GameSpy: Aliens vs. Predator Review

If this new AvP were like a grapefruit, and you were like the Dole Fruit Company, you would probably buy it only for use in juicing, not to be eaten on its own, as it just doesn't have enough meat. And by "buy it only for use in juicing" GameSpy means you probably wouldn't buy it at all, because it isn't very good.

im taking all these mediocre reviews on the chin for now, cos while i accept every game has its problems to be criticised, ign gave it 8.5, OPSM australia gave it 9, and i have always loved the marine/aliens universe ever since alien trilogy, and as such, im gonna be optimistic and pick this up on friday...

NYC_Gamer5219d ago

play the game for yourself.....just because they dont like it doesnt mean u wont

Its excellent. If you liked the previous two on PC (and to a lesser extent, the Jaguar version) you will love it.

Good to know - I actually bought my Jaguar for the original Alien vs Predator and still have it up in the attic somewhere. Despite the rotten frame rate and samey scenary, it was rather a fun ride.

Grapefruit?
Sifting through these reviews for AvP is like peeling an onion: First skin equals 'good review', next layer says it's crap and so it goes on.

Just shows you how pointless reviews ultimately are; If a game is genuinely, absolutely "bad" you'd think everyone would say the same thing. I'm still leaning towards getting AvP, simply because I enjoyed the others so much and that too many people are contradicting the low scores.

Aw, man. Loved AvP back in the day.

XbladeTeddy2011d ago

Kingdoms of Amalur was brilliant. Never did get a sequel because all the crap that happened after with the IP.

Any 4K upgrades on any of the titles?

Been playing the shit out of it on PS3. Hopefully this gives the game another lease of life. Such an underrated game imho.

Blastoise2069d ago

Infestation mode, so much fun

AK912069d ago

Hopefully that game is underrated
