Summary: Excellent Game, Crushes all Predecessors!
Review: All I can say is "Go out and purchase this game, and experience the nailbiting, adrenaline pumping action brought to you by AVP2!" There are way to many pros to talk about in 1000 words so all i will say is: "MULTIPLAYER GAMES RULE!" and even if you have a [bad] connection, single player is great also! One bad side is that it has no skirmish mode, like in AVP1. However, the ability to choose many a characters in Multiplayer mode has sorta made up for that. All of the different multiplayer "modes" are great too! (Evac, Death Match....)
GO BUY IT! Then buy the Expansion (Primal Hunt) when it comes out!

Summary: STOP BASHING THE MARINE!!!
Review: I don't know why everyone on the front page is on the Marine's case. I love the Marine's game. Why? Atmosphere. Sure, playing as the Alien is awesome, but there's a reason why they don't make movies from the Alien's prospective. Being the hunter is suspenseful, but being hunted scares your pants off.Take the first Marine mission for example. You are caught in a booby trap set by the soon-to-be-devoured scientists, that damages your radio receiver (although you can still listen to your fellow marines talking about you), leaving you alone and isolated. As you make your way through the level, you see the predators mopping up the human survivors. You see hanging bodies with no skin, people getting blasted to pieces, but you never see the aliens or predators. . . not yet. At one point, you see a jeep speeding towards you. KABOOM! A plasma blast sends it's flaming hulk careening over your head! At one point, the lights go off, and you see something running through an air vent. . . which you do thousands of times in the alien game. This level comes directly from the movies!!! There is so much in the marine game that's fun. . . If you buy this game, play all three missions to the end!

Review: True, this game is far superior to it's predecessor,
but it is also too short, like it's predecessor. Why
the hell can't they get it right??? MAKE A GAME THAT
LASTS LONGER THAN ONE DAY.

Summary: "Fun, fun, fun!"
Review: Like the last game, you play three characters, Alien, Predator, and Colonial Marine. Being a Marine really [stinks], but Alien and Predator are cool. I like being an Alien drone because when you slash someone or sting them or both it all happens in one big, stylized action sequence so that was really cool. The first Alien level is really hard, even at an easy setting, so I'd also rate the level of difficulty 5/5. Predator, however, isn't all that hard. It's very easy to stay alive, the only really hard part is that it will take you a little bit to figure out where to go. Also, as a Predator, you will start with only your Shocker, Speargun, and Wristblades. You must find your fellow Predators and they will give you weapons such as the Blade Staff, the Slicer Disc, etc. Also, if you set your Predator settings to easy, you will have an Energy Sift Device, which will allow you to restore your energy whenever you want (unless you are at full energy), Also, you will, of course, have the Medicomp. Personally, I think the Alien and Predator are a lot more fun to be than the Marine. So, pick up this game.

Summary: gore galore
Review: this game is once of the best first person shooters you will ever see. the graphics are excelent, the levels are filled with excitement, and the weopons are awesome! for the marine, the fulse rifle [as] a touch of automatic weapons and the napalm rifle dives you a small touch of melee. the alien is probably the worst of the character because this is all you do: slash, claw, headbite.....slash, claw, headbite..... slash, claw heabdite and so on and so on. Then you get to the predator, with its large amount of gadgets and gismos. the cloaking machine is very useful but it can drain you energy like a bug zapper. the vision modes are useful for sniping but while each one makes one character easier to see, the others become practically invisible, plus you need a helmet to use it. my one piece of adivice for you is that if you buy this game, steer clear of the combat knife when fighting an alien or your face will look like a chew toy.

Summary: Great characters and action, not perect
Review: Great action, but it gets a little repetitive. I loved the species, though, and since the game puts you right inside the action, it's definitely an adventure worth having. The animation is mostly great, though some of the movements made me wonder what the creators remember of Newton's Laws.

Summary: Scariest FPS i've played on. Excellent!
Review: This game depends on a persons particular taste and whether or not they have a pace maker or not. A love for a scrawny FPS will have you drawling at the screen as you back pedal down a vent shaft whilst spraying randomly into the face of the three aliens clawing there way along the ceiling totally intent on sucking out your brain. And of course if you're an alien & predator fan, then you'll have the same kind of liking to the scary atmosphere of the alien series. However, for those who like to be able to see what they're shooting at and like to stand and fight instead of leg it and shoot backwards, perhaps this is not for you.
The game is clearly a scary thing to play - close the curtains and turn out the lights gives the ideal atmosphere and I suggest a good sound set up, and even better, headphones.
You may have read other reviews that state how you can play as the Alien, Predator and Marine, and that is true, but I find playing as the human characters by far and away the most fun because there's nothing like pumping away with the shotgun at an alien with no legs left until it turns to liquid.
Being serious though, the graphic content is excellent, the modals are well rendered (What you can see of them) and the lighting effects really make you wish the flashlight on your shoulder hadn't just run out of power.
There is a massive array of weaponry with the marines and if you're the predator you have your nice long claws to enjoy and of course the famous shoulder cannon that the predator uses in the films. When playing as the alien you start life as one of those worm things, and then you eventually grow up into a fully armoured acid licking killing machine that can walk on the ceiling and cut peoples heads off. (Grose!)
I often say to people when they say this movie is really scary that it's only a movie, how can it be scary? But I really can tell you, when playing on this game, you really will need a cloth to wipe the sweat off the mouse as you fight to stay alive.
The scariest parts are when your walking into a semi lit room and you throw a flare in to see the room, but then as you carefully walk into the middle, you can hear the familiar ticking and scrapping sound, and then the radar starts beeping and before you know it you've turned around to locate the alien so many times you don't know where you are and all the time it's above you on the ceiling, and when you look up and see it looking at you, get that gun out!
So as far as I can see, if it's scary games and FPS's your into, this is a good choice, of course there are others like Medal of honour and C&C renegade if you prefer a more skilled game more then the toilet treatment that goes on if you play AVP2.
The multi-player is for on-line of LAN only, so there are no computer player options which I was a little disappointed in, because I like it when you can play infinitely against a computer especially in the hunt option where I could be a marine searching for a predator in the jungle.
Never mind, the single player really makes up for that. The game is however a bit too short. Okay, it's still a big game, but to today's standards where anything under 20 hours of single player action is short, it has to be said it could be a little longer. But even though I've completed it, believe me, you will want to do it again on a harder skill level. And you can see why it's short compared to most, it's because of the details that's gone into making it, the levels are so big some of them, and some of the open spaces where you have to walk along this pipe over a 200 foot fall really make you see how long it must have taken to design this game.
The levels are a little linear, but don't let that put you off because what true FPS isn't.
All in all a great FPS which is the best scary game out at the moment in my opinion. Worth owning.

Summary: This game has its moments! Sometimes scary, sometimes ho hum
Review: Having unsuccessfully tried to play AvsP and AvsP Gold because of incompatibility issues, I took a chance and ordered AvsP 2. I gotta tell you it was worth it! I've had a riot with this one! I'm still playing it and it's a lot of fun. It takes too long to load after getting killed and sometimes you can hunt around for hours before learning how to move on, but all in all, it's really a lot of fun. If you have Windows XP Home Edition, this one will work!

Review: Ah ha, so you've picked this one up eh?
Okay, that was dumb.
The graphics are good, the sound, the controls are good.
The big problem is that the single-player missions are way to easy, and then multiplayer is so hard 'cause everyone is so good. The Alien missions are very easy, predators are also easy, and marines are just a tad bit hard. There are almost no way to build up multiplayer skills.
Thhe mission are very linear and rarely require a guide. Brief aren't I? Leaving more to say? I am.
