    Default Aliens vs Preator 2

    I'm thinking on getting myself AvP2, am interested in SP. Anyone here tried this? Is it worth the time & money?

    It's a good laugh, if I remember, but then, I like any FPS with a flamethrower...

    AvP2 is worth the money. Especially playing marine is a good laugh. But the alien and predator campaigns is well done, the missions are a lot cooler than AvP, like alien you start as facehugger and develop slowly into an alien.

    The anklebiter mission is really hard but very cool.

    Bit dated now but that will mean its cheap! Its a lot of fun if your into that whole genre. The multiplayer is not bad either, survivor mode where one person is an alien, and every person that gets bitten turns into aliens, is bag loads of fun. When your all alone hiding in a corner with 20 human controlled aliens running around for you...gah!

    Laugh?

    That game is responsible for me starting to like survival/horror games. I mean that you'll activly kill every (big) bug that sets of your motion detector says something.

    It's best to avoid restarting the mission (use a save instead) after that you get your gear back, as it will change your weapons. And the smart gun is a much relaxing weapon than the gauss rifle(?) (and you can still complete the levels without much problems). This is for the first time through to increase the scare effect.

    The alien and predator SP isn't as scary but still good.

    So yeah it's worth the time & money. Not sure about the expansion though (Edit: as I haven't played it).






    And yeah I know that "laugh" is sarcastic here

    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Definitely get AvP2. Single player as marine is horrificly scary and atmospheric, while the multiplayer experience was the single most disturbing and horrifying experience i've ever known.

    Pure brilliance.

    AvP2 is worth the money for sure. I love playing as Predator with all his gadgets n' stuff, but the Marine and Aliens are extremely fun too. You won't be dissapointed.
