Aliens Vs. Critic Reviews. Score distribution:. Positive: 13 out of Mixed: 21 out of Negative: 1 out of Over all Aliens Vs Predator has succeeded in bringing to the table so much newness with an old concept. It just does not get old anytime soon in it's playability. All this publication's reviews Read full review.

The controls for Predators and Xenomorphs may be a bit tricky and the AI sometimes doesn't show any "Intelligence" at all, but nevertheless: AvP is a most-have for fans of the movies, as well as the games - especially if you're into absolute multiplayer-mayhem and dont mind "some" gore.

Aliens Vs Predator is a standard First Person Shooter, but thanks to the Predator's and Xenomorph's campaigns, it entertains old and new players. Even the multiplayer mode is funny and well structured, but the graphics engine is not that good.

PC PowerPlay. Proves not every game needs to innovate to be entertaining. All this publication's reviews. I have to deal with what I have in my hands, and what I have is a single-player mode with some noticeable highlights and a multiplayer mode with too many problems to remain enjoyable, despite all its promise.

A lot of promise mixed in with failed execution is what riddles Aliens vs. Absolute Games. This incarnation of AvP is a second-rate shooter in the most typical form, with overly repetitious game design, coding mistakes, threepenny visuals and dialogues scribbled on a rumpled napkin.

A special motion detector has been created for the protagonist to detect opponents. Also, playing as survivors, we will not be able to quickly restore health, so the character will find special syringes that gradually replenish HP.

Master the Predator's strange weapons and he becomes a very satisfying character. The cloaking device is useful except against Aliens and the two homing weapons can be highly effective if used from cover.

The perfect character for campers. You've probably seen a few other creatures on your travels, here's how to kill them. A total nightmare: if they get on your face, you're dead. Marines should go for the flamethrower or smartgun, and grenades if desperate.

Predators can blow them away with the pistol. Look like civilians, but handle weapons better and show no fear. Easy to kill as Alien or Predator. A hybrid robot and Alien. Predators should use the speargun and aim for the head. Slightly tougher than normal Aliens but can be despatched in the same way. Watch out though, these things actively seek out and eat power-ups.

There are various ways to kill a Queen depending on which level you're on. Only one thing is constant though - explosives always work best. My Favourite Sound probably out of all of them, is the ones made by aliens when they're being horrifically slaughtered in their second film, Aliens. It is, I think, based on a heavily distorted recording of a trumpeting elephant, sped up to make it absolutely terrifying in a way only the panicked, high-pitched scream of a flailing pachyderm can be.

In second place it's the dense, tinny shred of a pulse rifle. Then there's the muffled, static veil draped over your ears when the Predator switches to thermal vision, married with his exotic, guttural clucks as he lops his tongue about inside his mandible box-mouth.

Every Aliens vs Predator game has understood the importance of replicating the most aurally recognisable aspects of its characters, and this release continues that tradition. It sounds incredible. Incredible enough to make me want to say words like "aural soundscape" and "crunchy sonic feast". Here's a game that's mostly about inflicting horrendous injuries on deserving creatures, and it's one In which you'll appreciate every sinewy crunch, gargled howl, bloody slosh and hollow snap.

Aliens vs Predator is sickeningly violent - more so in one of the three campaigns than the others, admittedly -in ways that are borderline comical and dancing on the periphery of decency.

Lovely, spine-tearing, eye-socket spearing madness then. Where the films lost credibility the moment they went PG, Rebellion's A v P wears its 18 certificate with pride. These are Schwarzeneggar's Predators and, Ripley's aliens. Sadly, these are the same one-dimensional barking space marines you've seen a thousand times before, but the point stands - this game doesn't flinch in showing you brutality on a level not seen since the early films. The good ones. So, evil megacorp Weyland-Yutani have found some ancient ruins on a distant planet, and in their efforts to exploit the artifacts found within they've attracted the attention of the ruin's guardians: the tribal, dreadlock-sporting Predators.

Bit of a pedant's minefield, this review, but we'll stick to calling the angry monsters 'Predators' for the sake of our sanity. The planet also happens to be home to a colony of Giger's xenomorphs, thereby allowing for the classic three-way struggle seen in both of the previous games to erupt all over again. Registering false positives in nearly every darkened corner, the environment takes pleasure in suggesting random shadows might contain dripping alien death, and for the first 10 minutes you won't even meet one of the things.

You'll be yelping at vents, alarmingly shaped shadows and dangling bits of wire which, in a case of misjudged engineering, look identical to the tails of lackadaisical, ceiling-dwelling aliens. The Alien campaign, on the other hand, is a reduced affair.

Weapons and frippery are replaced by tooth and claw, and the unique ability to climb on any surface allows you to stalk marines from the darkness like a pervert Spider-man. You're the smarter-than-your-average specimen known as Number Six, receiving curiously detailed orders from your Queen who's kind enough to mark objectives on your HUD, in between shitting out a thousand eggs and fighting to save her and your colony from the nefarious human threat.

Great greasy things, are the aliens, moving unpredictably along walls and ceilings, at all times beautifully animated and intricately detailed.

