First Aliens vs Predator review surfaces from Game Informer: Ouch? 5.75

Game Informer have taken the time to play the new Aliens vs Predator game, and apparently they aren't too happy with it. Awarding it an abysmal 5.75/10.

[Johandevries]

Where is the Rebellion I have made love to, a long time ago?

[Droid Smasha]

crap game is crap

[zagibu]

Yeah, sad affair. Oh, well, I guess we'll unbury AvP2 for our next LAN-party.

[Johandevries]

.. see more reviews first though

Except for some nice cover stories, Game Informer sucks anyway. They don't even mention the PC version in the scan. And remember, Aliens vs Predator has one HUGE PC heritage.

[deadpoole]

I seriosuly Got no clue ... Game Informers must be shroomin. This game requires skills to play.

-Marine: Simply scary and exhilirating expereince u can get playin this game ... Predators and Aliens jumpin at you from no where. You got to be good and I mean really really good with aiming, otherwise yr survival will be impossible. I play using marine specie and usually acquire 1 or 2 place in most matches. Unreal Tournament is what best describes its gameplay example.

-Predator: Stealthy ... hiding at top locations and overviewing whats happening below. Shoulder cannon simply kills enemies in instant. Big jump feature is simply amazing get behind enemies and rip their head off.

-Aliens: I've seen people playing with aliens ... u can't kill Alien at all if you know how to play with this specie. Ive seen Aliens running into next corridor and literally disappearing out of yr sight and next thing u know being stabbed from back.

I swear to GOD ... Ive played game demos and this by far entertains me alot, it gives me a fresh experience.

[young juice]

didn't rebellion promise this game wouldn't be another 'rogue warrior' or 'shellshock 2'.

[Blaze929]

KIND of expected scores like this...

[Bungie]

yeah, the demo wasn't all that special IMO

[UnwanteDreamz]

I am still on the fence. I will go home tonight and download the demo.

[DirtyLary]

Agree it is below average at best.

Gameplay feels like I'm in an old Quake 3 arena. Just run around in circles around the map. Try to get behind someone first and hit the blue button for that insta kill. I was soo bored after a match or two.

[Raz]

The demo is strictly multiplayer, and it's a ghost town. Couldn't even play it. You may be logged in for hours before you find others to play with; I didn't bother waiting that long.

Why is this franchise inevitably butchered? It could have been the next Starcraft.

[PoSTedUP]

i dont listen to reviews anymore. they gave army of two 40th day a 6.50 and i totally disagree with that. it sounded like they don't know how to play games.

im starting to see a trend by me buying underrated/unpopular games and having the most fun with them. a game dosen't have to be AAA for me to really like and enjoy it.

[reaferfore20]

Army of 2 wasn't as good as I thought it'd be granted I only played the demo. The cover system was too annoying for me IMO. I loved the customization of the guns tho.

[SilentNegotiator]

Wow, and Game Informer usually isn't very harsh, either...

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Shellshock 2 was Strike One.
Rogue Warrior was Strike Two.
This is Strike Three.

RIP Rebellion

[ShadowRyuX]

the review community as a whole has become a lot more harsh in its scoring since 2010. I think this may be in part to the huge surge of games and the poor economy. So instead of giving a 9 to everything that is somewhat playable, they will be giving 6s, like it should have been from the start.

[IrishAssa]

I love the demo now, maybe because im owning people, last game I got a 17 killstreak with Predator. Won a match with Marine by 6 points and with Alien by 3 points.

I can't believe im playing death match so much, I normally hate DM and probably won't play it again when the full game is out.

[Teabag]

If the demo is anything to go by, then this really is quite a poor game.

The graphics are most definitely last gen, and even that it being generous. I thought I was playing Doom on the PS1.

Now graphics aren't everything, but there is a level that you come to expect and it is too jarring when they are so below par.

Of course, the more important thing is gameplay. But again, this gameplay might have been fine 10 years ago, but now it is such a massive step back from what you would expect in a FPS to be laughable.

Even though I wasn't hopeful after seeing a couple of gameplay videos, I was still keen to download the demo - but was heavily disappointed.

