and then biting and clawing your way out of the victims stomach was a nice touch. I also liked the idea of having to eat your enemies to regenerate your health. The story line was the darkest out of all the campaigns. It was hard since the alien had little health and some creatures like synths (artificial humans) and predators are tough to kill and you can't regenerate off them, you can only regenerate by eating humans. The alien has two views normal and something equivalent to night vision. Normal picks up the hormones of humans and predators allowing you to see them far away in the dark. All in all great seven levels with a great storyline: (4.75/5) -Overall-
The game was fun, it had some minor puzzle solving but the fact that it's linear helped keep it full of action. The graphics were okay when the game first came out, in today's day and age they are outdated. The sound is good, and there is very little music but the stuff that's there is pretty good. There is very little technically problems provided you have a Radeon instead of a GeForce. (4.6/5) A-

Summary: One of the Best Computer Games I've Ever Played!
Review: Aliens Versus Predator 2 is one of the best computer games I've ever played! It has great graphics and it is fun to play as one of the 3 species. You can play as a Marine named Harrison(his nickname is Frosty), a drone Alien, or a Predator. Some of the sounds in the game are taken directly from the movies. For example, when Jesse Ventura used the minigun in Predator, the exact same sound is used. The snarling, clawing, and screeching sounds from the Aliens are the exact same sounds they made in the Alien movies. And for the Predator, that clicking purr he makes from his mouth is the same sound too, and so is that evil laugh he makes. Other Predator sounds include when he fires his Plasma Caster, and when he draws his Disc. As the Alien, your weapons include claws, tail, and teeth. As the Predator, your weapons include the famous Wristblades, Combstick, Plasma Pistol, Spear Gun, Plasma Caster, Disc, Netgun, and Remote Bomb. You can also Cloak yourself and be invisible so enemies can't see you. Aliens see you anyway. As a Marine, your weapons include a knife, pistol, shotgun, Pulse Rifle, Smartgun, flamethrower, rocket launcher, grenade launcher, minigun, and sniper rifle. You also get a shoulder lamp for seeing in the dark. It is also neat being a Predator because you get to use the vision modes he used in the movies. Being the Alien is fun to because when you start out you have go through the alien life cycle, by finding a host, and growing into a drone. You also get to crawl on walls and pounce to eliminate your enemies quickly. It can be funny listening to the human's conversations. When you sneak up behind a human, they say something funny like, "Quit trying to scare me!", or something stupid like, "That better be a dog!" When they see you they make this funny sound that sounds something "Ahw!" Then it makes this suspensful music. It can be funny when you are walking around, and all of the sudden this music starts playing, and you look around, but you don't see anybody, but it keeps playing this music. Watching the mini-movies is fun too. The Marine movie when you start is funny. It starts off like this, "Hurry up, Frosty. We ain't got all day." "Don't you have work to do?" "Everybody's wait'n on you, heck, I even prep'ed your gear for you. Wasn't that nice of me?" "Thanks Duke. I'll remember who's a** to pull out of the fire first when everything goes to hell." Then, this other person cuts in and says, "Duke, we have an operation to run here. Quit flirting and get back to work!" Over all, very entertaining game to play.

Summary: A Great Sequel
Review: I loved this game! It scared the heck out of me; severals times I jumped, severely, and then laughed at the greatness of that ability in a game! The graphics and music are really exceptional and creepy! Did I mention creepy! I don't even mind that the music picks up before you're about to be attacked because it makes it that much more suspenseful. If they didn't give you any warning, I think this game would be a little too scary! Definitely a sweaty palms kind of game. Also, this was the first time I was able to complete the Alien mission. In AVP, for some reason, there was too much wall walking and tunnel traveling for me to stand it to the end. In AVP2, starting as a face-hugger, then changing to a chest-buster really helped alleviate that constant swirling screen. Maybe I'm the only one afflicted by this phenom, but I was appreciative of that change. It also made it challenging, having to sneak around as a baby alien, hardly able to do much of anything...very interesting and creative, and truly alien to all of us gamers used to walking around on two legs toting letal hardware. I also found the gameplay improved from AVP. All of the best elements are there, but without some of the annoying things...like the talking guy on the monitor and not every single room is darker than dark...sometimes I like to see a little bit and they did well there. Adding the rechargable shoulder lamp instead of just having the image intensifier was a terrific addition. What I really love are the intersecting story lines...crossing the same territory as all 3 species was great! It also helps when you're playing the Alien if you've been in these areas before as a Marine or a Predator. There's a large array of weapons, but I found that some are unnecessary. Maybe that's because I haven't played the most difficult settings yet, and don't play Multiplayer, but in the single-player, regular settings, I didn't have to use most of my weapons, especially as a Marine. Since I don't play MP, I miss the Skirmish mode from AVP, where using the cheats you could have all the weapons and really learn how to use them best, but the rest of the game was so good, it doesn't bother me. I wouldn't like AVP without the Skirmish mode, but AVP2 is fine without it. I had no technical problems running this game, which is always nice. There were a few times when an Alien would kind of just sit there and claw at me, but not reach me, making it easy for me to blast it, but those times were few and far between. As always, playing a Marine or Alien and going up against the Predator is totally awesome! Fox Interactive really has something here and I hope they continue to team up these two great SCI-FI stories. Final Answer: Whether you have played AVP or not, you'll enjoy this game if you're into SCI-FI/Horror and FPS. This is what it's all about!

