AvP Reviews Round-Up
AvP Game News | Posted by Corporal Hicks on 16 Feb 2010 15:53 GMT

The game has been out a day officially and reviews have been steadily rolling in over the past week. I thought it might be time to give a round up on the front page. Since there’s less of these, I’ll start with the:

Negative Reviews

Positive Reviews

There are many more reviews out. The overwhelming majority of reviews are all in the positive region, usually scoring around 7 out of 10. Ikarop has created a comprehensive list of reviews that will constantly be updated as new reviews are released.

Good to hear, i was starting to have doubts


stealth bunny | 16 Feb 2010 16:03

For me the reviews mean nothing, I think if you enjoy the source material you’ll enjoy it, I really enjoyed predator:concrete jungle on xbox & star trek legacy on xbob360, both of which got pretty bad reviews, I’m sure I’m gonna love this.


Derp | 16 Feb 2010 16:04

Kinda annoying that the only real reason there are those negative reviews are because the people who reviewed them were either uneducated in the Alien/Predator universe or just that they were really bad at the game itself.


stealth bunny | 16 Feb 2010 16:07

I bet not many people have an xbob360?
Of course I meant xbox360, still it’s good most reviews are sounding positive though.


AVP kicks ass | 16 Feb 2010 16:09

This game takes a while to immerse yourself into but after about the first half hour of playing the game you will find yourself loving every bit of the game. It is what the fans of the movies have always wanted but were let down by the two avp movies. It can settle the debate amongst your friend on who would win if an all out war broke out with Predators, Aliens, and Marines. The Campaign is a blast especially with the three separate campaigns in the game. The predator makes you feel like a tough ass person, while you feel freaking evil using the aliens crawling over walls decapitating, skull exploding, and tail piercing anything that stands in your way. And the Marine campaign is as scary as hell! Rebellion has created a game with the perfect feel from the predators great visions, the aliens hiss and wall crawling(which can get clunky feeling) and the sounds of all the marine weapons and their iconic motion sensor. The multiplayer aspect of the game is really enjoyable and will keep you coming back for more. I found the easiest way to get into it was to play as the marine and find better weapons. This game takes a while to catch onto online but once you get the hang of it you will be blast, stabbing, and decapitating your way with a grin on your face the whole time.

If you enjoyed the movies then do yourself a favor and pick up this game it will not disappoint.

I give this game an 8.5


[AVP3]10_nut | 16 Feb 2010 16:15

this reviews are for PS3 and XBOX360 not pc


Drakolowe | 16 Feb 2010 16:21

they aint so bad at all, nothing to worry about :cheesy: :cheesy:


GrimyGhost | 16 Feb 2010 16:44

Notice UK reviews are positive… thats all i care about, dont care what those Yanks say, its a game made in the UK.


AVP kicks ass | 16 Feb 2010 16:59

GrimyGhost thats why the story line is so damn epic well should have know I love you guys

So I just beat Aliens campaign and i thought it was awesome

That explains the Weyland Yutani commandos at the end of Alien 3 they were combat droids. This is why they shot Morris in the leg when bishop was hit in the back of the head with the wrench. They were protecting bishop cause they were programed to just like there programed to follow his orders in this game


Krio | 16 Feb 2010 17:06

Reviews mean nothing, but let me tell you this game isn’t good like “AvP” and “AvP2″.

The graphics are very poor for the PC version (they put console graphics on PC, nice move assholes), but the game and storyline is good :smiley:

I give it a 7/10

“Paul Anderson” should have done that for a movie and not those shitty movies.

Ohh yeah I didn’t find this game gore or violent and the AI are kinda stupid :undecided:

One more thing the compaigns are too short :(


mattjargon | 16 Feb 2010 17:17

I thi8nk it really takes a Aliens/Predator franchise lover/nerd to love this game. Hence why I like it and some of my friends just shrugged it off (the demo).


Spoon | 16 Feb 2010 17:21

Rating is rating. Theres no difference between pc and console other then graphics and controls. They are not going to review the game based on those aspects alone. Sure they said graphics are poor but that wont make the 5.5 a 8 rating. Plus its only the power of the computer that is helping with the graphics. When comparing to other computer games avp doesn’t have all that great graphics.
I find the lighting is poorly done on the console versions compared to the pc. An easy fix would have solved it.


