In the all-new Aliens vs. Predator players will have the chance to take the role of the three infamous species; the Colonial Marine, the Predator and the Alien. Each of the three species has its very own distinct story-driven single-player campaign mode that interweaves with the campaigns of the other two species. Aliens vs. Predator will also feature unique 3-way online multiplayer, allowing gamers to pit the three species against each other in the ultimate battle for survival and for the right to be crowned the deadliest species.
On planet BG-386 a colonist mining group discovers an ancient pyramid containing a dark and horrible secret. Across the stars a race of warriors is alerted to the discovery of their pyramid and a hunting party is dispatched to ensure that it remains sealed at all costs, whilst deep inside the ruined pyramid a malevolent intelligence awakes from centuries of dormancy.

Okay so there's been a LOT of people complaining that the game is highly unbalanced and that you'll enter a game only to find the same species (usually Predators) winning over and over again. Now I can confirm that the reason this happens is because the best players usually play as the predators.
I've played as all three races (found myself to be most effective with the human) and found that there is no inbalance in the races: they all have weaknesses and strengths which turns the game into one long round of rock-paper-scissors (Human Beats Aliens, Predator Beats Humans, Aliens Beats Predators) but this can easily be overcome with enough skill.
Really it depends more on how you play rather than what you play as. Also the one-hit-kill moves are ridiculously satisfying.
So overall a very balanced, and fun game that's varied enough for you to come back to the same map and game mode over and over again.
I am immensely impressed with this game, I just did not think they could make a great game on the AVP scene, barring the original PC hit, but they've only gone and proved me wrong!
I can say I am extremely glad I spent such a good price for such a great game.
I must admit ive been looking forward to getting my hands on this game since it was announced last year and it hasnt disapointed at all. being a huge aliens and predator fan anyways has helped tbh rebellion have done an excellent job of implementing audio such as the roaring sound of the pulse rifile and the aliens trademark screaming when being shot also the likenesses of each species. my only slight bug bear is the sluggishness of the attacks sometimes esp when playing deathmatch or any of the other online modes but its no biggy and can be overlooked quite easily. play.com excellent work again as i received my copy a day early.
Being a fan of the movies and played other incarnations on other platforms i just had to buy this. But having spent a couple of weeks playing Mass Effect 2 i guess that i had been spoiled as Alien Vs Predator did not live up to my expectations and is at best a mediocre FPS. I dont think the game hits the spot on any level, the graphics are just Ok and the gameplay i find repetitive. Perhaps trying to put three games into one is a bridge too far . Overall just a fair blast, nothing to get excited about!!
