Bringing the legendary war between two of science-fiction's most popular characters to FPS fans, AvP delivers three outstanding single player campaigns and provides untold hours of unique 3-way multiplayer gaming. Experience distinctly new and thrilling first person gameplay as you survive, hunt and prey in the deadly jungles and swamps surrounding the damned colony of Freya's Prospect. As the Marine, you'll experience a claustrophobic and terrifying experience where light is your friend, but there's never enough. However, the United States Marine Corps are humanity's last line of defense, and as such they are armed to the teeth with the very latest in high explosive and automatic weaponry. As the Predator, you will stalk from the shadows and from above, passing athletically through the treetops to ambush your victims. Although equipped with an array of powerful, exotic weapons and tracking equipment, honor ultimately dictates that you must get in close and take your trophies face to face. As the most deadly species in the universe, the Alien offers you the chance to play as the very stuff of nightmares - the monster in the dark swarming forward with countless others, jaws like a steel trap and claws like blades. Play all sides off against each other in a series of unique 3-way online modes and go tooth-to-claw-to-pulse rifle in the reinvention of one of multiplayer gaming's defining moments.

A surprisingly novel way to approach AVP in a game, as the two non-human campaigns (particularly Alien) are actually a decent time. I don't think there's really enough here to justify writing a full review, but if you can play it for a few bucks and you like Aliens/Predator, might as well give it a shot. Can't say anything about multiplayer since its deader than the horse that is Ellen Ripley in Alien Resurrection, but I assume it was pretty unique for its time given the asymmetrical nature of the campaigns.

Why did this game come and go? Licensing I assume.

This game is definitely better than "Aliens: Colonial Marines" and as the "Aliens vs Predator" from 2000, it includes 3 amazing storylines, except the game is not as hard as the 2000 one. The environment and gameplay are amazing, along with the story. The campaign mode requires also some exploration since it has collectables. The multiplayer is fun with friends, I remember playing it until late, and sometimes I wouldn't even sleep. The multiplayer mode also includes the 3 classes to play with: Aliens, Predators, and Marines - just like in the campaign mode.

It's fine. The weapons are pretty unbalanced especially when you character swap. The marine campaign is boring. The Alien campaign is too short. It's a cool concept, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Surprisingly, the game is not as fun as it looks from the outside. Especially the marine part was horrible. It has an extremely unbalanced difficulty and the weapons have no effect on the predators or aliens. On the other hand, the gameplay is very repetitive. The marine part was so bad that it completely killed my desire to see and experience the other parts of the campaign. If you are going to play this game, I suggest you skip the marine part completely. It's not fun and a waste of time.

Fue una experiencia divertida para la ps3 en su momento, pero siento que hay muchisimo potencial desperdiciado en este juego. Me encantaria que hubiese algun juego en el futuro que fuese similar pero con mejores mecanicas.