It's a shame because the basic concept is very good, but the implementation is simply too poor.

One thing that a game like this does do, is make you realise that it really must take a lot to make a good FPS (or any other game). I dumped the AVP demo and went on to BFBC2, which is a world apart in every sense.

I don't know if the difference is talent, or money/resources, or something else - but if a team of experienced professionals can make AVP, then it just goes to show how the teams that make BFBC, MW, MAG and KZ really are amazing.

[darthv72]

I think Sega should try and remake the one for the Atari Jaguar. I really liked that one from back then. I actually tried playing it again recently and aside from the look, it plays like crap (super slooooowwwww). A revamp of that one would be nice on psn/live

The multiplayer in this one looks to be such fun though. Shame on the score but it deserves a try.

[PoSTedUP]

graphics aren't as bad as you were saying, last gen? me and my friend played for about 30 mins and had so much fun that we came to the conclution that we are getting it day one.

it is unique. it follows what AVP is all about, as a huge preditor and AVP fan they did everything right in this game. playing as an alien is real crazy you can bite heads off and crap, stick the dude in the eye with your tail etc. climb on walls and make noises to confuse people. preditor has a whole boat load of cool weapons and features too, you really feel like the preditor its badass, everything is on point.

i can't wait to play the story line 3 different ways also, this is just my take on the game from the demo and to compare it graphically the graphics are better than MAG's (not to say mag is a bad game) but better than mags and not as good graphically as bfbc2.

it is something different and i am not going to miss out on any more good fun games like this, i have been doing that for 5 years bc of listining to reviews and the media. rent it bc you might like it and be glad that you did.

[Bnet343]

I predicted 6's and 7's after playing the demo.

[JBaby343]

Graphics aren't terrible but they're not UC2 either. The MP gives an interesting twist because of the differences in the characters you can play. I have high hopes for playing the SP in 3 different ways.

All in all this score seems a bit low.

[Ravage27]

this is one of those games that tries something different and i REALLY hate to see it fail.

[Rockox]

I'm a huge Aliens fan, so no bad reviews are going to prevent me from picking this game up. I just hope I like it.

[FragGen]

Based on the PS3 demo not even working on release, and it being handled by SEGA who have boned other PS3 stuff, I'm guessing this'll be a trainwreck on consoles (or maybe just the PS3). If I do pick this up I may wait for a sale on Steam and go PC instead of the 360 or PS3 for this title.

I'm glad I didn't get sucked in on a pre-order for this... I still have the original PC game and it was EPIC at the time so I almost impulse pre-ordered when I first saw it announced.

[IrishAssa]

Seems kind of weird, the review, Sound-would be good if motion tracker wasn't going off the whole time? Sound is great and only one class has the tracker. Replay-low? It has Mp it should atleast be medium replay value when single player games get alright replay value.
No focus on MP which is the biggest selling point too, most previews say the Mp is good

[IrishAssa]

Can't edit -- It seems like he's pissed that it isn't Call of Duty

[Adexus]

The review itself is terrible and short, he basically just says everything is crap without giving specific reasons why, I will wait for other reviews to come in although I never rely on reviews and I'm loving the demo at the minute.

[ryuzu]

Not sure why this discussion of MAG/BFBC2 is here but whatever lol

OK, AvP is looking a bit poor which is a shame since there is a cool game in this IP somewhere...

MAG I've played about 30 hours of - it's v. good.

BFBC2 I did PS3 beta, now PC beta and PS3 demo. It doesn't seem that good unfortunately. I have the PC version on pre-order but I think I'll cancel - I don't think I'll play it enough to bother with.

Problem with BFBC2 is big maps and not enough people in them even in the full game. MAG doesn't have this problem lol.

As for graphics - yeah the destructable env is nice to have in BFBC2 despite its limitations - other than that the graphics are only OK and use a lot of lighting effects to mask poor texturing. Overall I'd say they're about on par with MAG once you take the HDR/Bloom effects out of the equation - in exchange you get 256 players in MAG and a better game too.

And no proning in BFBC2 - what is this 2000?

Not a popular opinion I guess but there you go. If you've only got a 360... well sorry 'bout that you're SOL, just get BFBC2.

r.