Krio | 16 Feb 2010 17:32

Spoon: there’s A LOT OF difference between PC and console graphics, so don’t tell me the’re no difference, I work in computers and I work in 3D so don’t tell me what is better or not…


Lamplight | 16 Feb 2010 17:49

One of the reviewers from my country said that the Predator Hunt MP mode is negligible as there are often not as many players as there should be, and that it usually boils down to just one or two marines running around…

What do you think about it?
Have you already played the mode?


Frenzy | 16 Feb 2010 18:01

I am glad there are more positive reviews, don’t mind gamespot since they take bribes for their game review ratings and call it *Paying For Advertising* from game devs.


Fatal Facepalm | 16 Feb 2010 18:01

:tongue: I don’t care about the reviews, this game is gunna be great~ Don’t care where it was made either; Good taste has no borders :grin:


AVP kicks ass | 16 Feb 2010 18:04

I’m just gonna say the game really deserves at least a 7 out of 10 I rate it an 8.5 on the PC god this game rocks playing Predator campaign right now


HeRO2604 | 16 Feb 2010 18:04

teamxbox gives only a 6.0 :cry:

http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1849/Aliens-vs-Predator/p1/

strange that this game has such different ratings.


EpsilonOrpheon777 | 16 Feb 2010 18:06

i agree. i’m just super pissed that gamestop [or the supplier, which ever] effed up my release date. so in order to get the hunter edition i have to wait an extra day. what is that crap? they didn’t have to push back the date of Bioshock2′s special last week. so retarded. i think i’m going in in person to… talk to them.


TheCai | 16 Feb 2010 18:10

Down loading it right now, I’ll let ya know :tongue:


Harkonen | 16 Feb 2010 18:15

graphics donnt matter as long as gameplay is intense theres nought more satisfying than taking them out one by one i love sick thrill games like that like shinobido assasins creed hitman bloodmoney and arkham asylum


AVP kicks ass | 16 Feb 2010 18:19

This game should not get any bad reviews on the graphics i mean it looks Fucking amazing on my PC running it on a 5870 with directX11 it makes my mouth water 10/10 to the graphics

now for the console i guess it could get some :cry:


EpsilonOrpheon777 | 16 Feb 2010 18:19

That’s another thing i don’t understand! The graphics look amazing. At least in pics. And 9 times out of 10 pics are one thing, but when they’re in motion they look even better. So with that said i can’t figure out why the reviewers keep complaining about the graphics and textures when they look so amazing in still photos.


AvP 1-2 ftw... | 16 Feb 2010 18:46

Looking forward to getting this on friday through steam,, (although may have to wait till sat/sun for it download) “grumbles” :undecided: But i just hope it lives up to all the hype surrounding it. And, Does its gameplay compare to Half-Life 1-2, im sceptical it does.


HeRO2604 | 16 Feb 2010 20:06

the game has 38 reviews yet.

15 of them gave 80% and more, 15 where between 70-80%
and only 8 are below 70%. I think the bad reviews come from the non existing skills of the reviewers :grin: for me its about 84% because of some issues here and there but overall it makes fun and thats what counts. even on consoles its easy ton handle you just need some skill. btw: i prefer a pad even in shooters but only because of the keyboard. i hate to play with it, its good for writing but not for gaming. mouse=good / keyboard=bad :wink:


AJMARTINecu | 16 Feb 2010 20:26

I did not get my xbox exclusive gamestop skins :huh:


37smiles | 16 Feb 2010 20:31

just got my copy so ill post a review after i play it.but i played the demo and it was wonderful.all the beautiful blood and guts.all the memories.so if the demo is a reflection of the game its going to be perfect.fuck the reviews!this game was made for us.everyone else is retarded.


bloopy | 16 Feb 2010 22:33

:huh: :huh: difference between hunters and regular version :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:


oboy | 17 Feb 2010 00:58

Im a little pissed that sega didnt do this game with a beter developer……This game and franchise have everything there is needed to make a great expierence with a film or a game….but the fact is the people who are left in charge simply are not getting it done…..i love the franchises: the movies, the games, the comics, and the books…..but on this it definately feels like the ball keeps getting dropped. i bought the game and no matter what i willl play the shit out of it because i cant tell how the graphics are when it comes down to it. im also very easily entertained. but i really hope it generates enough revenue to make another attempt and maybe flaws will be fixed


Mr. Stizout | 17 Feb 2010 01:45

My only pet pev is no dedicated servers for PC !!!!


