Short Version: While not pushing any boundaries in gameplay or graphics, Aliens vs. Predator offers a solid and authentic experience for fans of the franchise.
Game Rant reviews Aliens vs. Predator
The first Aliens vs. Predator video game released back in 1999 and we later were witness to two feature films based on the property, combining two popular and well-known sci-fi properties.
Unfortunately for fans, the recent movies were not good but the video game was. Sega and Rebellion Developments have revisited Aliens vs. Predator after a decade and brought back the three-way campaign and comprehensive multiplayer with it.
First off, I’ll say that this game earns its title and truely delivers an authentic Aliens and Predator experience. If you’re a fan of either franchise, I’d recommend you check this title out.

UK-based Rebellion's sci-fi action video game "Aliens vs. Predator" is a story-driven first-person shooter, offering players three separate single-player campaigns as either an 'Alien', 'Predator', or 'Marine'.
In first person gameplay, players survive, hunt and prey in deadly jungles and swamps surrounding the colony of 'Freya’s Prospect'.
"...As the Marine, you’ll experience a claustrophobic and terrifying experience where light is your friend, but there’s never enough. However, the United States Marine Corps are humanity’s last line of defence, and as such they are armed to the teeth with the very latest in high explosive and automatic weaponry...
"As the 'Predator', you will stalk from the shadows and from above, passing athletically through the treetops to ambush your victims. Although equipped with an array of powerful, exotic weapons and tracking equipment, honour ultimately dictates that you must get in close and take your trophies face to face.
