Aliens vs. Predator — any good?

Haven't played it yet but reviews on metacritic range from 5/10-9/10. Guess it depends on personal preference and/or whether your a fan of the films.

Indeed, the game has too many mixed reviews. Guess reviewers aren't agreeing on the core components of the game. Though, if you'd simply do the average of them, you should get a 7/10 which in my book, is quite decent.

I don't like the game sounds though since their the same used in the AVP movies; which were very lame. I would've preferred the game to simply IGNORE the AVP movies since they badly sucked and just focus on the movies that truly mattered.

As for the level design, most reviews hit the spot as its supposed to be badly designed. Many review sites mention that same con so it must be valid. Other sites also mentions bad mechanics and poor controls (for consoles version).

Again, mostly all review were done on X360… I would expect the same kind of review for the PS3 but a PC review would be welcomed. Rebellion did stated that they focused more on the PC version… I'm eager to confirm that.

So far, ratings goes as this:

Gamespy gives: 2.5/5
Gamespot gives: 5.5/10
IGN UK gives: 8.5/10
IGN US gives: 7/10
GameInformer gives: 5.75/10
GamesRadar gives: 8/10

Think I'm gonna get it anyways, on PS3 since my dinosaur-of-a-PC won't run it for sure. And well, I did wanted a new PC but with current life issues, it'll have to wait. Well, one day, I shall experience this game on the way its meant to be played… As for the Hunter's Edition, it seemed tempting at first but I don't much care now. My EBGAMES store didn't had any in order and probably didn't received any. I should get a look tonight if they got one, if not, not too bad.

Sure, the game must be felt quite disappointing from the previous AVP games, but it should provide fans and other gamers, the fun game play for quite a time… till a better game comes out, which should be real soon. 

Hope this help you Tridon!

can't believe this got bad reviews im just half way through the marines story and it's great , hope that's not a sign of bad things to come.

I've seen some game-play footage of the game and it looks pretty average… Very pretty average…

I'll admit i ain't seen much but what i have seen def. doesn't make me wanna rush out and get it, or even walk very causally. The game seems very repetative, and pretty basic…

I think i'd rather play Turok!

Most games these days are repetitive or require multiple playthroughs for the platinum'.

I agree with you though this doesn't really have much appeal to it, the last game I played with any ties to this was Predator: Concrete Jungle on the XBOX. I think I'll wait till this is in the bargain bin and judging by how bad most have said it is I can expect to see it their soon.
