The new AVP videogame is out after several poor attempts at Alien, Predator and AVP games, begging the query have producers Rebellion at last created a videogame to satisfy the hardcore AVP followers?

The verdict in short is yes. Launched for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC the new AVP videogame contains three campaigns, permitting the player to play as the hunter, survivor or prey. Starting on the Colonial Marines missions, you begin as a new recruit of the team on a small ship that witnesses a gigantic Predator vessel annihilate your mothership.

The next cutscene features your character coming to after being knocked out during the drop, and being advised by Tequila (closely resembling Vasquez from Aliens) that this job will grow to be a “bug hunt”. The next few levels are only for the player to become familiar with the controls, which might be familiar to most FPS gamers. Gamers shall be keeping off hordes of xenomorphs whilst hoping for an elevator to carry you to safety.

It’s throughout this gameplay users will discover how innovative the lighting of the new AVP videogame is; was that a grate falling down? or was it a xenomorph on the ceiling? The reply is that you simply will not know until it may be too late! Lighting has been employed to genius effect in creating tense and scary gameplay. The weapons look and sound genuine to the Alien franchise.

While the Marines mission is the closest to an FPS as possible in this AVP videogame, then the Aliens mission is the most different from that. The story begins with an Alien breeding laboratory with test specimens being harvested for their bioweapons research. But your Alien is special, as you resolve to make your escape through your surrogate parent’s throat, this indicates you’re a more canny species of Alien. A power failure gives you the perfect distraction to make your escape. Mission targets are given to you telepathically from the Alien Queen, and your Alien itself is a moving weapon, fitted with razor tipped tail. Alien play style favours stealth and surprise assaults from the darkness, and it is the most versatile of the characters.

The Predator mission is a mixture of the Marine and Alien campaigns. Being a Predator you rely closely on your superior technology and use of stealth to eradicate your prey. The predator mission in this AVP videogame is to locate and retrieve the remains of several “youngbloods”; Predators which have gone missing. The Predator is probably the favourite of the three campaigns in this AVP videogame, because of all its weaponry and utterly violent steath kills.

Overall, the new AVP videogame will satisfy the hardcore followers because it is still faithful to both the Alien and Predator films. The graphics should have been improved a little but the lighting and sound effects far make up for any visual negatives. Fusing these features with a brilliant multiplayer mode has created one of the best AVP videogame to date.
