Alien vs. Predator on the SNES is a classic example of cool idea, poor execution. The concept of playing as a Predator, Xenomorph, or even a Colonial Marine is awesome! But the controls are clunky, the visuals are rough, and the levels are frustratingly repetitive. There's a flicker of nostalgic fun to be had, but overall, this one hasn't aged well.
This is the quintessential 90s licensed game.
✅ Side-scrolling beat-em-up
✅ Minimal frames of character animation
✅ Overly simplistic controls, with fewer moves than buttons
✅ Very short length inflated by repetition
✅ Different enemies are often just palette swaps
❌ Fun
Please be advised, this is not a port of the Arcade title. These are drastically different games, I've submitted a revision on IGDB to get "Arcade" removed from this page as a platform because these have nothing to do with each other besides the IP.
EDIT: Revision approved!

This is another game most people don't like that i really liked and thought was a good game my only complaint is the controls still a good game though got more than I expected out of it.
Steaming garbage. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. What went wrong? This is just tragic. Time to hunt? No, just time to turn this excrement off and play something else. The original arcade game which followed a few months later is a fantastic Final Fight clone chock full of enemies to kill with addictive gameplay, this is like its elderly drunken relative who turns up at a family get together smelling of piss and trying to ruin everyone's fun with their bandy legged dancing.
Imo the finalized perfection of Capcoms beat em up formula (along with Battle Circuit)
(Just remembered to list this one, didn't play it recently)
Easily my favorite Capcom beat em up of all time. I love how many liberties it takes with the franchise to just go all out with its stupid capcom bullshit. It's mechanics and game feel are sooooo good. I love all of the characters. The bosses are so cool. It's just incredibly high quality beat em up stuff.
