I got tired of this game after playing it for ten minutes. It was just awful. The whole environment was uninspired and forced. Don’t buy it! I urge you: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! IT IS NO FUN AT ALL!

Demo:
After playing the Marine Demo, I see that Sierra has tried to follow Fox Interactive’s initiative with a sequel to the game. The alien, the predator, and the marine are all there, with MORE. But when they added more they also took away. In AvP, when you were one of the species, the other species looked like they were made of similar graphics. In sierra’s version, the marine was in full detail, complete with hacker’s tool and shoulder lamp (which I like), but the aliens were weird little moving things and not as good as the original AvP, where the Alien looked like it was out of the movie. This game is from the creators of half-life and all those, so go figure.

Update:
Full Game:
But, it is a fun game, and long game-play due viewing the different storylines of 3 different playable species.
The Predator: most fun of the 3 species to play, plenty of weapons, can jump really high (just like the movie, this was missing in Fox’s version). Definitely gooood fun getting trophies, etc.
Alien: very fast gameplay, and a lot of sneaking around and weird camera angles due to climbing all over the walls.
Marine: very fun due to the weapons and tools and trying to help your buddies.
The game saves as you go along, but you can also save whenever you want. (Kinda helps if there are facehuggers around).
A def. positive of this game is the facehuggers don’t spook the hell out of you by disappearing then wrapping around the monitor screen like in Fox’s version. In this one you’ll see/hear it leap towards your face.
Definitely try this game out if you’re an AvP fan. It stays true to the series/movies. Also try Primal Hunt for some more fun, it’s a Mission Pack add-on that gives 3 more angles to the story. (Mercenary, Ancient Predator, Pred-Alien)

Don’t ever buy this game, it’s very boring. The animation …, too. It just looks like you guy is skooting along the ground. And the balance is no good. Preds can cloak, and to make it worse, they can regenerate their energy any stinkin’ time they want! The marines always die in one shot, only have one alternate vision mode (and it’s no good). The Aliens can walk on walls, but every time they charge to kill someone, they get killed in a couple shots, and they are still usually about a mile away from their foe. Again, don’t … buy this game, as did my friend. IF you wanna good game, check out MechWarrior 4. It kicks …

I had gotten this game the day it came out. Since then i’ve beaten the alien levels 13 times, predator 17, and marines 7. There were a tremendous number of slow-downs, and the graphics need a huge update, mostly the character models. The sound effects and voice acting are stunning, most of the time. The ships that occasionally fly above your head when your a predator are awesome! The predator’s special visions are cool to have. I found the predator campaign to be much to easy! There are cheat codes for this game, but they don’t work for the alien. The graphical chugging is the main issue. I’ve had to restart my computer at least 30 times because of this game! The gore in the game is pretty realistic but cool. Overall this game is mostly fun but won’t give that much gameplay. If you want cheat codes for this game try cheat planet.com. And remember, watch LOST.

This game has a couple really innovative, interesting features, and big name franchise monsters. So it had a great start.
But the implementation was… horrendous.
Unlike most first person shooters, this game tends strongly towards one hit kills, both towards you and towards your opponents. This basically means that you will find yourself dying frequently until you can memorize exactly where the machine gunners, et cetera, are, and take them out quickly and more or less instantly before they retaliate. The gradual health decrease thing? Doesn’t exist here. You make a mistake, you die. And very often, “mistakes” come in the form of not having luckily guessed which random passage is the one that leads behind the enemy, or having read a walkthrough first. In addition to bad design of combat, this is bad design of levels.
In fact, speaking of bad level design, I couldn’t complete the very first Predator mission without consulting a walkthrough. How sad is that?
Climbing on walls and ceilings as an alien is incredibly fun… until you figure out how hard it is to pounce on something from a perspective that switches once you stop clinging to the wall or ceiling. Oh, and it’s not so good for sneaking around, either, as humans in this game can look way up and don’t seem to be fooled by shadows much.
In addition to all this, this FPS has the worst multiplayer I have ever seen. The Predator race is vastly more powerful than the other two, and the aliens in particular are practically cannon fodder against them, since the predators can see them clearly in one of their vision modes and blow them away long before they get close enough to pounce. Humans (real ones, unlike the AI ones) can’t see quite as well, and have actual limited (as opposed to the effectively infinite Predator) ranged ammo, but no real advantages to make up for this. The aliens? They can, uh, climb walls and stuff. And it’s really cool for you to do, really it is, but it’s not gonna help you survive at all.
Even heat vision, wall-climbing, and a couple cool monsters aren’t enough to keep this game from sucking very badly in the gameplay area compared to Half-Life or even Doom. If you want to experience the fun innovative features, try the demo. But don’t buy the game, it’s a waste of money.
