Dropped back into this after not playing since its launch.
Where this game shines is the multiplayer, which is essentially dead. If anyone sees this and wants to play online, hit me up!
Other than that, AVP is dated. 3 campaigns that mirror each other in setting, but play drastically different. Predator, Aliens, Marines. The Predator is more stealth based, Alien feels like a speedrun and its controlled in such a nauseating fashion. The Marines is the biggest chore, and you mostly just fight Xenos which become overwhelming at times.
Even on Normal, this game poses some challenge! Although all the boss fights are incredibly easy. The hardest parts come from horde sequences. It's playstyle is dated, but the textures and surroundings look good for its time. Predator can feel a bit stiff, Alien is wild and too loose, and the Marine being only able to hip fire and has the cardio of a 260lb male doesn't help when trying to escape a group of xenos to reload or heal.
Story mode, the flaws are glaring. Online though, with all of this mixed together was a beautiful barage of violence and competition. When I owned the game I hardly touched the story due to how much fun I had online. If there was a way we could remaster this for its online or something. That'd be rad!
