Summary: Scariests PC Moments ever - First Person Shooter Classic
Review: This game is something to shout about! Let me rephrase that - These 3 games are something to shout about! Thats basically what you get. The different characters are varied enough to make this a highly original FPS which has features important enough to make it a landmark FPS. It may not be HalfLife or SS2 but its damnright up there with the best of them This must be the best Movie spinoff of all time. The games mirror the movies so much. From the sounds the Aliens and Predators make to the way the Predator uses his medikit. Every aspect of the movie is there. The marine levels are the scariest I have ever seen. Aliens appear from nowhere and with surround sound I guarantee you will jump in fright in no time.

The cut scenes are gorgeous and once you complete a game there are bonus levels. You have to complete the game on the hardest level to get all of them.

This game also saw the first use of limited game saving per level. This is great as you cant save your game every 5 seconds. This has been seen in later games since. You WILL replay bits and it is tough but at least you have to use your brain and skill a bit more.

The marine levels were my favourite followed by the predator. Each character has different attack modes and ways of moving. For instance, the predator can survive high jumps while the alien is the quickest and hardest to hit but takes most damage. Learnin these skills is a key to sucess. There are also nice touches like the predator being able to pull the heads off marines and aliens blood spraying at you.

The predator has the different vision modes while the Alien has the fish vision mode. While a marine it sometimes felt like Half Life, but its the closest you'll get to being in the movie. The guns make the same noise, theres the constant beep of the detector which speeds up as an Alien gets closer. It cant be faulted for realism.

The multiplayer aspect is super also as you get to fight a mixture of baddies. Theres a big online contingent of players out there. Afrer Quake3, Unreal Tournement and Team Fortress this probably comes next in the hierarchy.

The only fault is that there could have been more levels and maybe the storyline could have been a bit better (being picky). Still, this does not detract from a PC classic with gripping atmosphere and moments that will give you nightmares!

It is a great FPS even without the Movie License which should appeal to fans of both the movie and gaming genre.

I cannot say enough good things about this game. Especially in a time when FPS are 10 a penny. This has new elements like the save options, 3 game modes and vision modes that makes this a cut above most other FPS out there. This game has added to the FPS genre for sure. You can almost hear the cries of "Game over man, game over!". Go get it now!

Summary: WANT A CHALLENGE AND THE ABILITY NOT TO SLEEP!?
Review: This game rules. For all you wussies out there who whine about it being to hard, I laugh. That's what we said about Super Mario Bros when it first came out. This Game is a fast paced fight for your life thrill ride. What better way to spend the evening getting the crap scared out of you. It may be difficult but that's what they said about Half Live too. For those out there who whine about it being to hard maybe you guys should stick with it and learn how to play in a combat situation. The Marine Was actually easy once you got to know his assessts.

I admit this game was not a walk in the park but that's what made it so much fun. If you want a fast paced, run amuck, and blow the other guy away type of game this is a must have for you.

Summary: Alien versus Predator Gold Edition - Review by R°sC°
Review: This is a great game. My comp recently crashed and i need a new copy of this game.. if anyone can sell me a copy i'd be glad to buy. The multiplayer games on this program are excellent! Playing this game in the dark will scare the hell outta you! The Aliens in this game look so real and the Predator combat will leave you breathless. If you are looking for a good Role Playing game for the PC then pick up a copy of this.

Summary: It can't be that scary.....can it?
Review: This is the game everyone wanted. While Star Wars is constantly plunged into the world of the cheap cash-in the two most inventive and downright scariest films of the 80's have mainly escaped their development fate. AvP is by far the most scariest and atmospheric game i have ever had the honour to play. It dosen't try to be the best (ala Half Life) or the best multi-player (ala Quake 3) it just tries to be a great INDIVIDUAL game that wants to show what would happen in a battle between the fear inducing alien, the eight foot predator and some hapless marine 'shoulder' cannon fodder and it does an absolutely fantastic jod of it. The game ha been traeted with the ultimate in respect as have our dynamic trio and the game remains at a constant lightning speed throughout although the graphics do suffer slightly but a decent graphics card will do more than compensate. The characters are well animated with the HUGE queen alien made up of 2000 polygons! So with me waxing lyrical over one of my favourite games of all time( 15 years of gaming experience) are there any bad points? Well yes as mentioned in every review on Amazon about this game... the difficulty and by god what a dificulty even on easy the most veteran of gamers will struggle. Especially on the alien and, while being quite cool, the marine because its too go damn unnerving! The motion tracker is great way to scare gamers and usually by the time it bleeps you're either decapitaied (via alien) or torso-less (via predator). The alien survives 2 seconds of machinegun fire. The predator is the best though. Immune to fire, invisible (when still cause you are more visible when running) and the ability to detonate yourself in multiplayer as he does in the original. For fans this is a dream come true as it is just for casual gamers just expect one hell of a challenge.
+Great speed and graphics are pretty brilliant.
+Great levels and atmosphere.
+You can be the PREDATOR!
+Good challenge
-Good multiplayer

-You need a 3D card (D3D compatable)
-You're dead too quick as the others
-Maybe TOO much of a challenge for most
So in a few words this is by far the best, in my opinion, 1st person shooter in the world just beware of acid blood use the smartgun and minigun all the time. Alien hates fire Predator loves it, the speargun is best as well as shoulder cannon and avoid fights as the alien. Enjoy.

Summary: An excellent game that's a little too hard...
Review: until you get into it. When I first started playing, this game was so frustratingly impossible, but when you get used to it, it stops being impossible and starts being a challenge. This game definitely makes wonderful use of all the source materiel, giving us a wonderful cinematic-feeling experience. Now you can sympathize with what all those people were feeling in the Alien movies.

