Also, we try to upload manuals and extra documentations when possible. If the manual is missing and you own the original manual, please contact us! Then came the classic wherein you portrayed either an Alien, a Predator, or a human Marine stalking your way or madly fleeing through deselate space stations, or mines, or what have you, all in first-person perspective.
The environment was the same for all of the character choices, but the play style for each was quite different. There is none, actually, nor any real purpose to the game beyond eliminating the opposition. You have a choice of playing as an Alien, Predator or Colonial Marine, essentially wrapping up three distinct playing styles into one. All three campaigns field six missions plus several bonus levels, adding up to a total of some 32 levels accessible through any order. So you can temporarily leave the Marine campaign on hold while having a go at the Alien campaign, or vice versa.
In effect, each side has a vague storyline stringing the levels together, but its barely noticeable and completely disposable.
The Alien, for instance, wakes as its hive becomes invaded by pesky humans, so you the Alien must kill the intruders and seal the hive. A follow-up level involves you hitch a ride on a Nostromo-like spaceship, with bloody results for the occupants. The original lacked this option completely you had to complete each mission in one run but this Gold edition implements a savegame feature halfheartedly.
This device makes a hell of a noise when you use it though so any foes in the area are likely to cotton on to the fact you're there. Additionally, when it comes to fighting Aliens, you're not so hot - they can see you cloaked or uncloaked and whereas you can deal with a few humans up close, the Aliens are far better at close range combat than you are. Combating Aliens usually involves backpedalling frantically while you're blasting away at them with your shoulder cannon.
The most suprising thing about the Alien campaign is that you don't start the game fully-grown - instead you begin life as a Facehugger, as depicted in the movies.
With no defensive capabilities, you have to sneak your way around the corridors of the complex, climbing walls and skittering through vents till you find a lone victim to, er, hug faces with. The next level then starts with a wonderfully gruesome view from inside your victim's torso, which you gnaw and burst your way out of now in the second stage of Alien development: the Chestburster.
You're quite vulnerable at this stage and can no longer crawl around walls and ceilings; again, you have to stealthily move around the complex until you find a place with fluffy animals to nourish on and grow into an Alien drone proper.
Only then do you get the ability to hack and slash your opponents to pieces, pounce at them or bite their heads off and feed on their bodies to restore your own energy. While you might think playing as a lone Alien would require huge amounts of stealth, this isn't the case. Speed and cunning is more important - the latter is required to find alternate routes round the automated sentry guns that can cut you to pieces in seconds, while the former lets you get close to your opponents and take them out, especially with no long range weapons at your disposal.
A little disappointingly, enemies do tend to see you if even if you're hanging from the ceiling in a dark corner - in single player, at least. Multiplayer is a different story, since human players actually have to remember to look up.
Unlike the previous game or the Aliens movie, Aliens vs Predator 2 doesn't solely take place in the corridors of a deserted colony or an Alien hive. True, you do get to visit those locations, but you also get to wander around alien jungles as the Predator or through the corridors of the research complex and pods as all three species.
The level design is pretty damn good and convincing. In fact, the game has a lot in common with the Aliens comics, which often centre around the dodgy activities of those attempting to exploit the Alien as a bio-weapon. Such attempts usually end in tears and much tearing of flesh and Aliens vs Predator 2 is no different. All of this interspecies warfare looks superb, even on a modest Geforce2 MX; turn the detail levels lower, and the game will even run at a decent framerate on lower level PCs - we reached playable speeds on a PII But hey, when you're desperately backpedalling away from a horde of Aliens, you likely won't be admiring the texturing on the walls or your foes.
And believe me, you will be doing a fair bit of running in this game. Aliens vs Predator 2 has to be the scariest game I've played in ages - the programmers have gone out of their way to shock you at every opportunity. And when you're not being shocked, there's the almost unbearably enduring fear that something's about to come around the corner and take your head off. The atmosphere in Aliens vs Predator 2 is so thick, you could cut it with a chainsaw.
Granted, most of the occurrences in the game are scripted and the enemy AI really does very little, but it adds tremendously to the atmosphere to be standing around a corner or crawling through a vent and hear characters nearby crying, "Oh god, oh god" when they catch sight of you.
Or watch them fleeing when you release Facehugger specimens into the room - chaos has never been so enjoyable. There is one area in which Aliens vs Predator 2 could be improved. That area is teamwork, or more specifically, the lack of it.
While it's appropriate for Predators who usually work alone , the other species are historically prone to fighting in numbers. At least with the Alien campaign, for story reasons you start out as the only one around, and indeed, it's you who is responsible for setting the whole incident at the facility in motion. But I'd at least expect the marines to back up their operatives. Instead, you only ever see your comrades at the start of the early missions, standing by a dropship while you wander off to take on the aliens single-handedly for no explainable reason.
I wouldn't expect them to survive all the way through the game, but they should at least come with you initially. Thankfully, Aliens vs Predator 2's multiplayer mode does allow for teamwork so provided you end up in a team with people who actually feel like co-operating, you can take on your foes together.
Players can respectively play three marvelous and stunning game modes, which are Predator, Aliens and Colonial Marines. And each of these sets of characters has their own unique abilities, powers, weapons and behavior to progress in the game Aliens VS Predator free download PC game.