[Ravage27]

the maps are a lttle too big for the player count imo

[Chnswdchldrn]

wow this game does not deserve a 5.75 outa f@cking 10...what are they thinking?

seems like the reviewer was either playing it on console or just plain sucked at it, very un-fair review.

[VileAndVicious]

After that fiasco of a review they did for MAG Im not inclined to believe anything they say. From my brief time with just the multiplayer free for all demo it seemed pretty good. It harkened back to the old FPS era for me... no auto aim assist or looking down the sights I enjoyed it. But seriously both IGN and GameInformer can kiss my a$$.

[Two-Face]

MAG is a bad game.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is much better, and they both are about tactics and teamwork.

[VileAndVicious]

I actually just played the BBC2 demo and I have to say I was not all that impressed(And by the way the graphics are pretty damn bad). MAG is an excellent game and Ive had countless hours of entertainment with it so far and I do not regret buying it. MAG may not be YOUR cup of tea or you just haven't actually played it I get that. But surely sir it does not suck.

About a month ago I was sure I would buy BBC2 too in March; now I know I Definitely will not be. Its just a game (that in some respects is good. Especially cool that you can blow sh!t up) that is seriously over hyped. I actually traded in my copy of MW2 becuase (now I cant stand it)I thought BBC2 would be the second coming. Silly me for jumping on the hype train =)
Of course all of this is subjective and merely my opinion (as all reviews are) and my thoughts are reflected through my experiences.

[Two-Face]

You say that the graphics are pretty bad, but the graphics are much bettar than MAG.

If BF: BC2 graphics are bad, then MAG graphics must be pretty much horrible.

[OpenGL]

Isn't this in the same issue where they give Battlefield: Bad Company 2 a 9.5? Funny how they would award a game that is trying so desperately to be like Call of Duty such a high score. I personally was turned off by the Bad Company 2 demo and enjoyed the PC AvP demo quite a bit, but I suppose we'll have to wait for more reviews and the final game.

@ 3.3
Yeah, I thought the graphics were absolutely awful on the console versions of Bad Company 2 due to the lack of anti-aliasing. They need at least 2x anti-aliasing, as right now the jaggies make the game unbearable.

[Two-Face]

BULLSHIT MATE.

Bad Company 2 is nothing like MW2.

Bad Company 2 has destructible enviroments. Check.
Bad Company 2 has plenty of vehicles. Check.
Bad Company 2 has heavy feel, when it comes to controls. Check.
Bad Company 2 has much bigger maps, and it focuses heavenly on strategy and teamwork. Check.

Dumbest thing I have ever heard.

[beans]

Haven't played MAG to judge it but BAD COMPANY 2 after playing the demo really didn't grab me like part 1. Good game but just not for me.

[OpenGL]

Okay, calling it a Call of Duty imitator may have been a bit unfair, but the game simply feels like a step backwards after having played Battlefield 2 for years. Quasi-destructible environments don't do it for me when every other aspect of the game is inferior to their previous PC installments.

[reaferfore20]

I played mag until level 7 last night then moved to the BC demo. I can honestly say I had more fun playing MAG. One more level till I can play with 255 other people!!!!

[BattleAxe]

MAG isn't a bad game, but I am personally looking forward to BF:BC2. To whoever said that BF:BC2 has bad graphics, are you sure you played the demo? The graphics are a bit better than MW2, but not as good as Uncharted or Killzone2.

[IrishAssa]

I don't MAG is a great game but it is worth the buy, it's fun and your never looking for anyone to shoot, there's always someone, Bad Company 2 is just like the first and it is boring me now, Battlefield 2 is the king of those games IMO, it's just brillant, 64 players is enough, it had jets and everything.

[VileAndVicious]

BBC2 graphics in single player are quite good your right, however in multiplayer they are pretty horrible. The down scale is VERY noticable. Standing far away from objects you might not notice it. But as you move closer to walls you'll notice the textures are off, everything gets jaggy, even the foliage looks like a paper cut out. They aren't the worst Ive seen but the point I was trying to make earlier is that in all these reviews of MAG everyone states the the graphics are horrendous and shameful. But at the same time they are just as comparable if not better than the graphics in BBC2. Conversely once the reviews for BBC2 start pouring in Im sure they will negate to mention any of this.

[ClownBelt]

It deserves it.

[AnttiApina]

Before all maggots start to say "this did not deserve rating X.X. They must be crazy"

Please understand that they have played the FULL GAME unlike you. They know more about the game right now so please stop posting the idiotic comments.

5.7 is not Abysmal, 1.0 to 3.0 is.

Also, this is made by Rebellion, the original creators of AvP, but also some horrid games like the recent ShellShock 2 or Raven Squad.

[BattleAxe]

This day in age 5.7/10 is abysmal. Any game that gets below a 7/10 is usually off my radar.

[Throwaway2020]

I'm definately still waiting for more reveiws personally.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

OK because you say so. The consensus here is 5.75 is the toilet of scores.

[ClownBelt]

Game informer is being nice. I'd give this game much lower score.

[Obama]

I am not that surprised judging from the demo although 5.75 seems a bit harsh.

[VileAndVicious]

It is harsh.

[Gen0ne]

I downloaded for PS3/360 and they were both equally mediocre. I dunno about the 5.75, but I was unimpressed. Kinda glad actually, I'm 60 dollars richer.

Edit: Why no single player demo? Making me play multi only turned me off to the experience as a whole. Should've released a timed single player demo for each class and one level for multi. Now I'm disinterested.

[thabigboss]

regardless of the score im buying this game for pc it seems awesome if you ask me.

[ian72]

With Rogue Warrior and Shellshock2 I thought it would get mediocre reviews. Lets hope this review is a one off and the game is quite good.

[ElementX]

Bargain bin purchase or rental. I'm a huge fan of Aliens, and Predator is pretty cool also. Have you heard about the Predator movie remake?

[Amiroo]

the screenshots looks tribble ! but why 5.75 ?

[Ares84PS3]

The reviewer has no clue about this franchise at all.

[Raoh]

thank god, i already had too many games on my must play list, wallet starting to get a bit thin LOL

[chidori666]

already expected this ..

so very generic this game.

[Bathyj]

Dammit, this pisses me off and I'll tell you why.

I really wanted a single player demo of this. I have it pre ordered for a first day pick up, for no other reason than I'm a Alien, Predator (movie) fan, and I want it to be good. But without a demo I have no real way of knowing.

This site could be trying to be like Edge, acting pretensious and being overly harsh like their standads are really high, but really all they're doing is misguiding peoples opinion of how good the game is.

Is that the case here? Who knows. I guess I'll still get it, thank God for EBs 7 day return policy, which I dont like to use if I dont have to.

[Jamescagney]

Yeah I love the Aliens and Predator films, with the exception of the Aliens VS Predator films that is.

I think that any game developers that take on the license have an obligation to make it as good as possible. They have so much to work with, anything below a great game is a kick in the teeth for the fans.

I'm hoping this is just a bad review as opposed to being a good review of a bad game.

We'll have to wait and see.

[iamgoatman]

I agree.

I was really hoping for a single player demo, a chance to experience the game at my own pace. I was annoyed to say the least when it was announced it was a multiplayer only demo, seeing as I don't have the connection speed it pretty much eliminated any chance to test the game before purchasing.

I'll probably end up getting it anyway, being a big fan of the Alien and Predator films, I just hope reviews like this are way off the mark.

[BattleAxe]

For the last 2 days I tried to play the demo for PSN, but I couldn't even find a match to play, so I just deleted it. A single player demo would have made more sense.

[KillerPwned]

Still its just one of those games that at least deserves a rent. I was kinda expecting it to get at least decent scores.

[Kushan]

As with everyone else, I'm skeptical about the review score due to the circumstances behind it, but to be perfectly honest Rebellion's track record lately has been pretty awful so I wouldn't be THAT surprised at a score like this.
Still, fingers crossed that the game is actually good.

[Timesplitter14]

Well that's the impression I was left with after playing the demo.

The gameplay is choppy and the level design is TERRIBLE

[Double Toasted]

...FAKE!!! LOL!

