There are some duffers, but most are far beyond average compared to when the first.Īliens vs Predator game appeared. I for one look very forward to an AVP 3, and if I live that long, an AVP 4.When You Think about it first-person shooters are pretty darn amazing: all-pervasive, all-conquering, and almost always excellent. Overall, I think AVP 2 is an incredible sequal to the original. The addition of the netgun is kinda superficial, not exactly a horribly useful weapon, I mean, it doesn't kill anything. The plasma gun has been modified, it now shoots more like a pistol, less like a mortar.
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. You can snipe from a distance, or sneak up right next to them and thwak their heads off. With an oddly advanced sort of technology, the predator is the epitome of the everything a hunter should be. Makes everything your trying to kill stick out like a third testicle. Not to mention the vision modes, one for each species. The predator is pretty cool, has the cloaking ability, and the highest jump in the game. As the predator, you have all kinds of weirdo gadgets and gear to help you out. 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. The fastest creature in the game, and possibly the single most fun to play as. 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 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 weapons are your claws and your tail. As the alien, you have only what's attached to you. You can barely jump, and your really slow in comparison to either the predator or the alien. The marine is essentialy the weakest physical character in the game. 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 pretty good mostly for his motion tracker, and the weapons, basically everything you have is a projectile weapon, except the knife. 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. You even get different kinds of ammo for them, like amor piercing rounds for the otherwise weak pistol, or shotgun slugs instead of scattershot.
Each has it's own benefits, and weaknesses.Īs the marine, you have access to an assorment of weapons, a few rather potent ones too. The game-play is phenominal however, whether the marine alien or predator, it's loads of fun. The ONLY downside of this game is that it's reletivly short, each campaign is only six levels or so. I loved AVP for all it was worth, and this is all that and so much more. This game is an incredible improvement on the first.
