Sega was kind enough to provide me with a copy of Aliens vs. Predator to review. I went into the review looking at the game through the eyes of a casual gamer and an AvP fan and here is what I found:
“Rebellion could have fallen into the trap of just letting the campaign be another generic shooter but if there’s one thing these guys know, it’s how to make you crap your pants. The tension and atmosphere that Rebellion injects into the marine campaign make it something special. It’s the updated Colonial Marine experience I’ve been waiting for and it delivers. Oh boy, does it deliver.”
The game isn’t without it’s faults though; an extremely thin Aliens campaign and sometimes poor multiplayer but overall I really enjoyed the game. The different gameplay styles work fantastically on the controller and it just looks so beautiful. Thanks once again to Sega for the copy and thanks to Rebellion for the game. Be sure to check out my review.
it was like playing alien trilogy and whats with the tunnel vision view
Must be your connection cause I'm finding games well quick. Last night I had to wait about a minute for a game but it was really late at night and I had youtube playing a vid on my laptop. Thats one thing good about the game imo - finds games quick! The only really bad thing to do with games and connections is theres no host migration.
Me and some mates got the six friends achivement 2 days ago and were put into a game within 20 seconds.
predator vision sucks
just need dedicated servers and the game will be on the way up. plus a decent patch.
7.8/10
Wish the Alien was as long as the other campaigns though!
rebellion has ruined a great title in multiplayer anywayz can never get a full ranked game and quick match takes 20 mins to find a game. truly disappointing
Well it would be if they would let us host as i cant .Any1 know how?
cough dam u sega for rushing the game out without finishing this game.
ps if ur joining or hosting a MP game stay till it fin nor fk off half way thro!
Great review!
I love the Alien environments but found the previous games didn't use the Predator enough when it came to level design.
I do think its strange that they took out the 2 Alien influenced levels for DLC, instead of one of each.
The ranked matches definately need work and they need to release the DLC maps already so I can play the ones I got with the Collecters Edition ^^
'Maybe Rebbelion will make a patch to fix that litle problem... for PC version'
Wanted to comment on this as it seems a lot of PC gamers think that we don't get fixes\patches\updates on consoles - so glad we do
Lets hope they start rolling something out to fix the few flaws that everyone seems to agree on (stealth kill distance, smart disk etc)
I am more or less pissed about the stupidity of giving Xenomorhp vision mode to half game for Predator !!!! He is on a hunt !!
Maybe Rebbelion will make a patch to fix that litle problem... for PC version.
where are the DLC updates? where are the fixes? Do they exist?
games out 2 weeks mate........
The game is deserving of such a score, personally I would give it higher. IMO Fox messed up by giving AvP2 to another dev, so I really want Rebellion onboard for any sequel.
The gaming club here already boycotted the game because the company has not really clarified any news on servers and updates. Our retail stores refuse to take in the game just yet. Im not kidding, MW2 suffered here because of matchmaking, and the gaming comunity here isn't interested in making another mistake. If they actually went their way and make an AVP sequal without fixing and contirbuting to the current, i won't be surprise Rebbelion loses a good amount business and reputation.
I'll be playing this for months and really hope they release DLC.
I can see why some may not like it but its just a game you need to learn fast at.
Sequel & DLC please............
Hope Rebs don't make another. If SEGA / FOX really want to do a sequel then they should pass the licence onto another developer IMO.