Summary: This game is soooo SWEET!!!
Review: This game is probably by far one of the best FPS to come along in years! This game is soooo freaky, so don't consider playing it at night. This is one of those games where you stop playing it to give yourself a break, you just have to keep playing it to see what you have to do and what new things you can find and get. So, if you're waiting for the next DOOM or QUAKE game to come out, don't look any longer than this. I highly reccomend it!

Summary: Hook up those pair of head phones, turn off the lights..
Review: ... and be ready to scream louder that you ever have screamed before. Well, at least for the first 3rd of the game. I was looking for a good scary game, heard of this game, and picked it up. Indeed, few games have scared me more than the marine campaign of this game, if the makers just made that campaign longer and kept the different races in multiplayer, I just might be happy with my 30 dollar purchase of this game. The predator & alien campaigns are just bad compared to the marine one. For many reasons too, it is well paced, has a memorable main character, and it is SCARY. I screamed almost every single time an alien popped up onscreen. You might want to pick up the game, because of the low price is charging it. I think it is a dissapointment

Summary: Expect plenty of bugs
Review: I enjoyed the prequel to this game and went out on a 59$ limb to get this one. It took me several painfully long tries to get this game to install. It seemed to like to crash my computer. After a successful installation, I tried playing the game. The graphics were great, but the voice acting was ABOMINABLE! I realied more on the subtitles than the poor acting in this game. Anyway, the game was decent when it worked. AvP2 crashed my computer every 5 minutes. There were times when I could play for up to an hour before it crashed, but it always sent me to the blue screen of no return. In case you may be wondering, I meet or exceed the system requirments suggested by the manufacturer.
I finally beat the game and was met with a frustratingly anti-climactic ending sequence that left me feeling like I wasted my money on a broken game. It is possible that the game was defective, but I wasnt going to waste my time with it. I'm sure if you get a working or updated copy, you will be impressed with good graphics and gameplay. I still feel like playing as the alien.

Summary: AWESOME!...
Review: Aliens vs. Predator 2 is by far one of the best PC games ever made. If you liked Half-life and other first person shooters then you'll love this game. Gamers can play as the Marine, the Predator, or an Alien. I think it's most fun being a marine. There are tons of scary moments when you'll be walking around in the dark or in a tunnel and an alien will pop out of nowhere or off the ceiling, making you jump. As a marine you get the following weapons: combat knife, M4A4 pistol, shotgun, M-41A pulse rifle, M-56 smartgun, M-240 flamethrower, M-6B rocket launcher, M-92 grenade launcher, M-90 minigun, and a WY-102 sniper rifle. Many of the marine levels are similar to parts of the second Alien movie. As a predator you get the following weapons: wristblades, spear, plasma pistol, speargun, plasmacaster, disc, netgun, and remote bombs. As an alien, you start out as a facehugger, then a chestburster, then a full-size drone. You can headbite, claw, pounce, and use your tail. The best part about being an alien is wallwalking. One of the coolest things about this game is that you can beat it three times as a different character. All three stories fit in together perfectly also. After beating the game, you can play online. The bad thing about this game is that you need a really fast computer or else it lags a lot. Overall this is one of my favorite games.

Summary: SCARY AS ...
Review: When I first played this game, the first alien that poped up on my screen made me jump. This game is so terrifying that whoever plays it probably won't be able to sleep for weeks. This game also [is cool]. What makes this game so cool is that it puts you in the shoes of the movies. I have to admit, the movies are so cool that I thought that it was the best idea to make a game out of it.