[slaymanio]

This review is fake you cant even find it on www.gameinformer.com this is bullcrap.

[MGOelite]

its from a magazine

[iamgoatman]

I can't take a review seriously when they say something "sucks" then fail to explain why. Oh, and the predator is too focused on stealth? You'd think with a statement like that he hadn't actually seen the films themselves, and just got the jist from a wiki page.

Theres been a lot of mixed reactions so far, most based on a demo though. I've seen people say the whole game is terrible because they couldn't find a match due to the connection problems, people who haven't even played the damn game.

I'll wait for some more reviews to surface first, then I'll probably buy the game anyway because I'm a huge fan of both franchises.

[geth1gh]

Beeing such a huge fan of the avp computer games, I hope to god they are wrong. I will still be buying it the day it comes out.

Still can't freaking connect to any games in the demo, don't know why (ps3 demo). Every other mp demo/game works find.

[d10sfan]

Noone here has played the full game so how do you know that it dosent deserve this score? From what I saw from the demo, it deserves something low.

[lucifon]

I've been loving the MP demo. Initially my impressions were super negative but it takes a few hours to actually learn how to play each race, then things start to get ALOT more fun. Problem is the demo is only deathmatch. Me and a buddy have done some team up matches with 6 players, where 3 marines vs 3 aliens and just simply be careful not to hit each other with it still being deathmatch :P It's great fun! Theres not much else out there like it for multiplayer

It seems the reviewer played the MP portion for a very short period of time, after speaking about it for 1 paragraph. Sounds alot like the guy just simply didn't dig it and therefore didn't put too much time in.

[DigitalAnalog]

And waited for over 10 minutes with NOBODY to play with.........

-End statement

[Handhelds_FTW]

had someone who watched the movies review the game.

In the review he complains that you have kill aliens over and over as a marine, and that that the Predator has a heavy focus on stealth and is limited with melee, he goes as far to say that the Alien being able to walk on walls is a bad thing because is caused him disorientation.

What a joke of a review.

[sam2236]

The reviewer complains about the Predator using stealth, the Alien wall-walking and the Marine's motion tracker?!! What a load of bollocks. He doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. I bet he hasn't seen the movies or played the previous games.

I hope the idiot gets fired, he shouldn't be playing or 'reviewing' (If you can call this piece of sh!t a review) videogames.

EDIT:

"Good thing these Marines never figured out how to look up."

I'm sorry, what? What the hell does that even mean?

[Flare149]

The demo really wasn't anything special. I don't know about the Marines (although all the Marine players quit) but it seemed pretty unbalanced since the Aliens could crawl everywhere and are melee based, which wouldn't be a big deal but the Predators have to find all their weapons before they can use them and they have cruddy invisibility. If the Predators had full invisibility, more like Resistance 2 instead of Halo, then I feel like it might be a little more balanced if only because without any starting weapons they're often left blundering around trying to knife people (which isn't even a one hit kill)

[lucifon]

Marine players quit...? Not seen this myself. Considering you choose your species.

[redsquad]

Still interested in playing AvP, especially as I don't give a fig about multiplayer. I'll wait for a far broader concensus than this.

[lucifon]

Multiplayers the best bit. I have no doubt the sp will be distinctly average, with them being split across doing 3 campaigns it's bound to suffer. And by the sounds of this review the guy barely touched the MP, he writes a small paragraph on it.

[redsquad]

Well, I was going by the comments here more, to be honest - A lot of people seemed to be dismissing the game based on the MP element of the demo.

[Kurylo3d]

this review is a joke....

The game is awesome. Probably one of the best fps games ive played in a long time. Gameplay like no other. Think they just hatin on it cause they suck. Different type of fps... one that actually has combat that you have to learn how to use. Like the brawling with aliens and predators... or the really cool moves u can pull over as a predator or alien.

[Tron_Rocks]

I being a huge fan of Aliens and a fan of the previous 2 aliens games from Rebellion sincerely hope this reviewer has it totally wrong. This does however change my pre-order preconceptions I had for this game. I will have to wait for other reviews that I trust come out. It's a shame a REAL shame if this game is indeed junk.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Damn. And Game Informer is one of the best gaming publications there is.