As absurd as it sounds, their flowing, flicking tails are their most convincing component, snaking behind their skeletal forms as they corner and leap from surface to surface. In the Alien campaign, you'll spend real minutes chasing your physics-powered tail. Your armoury increases to include a shotgun and a powerful scoped rifle, around about the same time you begin to encounter acid-spitting aliens and the Freud-baiting facehuggers.

Inevitably, when your objective changes focus and you find yourself pitched against human opponents, the change in pace throws the Alien's combat into sharp relief. Instead of frantically searching walls and ceilings for scuttling enemies, you're seeking out enemies who intelligently find cover.

The notion of an enemy who, at this late stage, doesn't simply sprint towards you in an attempt to stab you from every angle at once feels oddly unnatural but wholly welcome. Otherwise, you're dragging your lonely self through some scenic environments, locations through which all three campaigns pass.

Marines have their cold, metallic, space-age grime. Aliens prefer their homes to resemble the interior of a giant decaying anus: dank, maze-like hives peppered with facehugger-bearing eggs. No matter who you choose to play as, the campaigns are linear, checkpoint-pocked trots from one area to the next, and one from which every ounce of fat has been trimmed. AvP's campaigns are iwrryingly short - you could race through the Alien campaign in under two hours, and the Marine's in four - but they're densely packed with well-sonstructed set pieces, engineered scares and often striking locations.

The Predator campaign, in particular, is almost puzzle-like in delivering small arenas of patrolling humans and tasking you with murdering the lot of them. Your distract ability allows you to target a single marine and lure him to a point using a voice recording, a highly telegraphed they shout things like I think the noise came from here! Aliens grab too. And where Predators jab wristblades into eye sockets, aliens spear chests on barbed tailsand plunge their inner-mouths through foreheads to regain health.

You'll gag on your own nostalgia gland as, when playing as the Alien, you realise you can still slash limbs off corpses and leave them lying about the place for their friends to find. Scooting up and down walls is at first disorientating, but soon becomes second nature - and as long as you're in the dark you can take a moment to relax and figure out if you're upside-down or not, just like a real alien probably does.

Darkness effectively makes you invisible to marines who aren't alerted to your presence, working very much like the Predator's cloaking device. Once they know you're nearby however, they'll poke about with flashlights until they've found your hiding place, requiring you to move and jump between shadows, hissing to lure individuals before tearing their faces off in showers of blood, skin and bone. So those are the campaigns.

Three discrete experiences, each one adapted to suit the mechanics of its given species, with the Marine's more fully realised than the others. Number Six's journey ends all too abruptly, and does away with the fun larval stages in AvP2. It literally and this isn't a spoiler winces and dies maybe of sadness, three hours before you'd expect. Crucially, they all work within the context of the three characters and their abilities.

Survival is the co-op mode you dreamt of after watching Aliens - a desperate last stand against an unending tide of flashing claws and teeth. It's a basic, boiled down affair though, featuring nought but players, their guns with an occasional autoaiming, xeno-seeking smartgun drop , and an endless supply of angry, angry scuttling enemies.

Elsewhere, the straightforward three-way deathmatch appears finely balanced. Both aliens and Predators can perform their unblockable trophy kills by moving behind enemies and hammering the E key. Once locked into the gruesome animation, the attacker is then at his most vulnerable, creating the potential for a ridiculous conga line of trophy killers, or for one intelligent player to hold back and toss a few grenades or plasma cannon rounds into the fray.

Marines lack the ability to tear bones right out of another player's body, and instead rely on countering melee attacks, which gives them more than enough time to pile a few shotgun J rounds into their stumbled victim.

The multiplayer modes are fast paced-which makes sense, as more people are being stabbed and speared than shot - but it remains faithful to the fiction. Few concessions are made in porting abilities from the single-player campaign to multiplayer - admirably, you'll be cloaking and leaping from shadows as a Predator, dropping from the ceiling as an alien, and running away from moving objects as a marine.

The constant exchange of what are essentially backstabs doesn't grate either, instead the experience is closer to playing on an instagib server - that is, you'll kill, die and respawn with enough regularity that you'll place little value in your continuing existence, scoffing nervously at death as it buzzes by you over and over again. Aliens vs Predator is a brilliantly authentic and cinematic experience, tinged with a vague sense that more could've been done with the single player to properly spear our eyeballs into attention.

It's savage, dark, and ultra violent, just like we said on the cover, but holding it back from a higher score are Alien and Predator too soon and don't reach a conclusion. Does it compar rest of the series? Yes, of course it does, at times it tears the throat put of the previous two games and dances on heir acid-speckled, increasingly decrepit corpses.

But will it make as big an impact? It's old-school, a shooter from a decade past, and with that all the baggage you'd expect: often startling linearity, irrelevant plot and scenes two steps away from the Modern nWarfare-style blockbuster set pieces to which we're fast becoming accustomed. I'd argue that we wouldn't want it any other way when it comes to Aliens vs Predator.

It's deliriously gory, unwaveringly confident and spectacular fun.
