Story:
Aliens vs. Predator is the newest Game in the franchise and this time it switches from being an RPG game to a first person shooter, the game itself goes to three threads, the first being a Marine not too similar to the ones featured in James Cameron's 1986 film Aliens heck there's one modelled on Vasquez from the same film.
The other two threads predictably follow an Alien thread which is quite good as you can freely move about the environment and sneak up on unsuspecting victims and give them a new one and the last is the Predator role where you can learn stealth, tri-beam firing and the dual blades.
And lastly, the game was initially banned in Australia until the developers appealed and got it through with an MA15+ uncut, personally I don't really mind the MA decision but if the R had been available, it may have gotten under that with Low Level Violence due to the blood scene throughout the game.
Visuals:
The Visuals for the PS3 version of the game go up to 720p and for the Predator side of the game the visuals work best as when you turn on the heat vision it looks extremely good as does the stealth mode, as for the Alien and Marine sides of the game I would say that the visuals were rather dull and generic looking.
Controls:
The controls of the game feel like the controls of many other first person shooters like the Call of Duty releases, the Resistance series and so on and so forth only the Alien section of the game differs somewhat as you can have a much more freeing use of the environment as I said before.
Overall:
Overall Aliens vs. Predator is not worth your time, while some sci-fi geeks may enjoy it but only if you were a super fan of both Aliens and Predator, the controls, visuals and overall experience feel very generic and with better titles on the market like Borderlands, you're best to look elsewhere.
