Aliens vs. Predator 2

You want a great AVP game? Here it is! Forget the games from 1993 and 1999. This one is the real deal! Forget the movies too. OK, the 2010 video game was OK, but this one... damn! OK, OK... now you get to play, again, with the marine, predator and alien. And each of them has a story-mission, that is connected to each other. That's the best thing about this video game, it has a perfect story that connects characters. Each and everyone of them is very playable, so you can chose and enjoy all of them, they are different of course, but I like how they did a perfect atmosphere and terrain for each of them. With alien, you got pretty rough terrain, with lot of jumping, climbing... but alien has next advantages: He is extremely fast, agile and powerful, he can tore apart a marine in just a second, for example. The predator's mission are pretty interesting, in my opinion most enjoyable of all three. You really feel like predator, it's so cool and sexy :). Predator is also strong, with advanced weaponry and hunting skills, but he is pretty slow. The marine has really cool, atmospheric missions, which are really scary, really, really creepy, and you got a bunch of big weapons that can save your butt if you are ready to use them in high voltage action. The marine's advantage is his weapons, use them wisely. I am not saying anything anymore, get this game and have fun!

Wowweee! What the hell was that, nothing but a roller coaster... If, like me, you are that kind 'o guy that absolutely worships the alien saga and has always wanted to take to the field killing aliens or (humans or both), but are a little afraid of being caught by the police and sort of out of ammo, then this is THE game you've been looking for.

I have never seen such a brilliantly reproduced atmosphere in a film inspired game before. Lots of the mistakes that the first AVP had were corrected here, such as the one-off missions (that had hardly any connection with each other), and many others which aren't worth mentioning.

this is the only game I've ever played (and belive me I played many) that instilled fear in me. I mean pure, absolute fear! Fear of giving a single step forward, of looking back at what's lurking behind you or fear at the horrible noises coming from around the corner. It's everything the film saga is and a whole lot more.

about the species: either one you choose will be as challenging. the marine has the obvious limitations of humans; the predator has the most amazing weapons in the galaxy, and the alien is... well, just different. the game isn't all that hard to finish as the first AVP, because you can save your progress now. However, it does has a number of difficulty levels, that turn the game into a challenging experience.

the new abilities - such as pounce, or the wallwalk toggle - will add enormously to the gaming experience. The alien is a lot stealthier, although some abilities - like the predator vision modes - will circumvent this. but there's where your tactical genius will have to intervene. a good alien player will find a way around this, which will usually mean charging the enemy headlong, hitting fast and hard.

getting in the skin of the predator gives you a sense of invincibility - untill you start getting hacked left and right. believe me, there is a level that took me and my brother almost a month to complete (old debts). it's a cave full of aliens, that shows just how inefficient your high-tech weapons can be. but the real pleasure is when you hunt humans; it's always fun collecting the trophies and snipping at the sentry guns.

the marine as a good range of equipment, from the trusty old m41a, to the blowtorch, the smart gun and the hacking device. too bad that you can't get any of the really heavy stuff untill the end of the game (like the battle suit).

This is absolutely the best game I have ever played. One word; DYNAMIC! From start the finish this game will scare the holey hell out of you. The combination of music, intense graphics, and realistic game play make for a ride you wont forget. I am abosolutely addicted to this thing. It never gets boring, no matter how many times you play it, and no matter which role you are playing. Buy this game, you won't regret it. Props to the makers. VERY well done.

This game is an incredible improvement on the first. I loved AVP for all it was worth, and this is all that and so much more. The ONLY downside of this game is that it's reletivly short, each campaign is only six levels or so. The game-play is phenominal however, whether the marine alien or predator, it's loads of fun. Each has it's own benefits, and weaknesses.

As the marine, you have access to an assorment of weapons, a few rather potent ones too. You even get different kinds of ammo for them, like amor piercing rounds for the otherwise weak pistol, or shotgun slugs instead of scattershot. Also, in addition to all the weapons from AVP, you also now can get a sniper rifle, though the single player modes don't really have you use it at any point, it's still a good addition for multiplay value alone. The marine is pretty good mostly for his motion tracker, and the weapons, basically everything you have is a projectile weapon, except the knife. This is good and bad, You never really have to get close to anything, but if your wasteful with ammo your screwed. The marine is essentialy the weakest physical character in the game. You can barely jump, and your really slow in comparison to either the predator or the alien.

As the alien, you have only what's attached to you. Your weapons are your claws and your tail. The alien is possibly the most fun to play though, being stealthy and creeping up behind marines is quite a lot of fun, not to mention biting all their heads off. Your claws basically just rip people up, and your tail just kinda stuns em, but if you charge up your tail (I know, sounds weird) you can kill just about anything aside from the predator with one quick shot. The fastest creature in the game, and possibly the single most fun to play as. The only real addition to the alien since AVP is the pounce attack, you jump foward a good distance and rake your claws on whatever what land on.

As the predator, you have all kinds of weirdo gadgets and gear to help you out. The predator is pretty cool, has the cloaking ability, and the highest jump in the game. Not to mention the vision modes, one for each species. Makes everything your trying to kill stick out like a third testicle. With an oddly advanced sort of technology, the predator is the epitome of the everything a hunter should be. You can snipe from a distance, or sneak up right next to them and thwak their heads off. The biggest addition to the predator is the charger, you no longer have to wait to build energy, if you find a quite spot you can fill it all up real quick. The plasma gun has been modified, it now shoots more like a pistol, less like a mortar. The addition of the netgun is kinda superficial, not exactly a horribly useful weapon, I mean, it doesn't kill anything.

Overall, I think AVP 2 is an incredible sequal to the original. I for one look very forward to an AVP 3, and if I live that long, an AVP 4.

I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Got it for christmas, spent the rest of the vacation playing it. I probably like the Marines campain best and the predators abilatys (love the shoulder cannon) I was scared to death with this thing!! The aliens are also fun to play as, I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF COMING OUT OF THE GUYS CHEST.
