Zero Punctuation: Aliens vs Predator
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
I would love to spend some time at Chateau d'Biteyhead with Dribbles and Mr. Crabface... alas, this game sounds to be about what I figured it would be. That is to say, three massive piles of shameless franchise cash-in offal mashed together in one disc-shaped crapstack.
Haha, glass teatowels and asphalt milkshakes. Yum. This game held absolutely no interest for me, apparently all the fun is in multiplayer, but Yahtzee being the social recluse that he is, he won't have experienced it. My friend at work keeps trying to make me buy it, but even on a 25% discount it isn't appealing. I suppose if you're a fan of the franchise it's a must-have, but I've not heard great things about it anyway.
Well huzzahs to you.HK_01 said:

This is probably the one time i can ever honestly agree 100% with Yahtzee, really AvP had so many shining points that it's a shame it turned out the way it did.
To begin with a tip of the hat to Yahtzee, as we all love dropping to our knees and giving him a good slathering. Moving along I have to wonder in this current economy, given the there's at least four bus loads of game developers now out of job, how in the world is Sega even still running along as a developer? Looking over the past years of recent releases and their failure to grab traction in the market. I believe we have quite a mystery on our hands, well unless they're running along on the sacrifices of virgins and children to at last one dark power.
he seemed to be kinder today (well kinder than some of the other avp reviews)
still good review!
still good review!
Now I'm a fan of the whole series, but I must admit that all of the complaints are the very same I had. Aliens getting stuck on vents and running in dizzying circles for a few seconds gets annoying a few times, Predators are all sneaky-sneaky assasinate then grab someone and die to all his mates. And humans are overpowered by the sheer fact that they must win and have a (somewhat) happy ending.
Honestly though, I'm amazed Yahtzee got through without even mentioning the multiplayer. That was one of the main draws for me in the first place, and some of the game modes (infestation mostly) are as addicting as crack. But honestly, what with the faults that AvP has, I'm amazed he wasn't terribly harsh on it.
Made my week anyway.