[Nikuma]

I hope you're kidding.

[FwanK]

Im still trying to play the Demo...

[Alan Wake]

maybe more than Heavy Buttons

[ssipmraw]

Fail
Aliens vs. Predator (Multi) – 5.75
Heavy Rain (PS3) – 9.5 / 8.5
http://www.nintendoeverythi...

[xg-ei8ht]

You just don't do it for me, Wa pish. Down Boy(jim carrey)

Seriously though, i'd like to test the PS3 demo, but it does not connect to a game. I've tried for 2days.

I connect all the time to BFBC2 and i've just d/l the Heavy Rain demo.

It's not my end.

Do not release a product, demo or beta unless people can play the game.

You dont do yourselves any favours.

For the full game, i'd really have to see some proper sp action. All i've seen is kills from silly angles.

[robtion]

The demo doesn't make a great first impression but once you get used to using each of the 3 species and their unique strengths it is great fun to play. I'll be picking this up on day 1.

Other gameinformer scores if your interested:
BattlefieldBC2: 9.5
Heavy Rain: 9.5
Bioshock 2: 8.3
Dante's Inferno: 7.0
MAG: 7.0

[Volomon]

The review is just based on the reviewers skill. He complains that he's disoriented when playing as the Alien, complains that Predator has to stealth to much. The guy plain and simply is a freaking moron.

The game is at MINIMUM an 8. I would even go so far as to make it an 8.5 the combat system is impressive and deep. Far more so than many others.

The DEMO does not give it justice because no one has a chance to adapt before they are raped. Also DeathMatch is the LEAST innovative.

It's worth a buy don't even look at the GI review unless you want to laugh at this guys clear lack of skill.

[willjoea]

This score doesn't really surprise me as after playing the demo, I came away very disappointed. I had really high hopes for this one, but ultimately it seems to be a rental at best...

[Fragger2k8]

That score is a joke. Was it reviewed by someone who has never played a game before, or under the age of 13? I'm not even going to bother trying to read the review, but whoever wrote and scored it that low is a moron. Just by playing the demo it's at least worthy of an 8.

Here's some of my pro's and con's:

Pro's:
- Multiplayer is extremely fun
- Pretty well balanced between all 3 classes
- Each class plays differently, and are all fun to use
- The graphics are pretty nice
- The kills are satisfying
- Controls feel good, mostly*
- Takes skill to play, especially for the Aliens

Con's:
- Some sounds, like the main gun, are kind of 'meh'
- *Marines fire and alt fire need to be R1 and L1 on PS3
- Needs some sort of way for you to try and counter or fight someone off that uses the quick action kill on you (don't remember what it's called)
- Although sometimes humorous, using quick action kills can almost turn into a conga line
- Takes skill to play, so most people won't ever pick the game up

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

Poor Review

[frankymv]

Demo looks abysmal

[FelicityOldGamer]

I prefer!!!

:)

[likeaboss302]

After playing the demo I'm not surprised it got a bad review.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

It deserves a score like this. Rebellion dumbed this game into oblivion. They should have copied the old gameplay of avp1 and 2 from the pc. This game should be an embarrassment for rebellion.

[Morgue]

Although that was 14 years ago & still have mine in the big plastic box.

Not a lot of detail in the review to justify the score. Apart from detailing the number of slashes required to kill marines he just thinks it sucks. Personal opinion I guess but back up some claims.

[cobhatecrew]

wow get the pc demo and theres no wait time for games.. ive put tons of hours into the demo. And at first i didnt know the controls good enough so i got pwned, but after a while getting the hang of things the game is very fun.

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

I still havent gotten in the demo game yet...

[mrbillybadass]

what a hack review...just terrible...pred gameplay is too stealthy?...u should hear the uproar about this review...reviewer will probably lose his job...oh well other reviews will be very very positive...just wait

[prettyboy1]

calm down guy its jus 1 review

[prettyboy1]

OUCH

[finbars75]

I disagree with this review strongley.I doubt they even played the whole game yet.Thats what pi$$es me off.The demo was in the early stages first of all and if your not willing to master being the alien predator or soldier then go and find another boring fps game informer.This game gives you a chance to try something new not just go out and shoot things with a gun.heaven for bid you actually play the game more then once which is what it sounds like.Lame written all over this article.This game to me should get a 8/10 when it comes out.The game will be fine but gameinformer not so good.

