Summary: If you like shoot-em-ups, this is a must.
Review: I have never been a great fan of first person shooters, because I always found them shallow and scrappy. I was lent this game by a relative and after ten minutes of play I was hooked. The actual quality of gameplay was excellent and the graphics were to die for! The three- way character plot was well thought out, and the various weapons and different views made the game not only visually mind-blowing, but also spine-chillingly scary. Something always happens to make you jump! But I have one criticism of the game, because it lacked enough in-game movies to keep you aware of what was going on. I think that it could have been better, but altogether not a bad piece of action gaming! Well done Fox Interactive!

Summary: One of the best concepts for a game ever!
Review: Never have I seen a game that keeps you on your toes, as well as the edge of your seat, better than this one. Alien vs. Predator has been my favorite concept overall for movies, games, etc. I am just now in the middle of reading the Alien vs. Predator screenplay that was made for a feature film, but never brought to the post-production stages. Not only were my two favorite series ever meeting to form a potentially great film, the one-and-only director Robert Rodriguez was cast to direct it. Although they did not carry this idea out, I'm sure in the near future they will. Anyway, this game captivates all of the suspense from both series, and unleashes them in a triple-bypass event of fright. Allowing access to any of the three characters is a genious idea. I highly suggest playing this game for anyone who is a fan of either of the series.

Review: One of a finger-ful of first-person-shooters that actually tries something new, 'Aliens Vs Predator' is fantastic for as long as it lasts, which unfortunately isn't all that long. Splitting the game into Marine, Alien and Predator phases ensures great variety, but you feel that you're playing three short games instead of one long one. Still, it's worth the price for the Alien segments alone. Whilst the Marine stages are superior shoot-em-up action with an extremely scary atmosphere, and the Predator section seems oddly detatched (we never learn enough about the creature in the films to care much, although the execution of his multiple vision modes is superb), the Alien sections could be a game in themselves. Treating ceilings and walls as if they were floors, as the Alien you have to keep yourself hidden, and restrict your combat to quick darts from the shadows. The feeling of power, as you cling to a roof high above your blinded, blundering victim-to-be, is addictive, and soon you'll be disappointed that people don't scream in horror when you approach them in real life.The graphics and sound are top-notch, both in their own right and as adaptations of existing material. The alien and human environments match those of the film, and the selection of weaponry intelligently expands on that presented in 'Aliens'. Best of all, there are lots of nice touches - the sound and music is sampled from the films, the Predator's vision modes switch with a familiar 'whack' noise, and you're encouraged to replay the game by an extensive series of bonus items, bestowed by achieving certain difficult goals. The short FMV sequences are top-notch, too. A word of warning - it's extremely hard and very intense. The Marine spends most of his time running backwards from approaching aliens (and if you stand on a face-hugger, you will leap out of your skin), the Alien is vulnerable to bullets, and the Predator, whilst tough, is overcome by sheer weight of numbers. Unless you download a patch, you can't even save the game within a mission, something which is both admirably brave of the programmers and extremely intimidating. All in all, it's two-thirds superior shoot-em-up and one-third genius, polished until it shines and pumped up with steroids.

Summary: Great job at capturing the movie atmosphere
Review: The game has done a great job at capturing the overall atmosphere of the Alien and also the Predator movies. The weapons are the same as seen on TV, heck, even the sound effects are the same. Play the game as the marine, alien or predator. Great plot, great action, great game.
The marine's smartgun is reason in itself to buy this title. Simply delicious.

Summary: Atmosphere baby, it's all about the atmosphere
Review: There have been other games, especially Half Life, that lay claim to the title of "Most Advanced 3D Shooter", but none of them come close to the sheer terror of Aliens vs. Predator. This game initially lacks an in-level save option (you have to download a patch for that) as well as any kind of a running narrative plot, or any between level cut-scenes for that matter. But what this game does, it does PERFECTLY. And that is to put you into the body of a Colonial Marine, a Predator, or one of the Aliens. Either character allows you to literally step inside make believe and interact with locations that up until now you could only view in the movies. Locations like the LV-426 colony, or the inside of the derelict Alien spacecraft complete with the fossilized pilot. The highlight of this game is the third level while playing as the Alien. It is basically a recreation of the first Alien movie, but from the Alien's point of view. For fans of the Aliens or the Predator movies, this game is an absolute must.

Summary: I'm scared, I need to be held!
Review: This game is excellent, no doubt about it! The only thing is, it actually frays my nerves to be so realistically hunted by Aliens. I had a great time playing the Alien role, there's no better feeling than being the hunter, but I'm still drinking my Gummi Berry juice to get by on the other roles. Give it a try!
