Good mostly. For fans of Series.
There are few things more satisfying than getting a trophy kill as a Predator or an Alien. The graphics are pretty good, the gameplay is ok, not good though. The story is short, and to be honest, I couldn't care less about it. The characters suck. I really don't have sympathy for them. As an Alien, the campaign was the most bare-boned. Go here, kill here, Go there... Not much going on.
As a Predator, at least there is a reason given as to why they are there and found those parts to be very interesting.
As a marine, I didn't feel weak at any time. You have unlimited flares, ammo isn't scarce, and all weapons have secondary capabilities that are really useful against your foes.
As far as gameplay, there's too much emphasis on melee attacks. It's too useful as a marine, as an Alien, not strong or quick enough, and as a Predator, I guess it's just right. The predator jump mechanics work well enough, unfortunately it has limited range and it only works on certain surfaces.
Maps are recycled throughout so expect environment boredom. Music is generic. I felt especially annoyed by this because why is there scary tense music when I am the Alien. I am fear, I shouldn't fear anything. Why is the music trying to make me afraid? Same with Predator, the music was mismatched.
Throughout the game, I felt like Rebellion was under a really tight budget. All the generic soldiers, have the same voice actor. They say the same damn thing, "Don't relax just yet, Marines." The AI sucks.
There are 2 maps for survivor, nothing really to come back to. DLC I assume sucks, multiplayer is available but no one plays so it's a waste of game. Each level has a point system, so this is a good incentive to keep playing but that's just about it.
With so much cons, Why just a 3 and not lower? Well, I'm a fan of the series and this is much better than the movies. Most of these are just gripes I have and the game is really enjoyable, just don't expect GOTY, or anything groundbreaking.Read full review
