Aliens Versus Predator 2

"Why do I get the feeling I'm being followed?"

The only bad thing I can say about this game is...well...I guess the fact that playing as an Alien or a Predator is a whole lot different than playing as a Marine. Its kind of unfair but it also makes the game better because while the Aliens and Predator are stalking and killing people all over the place, you got your Marine walking around while your saying ''Oh my god please don't let that be a dead body...AAHHH! IT'S A BODY!'' See kind of gives you the quivers! But on the upside you get to use all kinds of neat guns like my personal favorite the Smart gun. Predators on the other hand have more interesting ways to deal with other races. I mean you can only walk around cloaked with some funky vision mode on that helps you see Marines better. I'd hate to be a Marine on the other side of a Predator's Plasma caster. But, cloak or not a Predator can't hide from an Alien. They see all races by different colored glows that surround each race.

This game also provides for good environment that helps you get a feel for the race you choose. Its kind of weird but no matter what race you play as, the all end up in the same place. But, no matter where you are (unless your playing multi-player), playing as the Marine always gives you the hebee gebees!

One of the best features about this game is the multi-player system. Its so fun just to go in a room as either an Alien, Predator, Marine, or Corporate (unavailable in single) and just frag frag frag until you get fraged! This is the only way to play as a Marine and not be afraid. But it really sucks when you play a map that has Alien life cycle on. For all you wondering, Alien life cycle is where anyone who starts off as an Alien has to start off as a face hugger. While you are a face hugger, you need to find yourself a host and latch on to his face. Then when the little worm like Alien bursts out of the guys chest you run around until you've matured into an adult. The bad part for the Marines is the fact that theres' bug things that are lightning fast and impossible to hit! Unless of course there is a little thing called a mini gun involved.

The one thing that gets kind of disturbing as a Marine is that all through out the single-player missions, your being stalked! But by what? By who? Why? I'm not even completely done with the game and I think I already know what it is that keeps standing 3 feet in front of me while I stand there wondering what the heck it is. I highly suggest buying this game. SO DO IT! NOW! Thats why I gave it 10/10 for crying out loud.

I really couldn't say enough good things about this game. But if I keep on going then I'll practically give away the entire plot of the story.
