Not much of a game. by Peter Olafson (La Jolla, CA USA)  2 Stars
August 10, 2009
The three campaigns in this real-time strategy game are set on similar-looking maps, the objectives (even the discover-able optional ones) are predictable, the actual strategies are basic, the AI mediocre (pathfinding in particular is a significant issue), there's very little in the way of presentational touches (not even cinematics at the end of each campaign) and the play, while outwardly difficult at medium level, becomes far easier once you discover the upgrades ... at which time your over-powered crew can take on pretty much all comers. I enjoyed the Alien campaign best -- there's something corruptly fun about running a hive -- but the elaborate alien-creation process aside, it's cut from the same cheap cloth as its Marine and Predator counterparts. Try Goblin Commander instead. :)

Fun the first time through by Tracy L. (Michigan)  4 Stars
June 16, 2007
Well, first off, let me say the game can be fun if you're into creating armies of Aliens, Predators and Marines, pitting them against your enemies and spending an hour on dragging around bodies, picking up trophies and fixing Atmospheric Processors. I like that kind of stuff, so it was fun for me. But too short. There are many levels in the game that the second time through can be beaten in fifteen minutes. The graphics are okay, control scheme simple to learn, and overall gameplay addicting. But the major flaw is in the fact it's too simple and repetitive. The environments stick close to same for each playable races, aliens are usually in a dank cave or jungle, humans in a building or mine, and Predators in a jungle or Alien hive. The races don't stick to close to the films they appear in, most of the 'new' species of Aliens are infact non-canon, meaning they aren't officially real in the films, but most don't car about that. Another thing is on going back through, there should be some sort of upgrade or cheat allowing you for a more free-play like game. That's not there, which I was a bit disappointed in. But overall, it was fun the first time through, replay value is slim and it was good while it lasted.

Not what I was expecting.... by Sandy R. Jimenez (New York City) 2 Stars
May 17, 2007
Fans of the classic AVP, and AVP 2 put crafted by Rebellion Studios and Sierra respectively will be scratching their heads when they pop this game into their xbox. This is not a FPS, or a FP squad based game. Why they would create an AVP game so completely divorced from the interactive experience found on the PC versions that developed a global audience is baffling.

ok game by Aaron (Moscow, ID USA)  3 Stars
April 17, 2005
First of all id like to say that this game is pretty fun, but it doesnt compare to other rts games like say starcraft, but it is creative. Also that kid who says he is a marine "genaral" is wrong about the alien battle system. It can get frustrating when you suddenly get attacked and you dont have enough aliens for a strong defence, but you dont have to chase a potential host into your nest area, unless you are using a certain type of alien, attacking someone wont kill them, it puts them in a coma and you can assign a drone or something to drag them back to your nest where a facehugger will do the rest. So, I dont believe the aliens are that bad, i think the predators are the least fun. if your interested, rent the game first.

Rating from marine genaral 4 Stars
December 26, 2004
Okay overall this game is pretty good. Yeah you may think aliens or predators should be picked but don't underestimate the marines. So they have low health yeah and when tou are fighting against an alien hive or predator clan things can and only have three man left things can get pretty ugly.But the aliens hive system stinks first you have to hatch a egg then you have to chase the hosts to the egg area with a regular alien and if you get the wrong host you were loking for to make a certain alien you have to do it over again. And of course the predators cloaking does absoulutily nothing to help you.Marines have an advanatage over all the other race and that is heavy firepower. Sureyou may be fithing a huge 10 foot tall Alien queen but with even five infantry units have enough fire power to kill 5 alien hives oor predator clans. Lets face it if you have two marine exosuits with twin torrent cannos against a 10 foot alien queen anyone would know whos gonna win. They may die easily but marines are the dominant species. Coming in second would probably would be the predators flying edged discs through the head would kill anybody right? THe reason aliens come in third is their hive system say on mission one you go through all the trouble to make a queen you lead her into combat with the marines thinking it will give you an edge wrong! ten marines lay heavy firepower on your queen and you have to reatreat and do the process all over again that is if you were smart enough to lay a Praetorian egg before leaving. So this game is great still feel weird about buying it then rent it. But trust me stick with the marines!