JediMasterGabe | 17 Feb 2010 01:55

Yea this game really is getting a variety of reviews. I mean we got from 2/5 to 9/10.

But thanks to gamestop and their Backordering, I dont know when i’ll be getting my Hunter Edition.


HeRO2604 | 17 Feb 2010 01:56

maybe their not up yet, but they will.


Xenomorphine | 17 Feb 2010 02:23

They weren’t combat synthetics (at least, in the way this game portrays them). One of them speaks with a fairly crude British accent as he forces a survivor out the exit. Any synthetics should have had better phrasing and methods.


JediMasterGabe | 17 Feb 2010 02:41

IGN just posted their review: 7/10 (Decent). Like some of the other reviews, they cited the graphics and some melee combat problems as the major flaws. But they liked the sound, multiplayer modes, and just cited overall the game wasn’t bad, it just had a few too many minor flaws.

So i think this is a pretty fair review and thus i continue to like IGN.


EpsilonOrpheon777 | 17 Feb 2010 03:59

Agreed.


Phantasm | 17 Feb 2010 04:42

Thing to consider, most or even all reviewers out there aren’t even familiar with alien/predator saga, all they know is that one has teeth; the other has weapons and they duel – end of story. Plus it has come to, that most reviewers have become mindless critics to scale up they’re popularity. It’s sad to see that the internet progressed to raise such degenerate methods for testing quality of products for the consumers.
My opinion is go old school,forget reviews or opinions and just get the game for your own experience.


Spoon | 17 Feb 2010 04:57

IGN is very biased so I’m very worried why there isn’t a review up. Im guessing its negative so they want people to own and play the game first before they bash it.
Same happened to reviews with first avp movie


fargin | 17 Feb 2010 05:30

i love the game, but im very unhappy with the “host left the game” no xp for you BS. makin me mad


Killer | 17 Feb 2010 05:32

are all weapons in avp2 in ap3 ??? minigun , granade lun ,, netgun .. etc


Hicks_0998 | 17 Feb 2010 05:35

ok question guys, mainly for the US citizens, is it better or worse than AvP1 or 2?


Hicks_0998 | 17 Feb 2010 05:36

as an aussie i dont get my copy till friday


Another Aussie | 17 Feb 2010 05:48

Hicks, Aussies get it tomorrow. Or at least EB Games and everywhere else I’ve seen says Thursday.


CONKERSBADFURDAY | 17 Feb 2010 05:59

I’m not really surprised by the reviews. I was hoping for an amazing super awesome special game that would get 10′s all around, but the cynic in me knew that wouldn’t come. The gameplay just isn’t for everybody, and it does have quite the learning curve.

With that being said, I’m loving it to death and I’ll be telling anyone that asks to pick it up. The multiplayer is jolly good fun!

But what pisses me off is the IGN US review. A 7 isn’t bad, but I watched the video review and the guy was dissing some of the game mechanics yet not utilizing the focus mode at all. “The alien moves too fast and you sometimes run right by people” yeah if you’re a bad.

The game has a learning curve, but it isn’t THAT steep.

This game appeals to the fans, and like others have said, we already knew if we were going to get it or not. The reviews don’t totally surprise me, but at the same time, you can’t compare this game to some of the other shooters out there. It’s different. It’s supposed to be different. And once you get used to the mechanics it’s great fun.


Hicks_0998 | 17 Feb 2010 06:41

Yeah mate but i ordered the hunter edition for pc lol :grin:


LilSaint | 17 Feb 2010 06:54

This game is great and i don’t care what anyone says!!! If Rebellion takes care of all the so called “minor flaws” the next game will get Game of the Year! :grin:


LilSaint | 17 Feb 2010 07:04

@CONKERSBADFUDAY
I totally agree with you and those who don’t like AVP are really missing out on some fun!!!


Another Aussie | 17 Feb 2010 10:11

Where’d you order the hunter edition from? I ordered it as well and I’m picking it up Thursday arvo.

Looking forward to doing a few facehugger pranks as well. :evil:


Light | 17 Feb 2010 10:52

The people that made such a bad review are the same retarded idiots that gave 10/10 for GTA4(witch was a really shit game).
I guess they like to play COD all the time and they like to listen Britney Spears… so their pointless opinion means nothing to me…


zbyszek | 17 Feb 2010 11:21

I dont see how 7/10 would be a negative score?
