Lol im loving the fact that all people are bithiching about GI's review.
Some points the review makes are valid and that re-view of the review is just as bad.
Okay so were an AVP fan forum here, so if you shit down the games neck were going to get narky (understandably) thats where the problem lies.
if the guy who rote it has not played AVP/AVP2/watched the movies he stands in a non-biast position, we dont have that so dont shoot the guy down in flames.
Quote"The human marine section (he is speaking of the campaign here) is set up like a survival horror FPS. There are a few good scares within these corridors, but after getting locked inside a room and having to fight off a horde of Xenomorphs for the 100th time, the repetition drowns the experience. It doesn't help that your flashlight is as useful at lighting up dark corners as a laser pointer."
Okay look at it, hes pointing out that is a generic get trapped shoot shoot shoot part of the game, as far as i have read from reviews the marine take ups half of the play time, so your now trapped with 6 hours of opening doors getting trapped shooting aliens, escapoing getting red key 11 for med lab 78 and low and behold trapped locked in shooting aliens.
Boring as hell, cmon i bet you get bored with asteroids / killing king cooper / getting mashed up by the physic guy in MGS ?
maby its possible hes just giving it a low score because hes going to be kissing Bad company 2's ass when it releases, but as far as im conserned that does the same thing all the other games did with shiney graphics oh and that brings me ot my point thats all this version of avp does, it does the same thing nigh on that AVP/AVP2 did with shiney graphics ( mind you we all know they are not even that shiney ).
Im dissopointed to see that the alien play time is 2-3 hours, they claimed MW2 whould be about 10 hours ame play on the hard mode i stopmed through it in 4 hours. . . . so the alien section will take me around 1 hour and a half.
Then 50% of the game is the marine ( as far as reviews have said ) thats cool but then we have got the predator with a meer 3-4 hours gameplay, that stinks for a big franchise like this dont you think ? good job some of us are getting the hunter packs when were waiting to join a game lobby we can play with our face huggers and when we have finished the game we can spend more time than the whole game MIGHT take to know our toy facehugger intimatly.
im like the films the games the books, but maby it is just going to be an average game nothign ground breaking it dioes what fan boys want and because of this the general gaming community will get little from it, just because we want it because we love the idea the franchise the previous games, is not to say if the 9 million gamers ( or howmany of us there are ) are going to eat it up like GTA/MW2/SIMS.
I hope its not as bad as the GI reviews makes out, but my expectations is a AVP2 game with shiney bits and better multiplayer, and i did not think AVP2 was that good the story was utter shit, and some of the ideas where bollocks, MP saved it.
