Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was really excited when i heard this game was coming out it looked amd sounded awesome and for the most part it is all together awesome, but there are some flaws that just didn't make it a 5 star game.
There are 3 campaigns to play one for each species:
Marine campaign: at first it is great how your in suspense waiting for the alien to pop out of the shadows, but after a couple of encounters it gets pretty predictable and worse when you get surrounded by a gang of them like 3-or 4 your fighting off one in front of you while taking damage from the other sides (behind you) which gets hectic and annoying fast, no matter how good you play you will get hit alot you can run away and get space to shoot them but you will still get hit when running. Also the campaign is based around darkness you have a flashlight and some flares and basically try and survive the alien attacks in semi-darkness which is all it is about surviving, but it is still fun. You only fight the predator once in marine campaign. You can't do any insta/ trophy kills as a human, just push them/melee them off you and shoot them on the ground. Also the flares would be better if they say blinded or burned the aliens or made them get away (which they don't) all they do is temporarily give off light so you can see where to shoot, almost not worth throwing them since you will probably get hit upclose while you do it. Also the enemies are repetitive at points and not alot of variance alot of aliens,a couple of bigger aliens near end, android guards, 1 predator and facehuggers plus 2 or so mediocre boss fights. The storyline is so so nothing special.
Overall marine campaign: 7.5 out of 10
Alien campaign: At first seems really cool can climb on walls and run really fast but it is really short compared to the marine and predator campaigns seems almost like a unlockable mini game or something. Controlling the alien can be really hard and frustrating at times jumping on walls the camera flips upside down and turns sideways which will easily disorientate and confuse you add to this your navigation system is an arrow that does a lousy job, you will spend most of the time lost until you stumble on the vent or way you have to go to proceed to the next area, you only face 3 enemy types marines, android guards and the predators, you can also harvest unarmed civilians with facehuggers. The cutscenes do look nice though and the fight with the 3 predators as the alien is really awesome and the aliens ending and storyline is pretty cool.
Overall Alien campaign: 6.3 out of 10
Predator campaign: (am only halfway through) The only thing here is that it is too easy, i feel that the predator is the superior species easily it can dispatch both humans and aliens pretty easily with all its weapons and invincibility ect. But is the most fun to play as.
Predator campaign: Overall 8.9
Also The melee mechanics ( alien boxing sorta) block, light, heavy attacks could have gotten more work alot more improvement adding combos special moves and better animations would have been much better. Sometimes the graphics and animations seem outdated at times but pretty awesome in others(cutscenes) which looks like some scenes got the most attention while others weren.t rendered as nicely. marines feet would go through stairs while the throphy kills of the alien and predator are pretty awesome looking ( spent most time on probably).
Multiplayer can be pretty fun at times but i don't see it lasting long the 7 modes can only keep a persons interest so long then theres not much more to play for exept different ranks and skins which dont give anything extra skill wise just cosmetically which i wouldn;t keep playing it for. Playing as the predator seems to be an unfair advantage online though.
Rent it for a couple of days beat it play some multiplayer matches for fun then return it would be a good way to go with this game.
