knew it must.. after all i don't own it!

as it happens, collecting spectral energy in Alone in the Dark is possibly even more tedious.. i think i'll leave that right there!

Got a lone of this from a mate and just as i suspected its garbage. The marine missions are ok because you have a gun but the other 2 are terrible. Graphics you could just about get away with if this was a 360 release title. 3 years after cod4 they are no longer acceptable.

Has none of the suspence or excitement that an aliens game should have.

really cant say i agree with that. i found the predator ones a bit easy as the marines were just easy picking. the alien ones were very fun i thought and i didnt think it was boring at all. Marine missions were good and tense all the time i found. I really dont think the graphics are an issue tbh.

Bought this yesterday and it was a waste of money. Example, the pulse rifle from the movie Aliens is a real kick ass weapon that rips Aliens apart. In this game it's as much use as spitting at them. A full mag is almost needed to take an Alien down and that's at close range! Even the grenade launcher just seems to stun the Aliens instead of ripping them apart. They got the sound right but that's all. Brutal let down like Alien 3 & 4 and AVP2

It was OK. Not great. Not terrible. Just OK.

I think it's partly my fault though. I found myself hyping this game up so much in my mind. I imagined the Predator section to fee like the movies. You know, stalking the humans, actually capturing certain voices and, even though it may not have worked gameplay wise, having the ENTIRE game in the heat vision. It'd be interesting for sure. Also, I was dissapointed with how "clean" the Predator vision was. In the movies it's grainy, the "HUD" is cluttered, claustrophobic, you get the impression it's an animal just focused on one thing- the hunt. I realise they gotta sex it up but it all looked too clean cut and shiny. I also hated the aspect whereby you throw voices to lure humans to a certain area. In the movies I always saw it that the Predator just mimics the voice and wherever the humans heard the voice he was right there, just in camo. Now that's creepy, right? But no, in the game it's throwing voices to the point where one human responded to my command saying "Ok, I'm here". Ugh.

Also, was I the only person that hated the soundtrack so much that I piped in the official Predator soundtrack from the movie? It took it out of being bland to being great, well, sometimes at least :P

I finished the 3 campaigns today. Overall it was very disappointing, the alien levels were the best of a bad bunch...

A few points about each side:

Marine:
Moves around like he's skating on ice,yet aiming is stiff
Wepaons are underpowered and have no real feel to them
Bog standard and predictably boring storyline

Alien:
Sometimes awkward moving/vent mechanic


Predator:
Very bad balance of weapon power, proximity mines/combi stick
Again boring and predictable storyline
His "focus" ability is messy and annoying to use

But overall the one thing that annoyed me the most was those lazy ba$tards used all the exact same levels for every campaign. And i'll hazard a guess they used them for the multiplayer maps too. Unbelievable!


Needless to say I couldn't trade it in quick enough today.
