Aliens vs. Predator is kind of just one those mid feeling 7th gen fps's. Kind of just have to review this through campaigns.
Human Marine:
This campaign is probably the most boring one. The guns are sufficient, but they lack any oomph to them. Thats kind of it, 2 hours of human gun shooting with a serviceable action plot.
Xenomorph:
The xenomorph moves super fast and is kind of more stealth based. It can crawl on every surface and crawl through vents. I was having fun just going through the levels as fast as I could, but when I got to the like 1 mandatory "Clear out the enemies" section I got a little pigged. The xenomorph just doesnt have enough tools to satisfy this stealth combat encounter.
Predator:
I think the predator's is the best campaign because it has so much more tools and upgrades through its campaign, though this is the only one I turned down to easy because the stealth still sucks and humans just always know where you are once they find you. Im very surprised there is a "full" hand to hand combat system int his game and it mostly shines through with the Predator (I mostly just spammed light attack, but it is still neat). Mostly, the Predator campaign just shines a light on how good a fully focused predator game could be, but doesn't hit that mark itself.
Overall this game is neat, and has neat stuff, but is spread kind of thin with the three campaigns to focus on anything so that it shines.