The Alien is probably the hardest to play as. Granted it moves really fast and can walk on walls, but no ranged weapons, and no medkit, leave you exceptionally vulnerable to the marines' rapid fire weaponry.

The Marine levels are also extremely difficult, because as soon as an alien gets under your arc of fire, you're good as dead. Fortunately, you get a full range of fun weapons.

But the easiest, if least fun, is the Predator. Exceptionally strong, with auto-aiming vision, sniper weapons, and auto-recharging ammo, this guy's levels are, at first, a lot easier than the other two.

Each of the characters has his own, linear, campaign, but these campaignes have nothing to do with each other. The multiplayer's lots of fun, the sounds are excellent, the graphics are high-res, and run well, even with all the features on, on a low end system. Plus, it takes less than 300 megs of HD space and it doesn't require the CD! The music, while not award-winning materiel, is moody, and the predator music recognizably borrows materiel from his movie theme, while the Marine and Alien music is similar to the Aliens action themes.

The enemies aren't incredibly diverse, but they're tough and they look cool, so that doesn't matter too much. And don't worry about the difficulty level...The gold edition comes with the strategy guide. Overall, this is a very fun and addictive, if very hard, game to add to your collection. Recommended.

Summary: Is this gonna be a stand up fight, sir, or another bug hunt?
Review: We've all seen the movies. From Alien to Predator 2, the average fan can usually recall and say, verbatim, just about any line from each movie. We each have our favorites too...mine is Aliens, and AvP borrows heavily from it and Predator to establish it's basic premise and it's incredibly eerie atomosphere.

Oh, the atmosphere is perfect...I don't think the designers could have made it any more frightening than it is. This is especially true if you're playing as a Colonial Marine. Of the three species, this will be the one you're liable to grab first. And why not? You're a human, you understand guns, how to shoot em', and blow up stuff. The engine is superb...the graphics are outstanding...to this day I cannot play this game at night. Laugh if you must, but between the "beep...beep...beep..beep..BEEP!" of the motion tracker detecting aliens you can hear but cannot see, to the very accurate sound and fire pattern of the M-41A Pulse Rifle...I'm not joking when I say it's like being in the movie "Aliens".

The Predator portion is equally outstanding. Every sound has been dutifully rendered into the game from the silver screen, so that when you cloak and look in thermal view at some inept human walking down a corridor, you really do feel all-powerful, especially when you hit them with deadly accuracy with your shoulder cannon. Every weapon is powerful, and depending on which species you're fighting, each will be more important than others at different times.

The Alien has to be my least favorite species to play as. For one, I'm not afraid to run around, since I *become* the thing to be feared, but then again, damage is easily inflicted on you, although your speed can help lower that a bit. The only other problem I have with the Alien mission portion is basically summarized by PC Gamer's review of it when it said something like "To accomplish your mission objectives like it was on a to-do list on the Alien Queen's clipboard feels somehow *wrong*".

Multiplayer is a blast, but with only a limited selection of maps to play on and no means to make your own multiplayer levels, you'll grow weary on it after a while. Cooperative missions are my least favorite...several marines basically try to hold off huge and endless waves of Aliens that respawn regularly...ad infinitum. It'd be nice to have a scenario where a group of marines would have to go through a maze or complex to accomplish some mission that would have a definite end to it. But it usually ends up being 3-4 marines backed up into a corner firing at everything they see.

Overall this is a fantastic game, one that once you start playing you won't want to stop. Except at night, when you're all alone.

Summary: MY REVIEW OF ALIENS VS PREDATOR
Review: well i guess this game is really good and I think it was pretty good if you like killing things that apear from nowere

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great game
Review: Well there is not much to say about this game except the following... ITS A GOOD GAME.but it doesnt work with most pcs I here but I must of got lucky. overal this is a hard game (I beat it with alien easy)but the only reason I played a the alien insted of the predator or marine is my HUGE phobia of face huggers. so I played as the predator through the 2nd level and stopped when it said on the movie"XENOMORPH SPECIMENS ON THE LOOSE". thats right I stopped because of face huggers.But because of common knowlage
I know that there are aliens in the first level so there is a huge posibility of face huggers.but wait if you dont play as the marine you have the danger of turrets(when you turn in a corridor and something shoots you and your instantly dead)but thankfully you can hear them but the face hugger sounds is very creepy(constant tapping but you do not know where it is)
but hey forget about that. I will let you in on a secret.
when playing as predator on REALISTIC MODE A(as in one)cheat

1.turn on cloaking(period)and crouch(ctrl) and just walk up to enemys while still crouching and cloaked just charge up wrist blades (R mouse/hold to charge up,release when attack is desired
and frag(kill) them and pickup energys when Field charge is low.Most FAQs say to use shoulder cannon.WRONGE.Shoulder cannon(plasma caster) almost always misses because humans a slow moving and the predator always underestimates the humans.
2.when you come up to a guy on a ledge useing a grenade launcher backup and switch to spear gun( [ ) move back up and zoom in(Page up) and peg'em in the head.Make sure you hit him the first time or you will have to start over.3.switch to medicomp and use it. Equip the wristblades.jump to the ledge on the left.
proceed to the end of that ledge then jump to the one on the right.get the energy recharge and jump down.4.repeat #1.
5. do #1 till you come across an elevator next to a waterfall
turn of cloaking and stop crouching.just attack the guy up there and open the door.if you did all of these steps correctly you got
shotgun speargun(pigsticking)access cheats by going to main menu and right above exit should be cheat options

note this cheat is only for levels you have beaten NORMALY.This is of you cheaters out there who try to find the easy way.
bye the way say yes to if this review was helpful
