A far superior game to AvP 2 that came out back in 2001.

This game so far has had some very good single player missions for Predator and Alien. I have yet to play any of the single player for the Space Marines, but that will come shortly.

It's available on 360, ps3 and PC. I currently own it on PC, so I may make a lot of PC only references.

I give it a 9/10.

Pros

Good storyline
Great graphics
Brutally Graphic
Gets you sucked into the game
Multiplayer
Available on Steam


Cons

Lack of weaponry (mainly predators)
Short Single player (not too short, but wished it was longer. If you add all 3, it's just as long as any standard game)
Brutally Graphic (Kids shouldn't watch this game)
Adult language (Again a kid thing)
Lot's of bad graphic options that you have to turn off (Vsync, Mouse Smoothing, etc.)
Not quite as customizable for dedicated servers to allow people to customize the game play per server (A feature I enjoyed from AvP2)
Microphone toggles are not in game, they are off steam(PC version).

I was interested in this game when I first saw previews on it (I liked the old PC Aliens v Predator from the 90's), but saw it got sh!tty reviews by pretty much every game reviewer (gamespot, gameinformer, IGN, etc.). Is it worth a buy, or more of a rental?

Same here ROS. Gameinformer only gave it a 5/10!

I do not know how well it plays on Xbox and PS3. I can tell you on my computer (Which is about as top notch as you get), it plays very well.

A few of my brother in laws have it on lesser running PC's. They have issues with stuttering during some of the combat.

I will tell you I was quite turned off of the game from AVP2.

If you are expecting AVP2, don't.

There are very limited weapons and they do not work quite the same way.

I have grown to really enjoy the game after playing it more and more.

I would suggest a rent rather than buy.