[SmyD Bitty]

Ok. The graphics are fine. Whoever said it looks like a PS1 game is nuts. I honestly think the graphics are awesome. You complained about it being to dark? Serious? Someone said the level design was awful? How so..its a pretty basic level with high and low areas, I enjoy it.

I have not had any problems finding games and love the demo. For those who cant find a game then thats not good, but I have never had a problem finding one. Once you get used to the controls the game is great. If you actually try playing the game, instead of trying to do the one button kills, then you would enjoy yourself. Yet you make a bad experience for yourself by doing the one button kills, and then complain about one button kills, even though MW2 has them, BFBC2 has them, and Halo has them..they are just faster, but no different. You then complain about getting killed during them, well, thats totally fair, why would you be invincible during the kill? Thats retarted.

The reviewer has no knowledge of the past AvP games, the Alien or Predator movies, or anything really. Practically no mention of the MP mode that is a huge part of this game, and it sounds as though he played 5 minutes of each campaign and then stopped. Poorly written review no matter what the socre.

Also, the game code for the demo is VERY old..nearly a year. Final game will look better and run smoother. Also, CORE made Rogue Warrior and Shellshock. They also made Tomb Raider back in 1996. When they went under Rebellion was handed the games when they were nearly complete, and released them. Not only that but the teams that finished those had NOTHING to do with this game, the dev teams werent even in the same office building. Rebellion has made good games, AvP1, a rainbow six, rogue trooper, sniper elite and other games that were recieved well but not known by many.

I think any gamer with a brain will not use this review to base their opinion on the game.

There is nothing worse when someone reads a review like this and says "EPIC FAIL", "I KNEW IT WOULD SUCK" !

I cannot believe that review was allowed to be published, it is very poor, and doesn't really explain alot, the only thing it does let me know is the reviewer really doesn't have a clue about all the different species, and how they work.

I will wait for more reviews from decent sites, and see what they have to say, and like most games, I always hire them out first, that way you get to try before you buy. I'm still looking forward to it, as I was a big fan of the first 2 games on the PC, especially the SP mode, which was pretty cool with the 3 different aspects (of each species) of the story.

I have just played the demo, has anyone noticed how short the Predator is? And I checked he was not crouching lol

Don't use this review to determine if you buy the game or not. If you are talking about the demo, remember that it was an old code, and has not been polished. Talking about connection issues? That could be handled in the final product.

There are serious gameplay flaws.... but its fun to play.

Nothing is going to change before release. If you don't like the way it is now, cancel your pre-order.

[cobhatecrew]

what gameplay flaws?
did you only play it for 10 mins and sucked so your dismissing the game? the demo is like a year old

[DecoyOctopus]

worst review ever! was this written by a 12 year old? lacks information and is way too simple

I had a blast playing the demo and I've been on it since it released, (Aliens FTW XD) along with playing Mass Effect 2 on Insanity. I LOVE playing the demo and I'm looking forward to the full game even more!

I've bought and played games in the past and loved the hell out of them, even when they might get bad-decent review scores. This is just another one of those cases.

Hopefully, other reviewers actually have the decency to give it a score it actually deserves since I can for one say that I've thoroughly played it and disagree with everything they've b!tched about.

Disagree all you want but I'm a hardcore Aliens and Predator fan, I loved the game demo and everything in it, game is also very balanced and has high replay value. Got mine reserved and can't wait to play it!

I find it hilarious that so many "disinterested" people or those who have been"totally turned off" have wormed their way over to THIS board to talk about THIS game their experience with THIS demo. Come on guys you wanna rag on it but ddep down you hope it will be good and your too pansy to admit it in front of so many complainers. I on the other hand went into this game with the exact expectations that were met. This wasn't designed to compete with MW2 or MAG, This was designed to make you feel like your living as these characters, which it does quite well in the games demo. I can't wait to see what the ful game has to offer.
