Bookmark this on Delicious
The new AVP videogame is out after multiple poor attempts at Alien, Predator and AVP titles, begging the question have developers Rebellion finally created a videogame to fulfill the hardcore AVP fans?
The verdict in brief is yes. Launched for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC the new AVP videogame comprises three campaigns, allowing the gamer to control the hunter, survivor or prey. Starting with the Colonial Marines missions, you start as the rookie of the crew on a small ship that witnesses a large Predator vessel eradicate your baseship. Of course the one choice out there is for your craft to land on an unchartered planet.
The Diverse Campaigns And Aliens Offered Within The Latest AVP Videogame.
The following scene features your character coming to after being knocked out during the deployment, and being instructed by Tequila (closely resembling Vasquez from Aliens) that this job will turn into a “bug hunt”. The following few stages are just for the gamer to become familiar with the controls, which will be easy to most FPS gamers. Players shall be keeping off hordes of xenomorphs while hoping for an elevator to deliver you to safe ground.
It is throughout this gameplay users will notice how innovative the lighting of the new AVP videogame is; was that a vent falling off? or was it a xenomorph on the ceiling? The answer is that you simply will not know until it could be too late! Lighting has been employed to master effect in crafting tense and scary gameplay. The weapons look and sound authentic to the Alien saga.
If the Marines campaign is the closest to an FPS as possible in this AVP videogame, then the Aliens campaign is the most different from that. The scene opens with a xenomorph breeding laboratory with test subjects being harvested for their bioweapons research. However your Alien is different, as you decide to make your escape via your surrogate host’s throat, this indicates you’re a more intelligent species of Alien. A power failure gives you the perfect distraction to make your escape. Mission objectives are given to you telepathically from the Alien Queen, and your Alien itself is a moving weapon, armed with razor tipped tail. Alien play style favours stealth and surprise attacks from the shadows, and it’s the most versatile of the three.
The Predator campaign is a mix of the Marine and Alien levels. Being a Predator you rely closely on your superior weaponry and use of stealth to eliminate your prey. The predator campaign in this AVP videogame is to locate and retrieve the bodies of multiple “youngbloods”; Predators that have gone missing. The Predator is probably the favourite of the three campaigns in this AVP videogame, as a result of all its weaponry and completely gruesome steath takedowns.
Overall, the new AVP videogame will fulfill the hardcore fans as it is still faithful to both the Alien and Predator franchises. The visuals should have been improved slightly but the lighting and sound work far make up for any visual gripes. Fusing these elements with a brilliant multiplayer mode has created one of the best AVP videogame ever produced.
