I'm comparing it to Doom 3, Quake 4, Starship Troopers, Halo (The Flood levels) and some others.

I thought the sound was a game glitch until my brother told me it comes from my radar. It's horribly unnecessary when there are no enemies around.

The shooting mechanics are not bad but average. I recall you preordered the PC version because of 3D ? Because on the 360 the auto-aim is ridiculous (haven't tried if I can turn it off).

I also find it hilarious that you can block their attacks and punch them to the ground over and over again.

As a game it's maybe not average, but as a FPS it certainly is. With the amount of awesome available shooters, this one doesn't stand out at all.

For my first impressions I'd give it something around 7.5

Better than King Kong and maybe as good as Turok (this gens version of course).

Yeah had to cancel PC version cause 3D is not supported with this game. fucking Nvidia...no mass effect 2, no Bioshock 2, no AVP...but we got support for Dark Void YAY!

So im playing it on the 360 version.

I like the nice mix of melee with shooting and those aliens have some decent AI. They are not super intelligent to flank you but at the same time they are not supposed to be. The xenomorphs are animals and thats how they should behave...

Auto aim that the game has is welcome to me to be honest cause those aliens are very spaztic and go all over the place.

I have it on 360, got it today.

I love it, and im only on the 3rd Alien level.

Awesome game.

Initial impressions:

Too consolified, only 3 guns, seriously, what the fuck?
Aliens hit like pussies
Melee attack, seriously, when did you see anyone in the movies walk up to an Alien and hit it up close?

All in all, consoles take a shit on yet another franchise, so far.

More impressions:

Aliens are fucking slow. Seriously. Not only can I outrun them, I can fucking melee them. Let that ridiculousness sink in, you can run around punching Aliens in the face while they move across the ceiling at the speed of Master Chief (which is very very bad if anyone is wondering). I have yet to try the Pred and Alien parts, but the Marine part in AVP2 was what stood out the most due to it's pants-crapping scariness, and so far no pants have been shat in this game, just tears of sadness knowing you can melee aliens. If I play Predator part and the guy can only carry 3 weapons I think I will personally go hit Rebellion, then anyone over at MS and Sony who are responsible for making consoles.

P.S. You'd think developers aren't so retarded as to have v-sync lag anymore....

I don't know vlad... I am not comparing the game to previous AvP games when I play it. All those things you mentioned, while true, don't change the fact that gunplay is fun and challenging. When I got to the first predator encounter with the marine, I got my ass kicked so hard...and I am playing on normal.

Ok, soyouI can carry 3 weapons at a time...and yes you can melee aliens, ala condemned style (i find that mechanic kinda fun to be honest). If those are things that make you not like the game...then I don't know...pic below best represents your gaming style.

It's much slower and much easier. I'm only playing it on Hard instead of Insane because apaprently there are no good saves. And those thingds all add up to being a simple and easy game. I'm sorry, in the club scene I didn't even have ammo for the pulse rifle, and took out all 6 aliens with a damn gun. You know how? By running around and meleeing when they did a charg3 thing. That to me is a shitty game. I honestly don't remember goign around and meleeing demons in DOOM3, imagine jsut how retarded that would have been. You had a melee attack, yes, as one of the weapons, and you also got annihilated by everything unless you had berserker going.

Played some more AVP as a Predator now. I am sorry but the control scheme and the gameplay is completely ruined. I mean... 3rd mouse button to use your ranged disc or caster? Even then you are limited to a measily 4 weps, all of which take more or less no space, as in Predator lore, they are made to carry many many weapons. Overall this game game so far is one big disappointment after another, I might just have to reinstall AVP2 to get this bad taste out of my mind and forget this game ever existed.

It's painfully obvious just how much problems a limiting scheme that the consoles have has caused to this game. I mean seriously... 3rd mouse button to fire. I don't think I have seen something as bad as this for a long long time. The game design for AVP2 was perfect. Here they obviously tried to shoehorn it to the limitations of a console and the result is a pretty bad failure.

72 isn't bad, it just means the game is ok to good

@Vlad

Works pretty well for me playing on a 360...
