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!

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.

I don't understand why people always complain about the long animations for the grab kills. Nothing is forcing you to use the grab kills, they are an option. If you do the instant kill move you balance that advantage with the disadvantage of being vulnerable. If you don't want to suffer the vulnerability, then just don't do the move.snowplow said:
The heavy attack takes longer, you have to move your predator during the windup to stay on target. Otherwise just keep pounding with the quick jab. Or go find a weapon and blast him one.
You know, I already HAVE AVP. Just an older one. And it really REALLY sounded like Yahtzee was reviewing it rather than some newer game that stole the same name because game companies now lack even the creativity to put NUMBERS after the bloody words in their titles.
They have ads at the top of the screen and the bottom, they don't need obtrusive ones that like that. There's a way to advertise without being annoying.Phsx2 said:
