Description
Aliens Versus Predator is a sci-fi first-person shooter based on the associated film series. The game has three playable species, each bearing different missions and plotlines.
- Aliens... their armor is quite strong and they have self-healing abilities. Their only weapons are their own body parts: claws for close combat, their deadly tail, and their inner mouth that can crack through an enemy skull if close enough. They can't be hurt through falls, and can generate enough light to see clearly ahead through darkness. Their strength lies in flexibility and speed.
- Humans... US Marines, as portrayed by Michael Biehn in the film 'Aliens'. You can have rather strong firepower that ranges from the fast-shooting and self-locating target piercing miniguns all the way to the rocket launchers, and even more powerful weapons. The marines are the most horror-centric species to play as, being designed to seem the most vulnerable, despite included night-vision and radar modes.
- Predators... Their power is their strength, and their sight. They have at least four ways of seeing a picture - self-locating aliens, self-recognizing humans, night-vision, and more... Their weapons are the most precise, deadly, and ranged of those in the game, being ideally suited to stealth-based gameplay. Predators also have the ability to zoom an image in and out when seeking someone, thus preventing the need to close with an enemy.
There are several multiplayer modes. For a difficult game, you can pit all the players against the horde of computer creatures (which includes Alienators and Predaliens that are like stronger mutants and look rather different). Alternatively, you can choose species and an arena to pit human players against each other.

Trivia
Unlike most modern First person Shooters, Aliens vs. Predator uses a peer to peer system for multiplayer instead of a client / server system.
This particularity has been known to cause quite a lot of problem with online gaming, even if the game played fine on a LAN.
