Honestly I think the film works as an archetypal film in the realm of both Alien and Predator, just not a sequel or prequel to either. AVP was complicated as a stand alone, and disastrous when compared to anything else in the franchise except perhaps its sequel Requiem (and maybe Predator 2 or Alien3). And whilst it worked to some degree (my grandma liked it) it wasn't enough of a step in either direction. AVP on the other hand used references to the older films, but then completely threw the canon out the window and went for a larger fanbase.
Where Predators was a film that you didn't need to have watched all the others in order to follow, it was still fundamentally a Predator film, aimed at the Predator-loving market. Ultimately it's downfall came from some poor dialogue, and trying to reach a larger audience. Not because it was good, just because it was panned so fucking hard by critics! I think this is mostly due to the fact that it was being compared to both the Alien and Predator series, which is fair enough, but it was never going to be what either of those films was.

I recommend it for people looking for a good single-player experience and for Alien or Predator movie fans.I can honestly say, that this is one of the most under-rated films of 2004. While AvP2 is still a good game, it just can’t compare to its superiors at this time. I mean that it was released alongside games such as Max Payne, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Civilization 3, which all happen to be great games. Unluckily, it’s just released at a bad time. But until then, single player and some LAN party games should keep you busy.Īlien vs. Once this game starts to get more and more popular, the amount of game servers at any time should rise quite a bit. The multiplayer mode is a lot of fun, and a good LAN party game too. You may or may not want to play it again, but still it’s is a good experience. The single player should hold you off for a long time. The music changes in and out from danger to stealth to traveling…depending on situations. The game has great sound effects, especially from the Aliens and the Marine’s weaponry (which sound remarkably familiar). From typing trash to an enemy, to changing the vision filters on the Predator’s mask, it all fits well. For everything else, it’s all smooth and easy to use. It is disorienting at first, but you’ll soon develop a second sense for it. This plays mostly like a normal FPS, with the exception of the Aliens’ wall climbing ability. There are other modes, such as escape, domination-type modes, and team deathmatch. You have Marine fire-power against the Alien’s wall-climbing feat, against the Predator’s invisibility. Having a balance of all three races in one game is real fun. Multiplayer is also a blast if you have a lot of people willing to share the experience. The Marines have radar and a high-tech machine gun. As the Predator, you start out with invisibility capabilities and an array of hunting weapons. In the Alien single-play mode, you start out as a facehugger, then turn into a spawnling, and then morph into a drone. But the Marines’ story is the deepest by far. Each of these races has a deep story that ties together during the story’s evolution. And the invisible, head-seeking Predators. The acid-blooded, head-chomping, chest-bursting Aliens. Single-player consists of three player modes. It has wonderful effects and the lighting and texturing are especially well done. Monolth uses Lithtech well, despite its minor failings. It does require a good amount of computer power to run well, though. While it isn’t the prettiest of game engine, it is a fairly stable all around engine.
It uses the Lithtech engine (also used in No One Lives Forever).Īs i said before, this game uses the Lithtech engine. Predator 2 is made by Monolith and published by the well-known movie/gaming corporation, Fox Interactive.
