Overview :
Developed at Rebellion by the team responsible for the original 1999 PC classic, the all-new Aliens vs. Predator allows players to take the role of three infamous species: Colonial Marines, Predators and Aliens. The game features a unique three-way online multiplayer experience, allowing gamers to battle for survival and the right to be crowned the deadliest species in the galaxy. Each race will also have its own distinct action-packed single-player campaign mode, with a storyline that cleverly interweaves with the other two species' paths.
Set on planet BG-386; a human colonist mining group discovers an ancient pyramid containing a dark and horrible secret. Across the galaxy, a race of warriors is alerted to the discovery of their pyramid and a hunting party is dispatched to ensure that it remains sealed at all costs. Deep inside the ruined pyramid meanwhile, nature's deadliest species awakes from centuries of hibernation intent on finding new prey.

General Features :

• The Colonial Marine's story is an incredible fight against all odds from horrors lurking in the dark. Surrounded on all sides yet armed to the teeth, the Colonial Marine represents humanity’s last stand with the firepower to fight back.
• As the Alien, players will discover what it's like to be the scariest, most murderous creature in the universe, with the ability to traverse any surface at lightning speed in order to get close enough to unleash its deadly claws, tail and teeth.
• A master of the hunt, the Predator grants the player an arsenal of exotic weaponry with which to stalk from the shadows. Earn the greatest honor by ambushing prey up-close, before butchering them for a gory trophy kill.
• 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.

Marines Trailer

Much improved over the console versions!

I am completed the Marine campaign and the Predator Campaign. I am about 3 hours into the Alien Campaign.

In my opinion the PC game is very good. I don't have any studdering issues or complaints about the interface. I am using Win7 64 bit.

I do agree with the reviewers that the Alien campaign is the weakest. I do admit however that it does take a while to get used to the Alien controls. I also find the overall game play is linear for that species.

I am REALLY enjoying the survival multiplayer mode. I played for about 3 hours straight last night and I only turned it off for the Canada vs Swiss game.

Anyways I think if you are on the fence that this game is worth getting on the PC.

My review would be 8/10.

Pros :

- Great feel for alien and predator world
- Good story telling with Lance really adding to a spectacular atmosphere
- Unique multiplayer with plenty of replay value

Cons :

- Alien campaign isn't as good as the other two
- No Jump/crouch
- No detailed multiplayer setup(but not a big deal just would be nice to have it)


Anyone else playing it?!?!

I forgot that this was due out this soon. Thanks for the review.

I LOVED 'Aliens vs Predator 2' so how does the story and single player compare to that one?

Loved the game, completed it last night (less than two days)
I actually liked the Alien campaign specially at the end of it

I just started a few days ago. I'm on the marine portion of the game.

Question: Has anyone here had any issues with crashing of the game when launching. I ended up turning "v-sync" off (something I normally do if I have issues) and that appeared to fix the issue. I was just curious if anyone else noticed this. Thanks!

Love the game thought!

fracking awesome game

After the drubbing that the PS3 version was getting, i shelled out the cash and bought the PC version instead. Now this is what i pay my money for! The game kicks some serious ass, it's so blatantly obvious they had to scale down across the board for console versions. Gotta love my new gaming rig!
