shooter

Lets face it with most games we play them and get tired of them quickly. I have done so with games like raven shield, master of orion, etc., etc. This one especially the online Primal Hunt is still a favorite of mine probably because its really three different games in one. By choosing to play as marine, alien, or Predator the whole feel of it changes. For those that enjoy the Alien & Predator movies its a must.

I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF VIDEO GAMING,BUT I BOUGHT THIS ONE BECAUSE I LOVED THE MOVIES. NOW I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE GET HOOKED ON GAMING. THE GRAPHICS ARE EXCELLENT AND THE MISSIONS ARE GREAT. I PLAY EASY MODE AND FIND IT CHALLENGING DUE TO MY LACK OF GAMING EXPERIENCE. IF YOU WANT TO GET LOST IN STATEGIC COMBAT FOR HOURS THIS IS YOUR TICKET.
I AM CURRENTLY ON ONE OF THE HIGHER LEVELS OF BEING THE ALIEN AND IT IS GREAT. I WILL TRY THE PREDATOR AND COLONIAL MARINE AT A LATTER DATE. I COULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO COMPLETE THE MISSIONS ON THIS GAME.
THIS ONE IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH OR THE PACIFIST TYPE. THE BACKROUND MUSIC IS GREAT FOR THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE HUNT.
A GREAT FEATURE IS THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY, LAN AND INTERNET PLAYING. VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS PURCHASE.

How to describe this game? BADASS! As a young boy I had wanted to play the first one for so very long but alas, my computer was not exactly "amazing" and it didn't even have a 3D card to support any "new" games so once my family finally got a new computer (a couple months ago) I came across Alien vs. Predator 2 which I had also wanted to play for quite some time. I downloaded the demo, not expecting much from a game that was a couple years old; I mean how good can the graphics be??? I put the settings as high they could go and was stunned...the graphics held up with today's! As I pressed the button that read "Single Player" I found out I was allowed to be the Marines, Aliens, and the Predators! Who would've guessed?!...OK...maybe you...but come on work with me here! Anyways, the demo allowed you to play one level as each species and then after I had beaten each level...A LOT...I downloaded the OTHER single player demo that was off of the Sierra site. I STILL HAVEN'T BEATEN IT! True I haven't played the full game and the fact that my internet stinks of suckiness also means I have not played multiplayer but I can tell you this much: playing as the Marines is totally scary! You will find yourself jumping out of your seat. Picture this: you're playing late at night, no lights on, by yourself, when all of a sudden a dark figure lunges at you from the shadows! There's a lot more to it than just that but words cannot describe the atmosphere of the game! It's truly scary stuff...O_O...being an Alien however, makes you feel like a lion in his kingdom! You feel so devilishly lethal. Aliens cannot use weapons but for God's sakes, do they really need them?!?! It's so damn fun climbing up ceilings, an unwitting marine below you, you pounce on him tearing him to shreds...so insanely evil! ^_^ Being the Predator is being God in a way; you feel so invincible! Cloaking device, unlimited medcomp kits, unlimited energy sifts, and an arsenal of badass weaponry that would put "Dubbya" to shame! Harpooning heads from a distance and then having them fly into the canyon behind the bodies is ridiculous!!! WHAT OTHER GAME HAS THAT?!?! None, that's what! Anyways, I hear good things from the multiplayer mode although the number of players is supposedly decreasing due to other online shooters (ex. Counter-Strike, Battlefield 1942, etc.) and with the release of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero slowly approaching, it may hurt a lot more. But don't let multiplayer discourage you, this edition comes with both "Alien vs. Predator 2" and it's expansion, "Primal Hunt". "Primal Hunt" never really got the "greatest" reviews but the price of this bundle is ridiculously cheap for such a great game as AVSP 2!!! Plus I also have a feeling that once the Alien vs. Predator movie is released on 08.06.04, this game will start getting big again! I know what I'm putting on my Chanukah list! CIAO!!! ;-)
