Aliens vs. Predator (2010)
What the hell happened Rebellion?
I played and finished this AVP on PS3 and I regret buying it. At least, I can trade it but still, that game was very disappointing on many aspects not respected from previous AVP games. Instead of using the things worked so good on previous AVP games, this AVP 2010 simply decided to discard too many stuff that was amazing and shove you that lack-luster product thats more related to the AVP movies than the previous games that were closer to the Aliens, Predator 1&2 movies. A huge step backwards and I hope, IF there's another AVP in the future, that it'll be made by a competent developer studio or get back with Monolith who did it perfectly on their AVP 2. Rebellion did a sloppy job on this game.
PROS:
-Faster Alien speed than previous AVP games -Lance Henriksen and William Hope voice cast -Multi Player fun when played with friends - Trophy kills are quite cool (at first) -Gore is well done -Great character/monster modelling -No flashy orange WY uniform -No cartoon-ish visuals in this game unlike AVP 2.
CONS:
-Uninspiring level design -No Rich Ragdale or similar sounding soundtrack -Majority of in game sounds are used from the AVP movies than the original AVP games and/or original movies -Very scripted sequences during campaign mode -Lack of controls in this game (no crouching, no leaning, no aiming) -Sequential auto-kill (Insta-Kill) is badly implemented, makes you vulnerable during that action phase. Worst is its in effect for the MP -Multi Player mode takes very long to join a game - Lack of dedicated servers for the PC versions. It was promised then discarded just before game launch -Lack of MP maps -Same single player maps for all three species -The AI is one of the badder I have ever seen in a game -Predator HUD is well crafted and feels refreshing BUT, the health and energy gauges are poor represented and even confusing. It was better made from AVP 1999 with the red and blue predator symbols on each side. -Indestructible Sentry Guns (you can only power them down by smashing a nearby computer keyboard); and the sound used is poorly done, not the same used in the Aliens movie
The Multi Player... lack of dedicated servers killed the PC version. Lack of maps is a huge letdown too. It just shows you that todays gaming scene wants to milk map packs as DLC and charge you. As for the game play, not as good as it was in my early AVP gaming years. Rebellion's AVP 1999 game (since they made their first AVP on Jaguar around 1994) was the king of online game play. Required you to have skills over all races, and it was faster paced. Even the single player of AVP 1999 was better than this one. AVP 2 introduced a class system which worked rather well online. The only gripe I had with AVP 2 MP was the poor network coding, making huge amount of lag even for broadband internet.
On a finishing note, even as a huge fan of this gaming franchise and even the movies and comics, this AVP is a serious stripped down AVP 1999 except much crappier. Too slimed, too much content removed from Rebellion's AVP 1999 and it shows badly. Now, my only hopes rests with Gearbox Aliens: Colonial Marines. And with Gearbox latest gaming developer résumé, I doubt they'll let that game suck.
