THE GOOD:AvP novelty is cool, playing as Aliens rules, ExoSuits are awesome
THE BAD:
Generic units, playing as Marines is bland, sub-par audio quality
SUMMARY:
Let me start out by saying that I'm a huge Alien, Predator, and AvP nut. That instantly makes me biased in favor of this game. I held out on buying it for a very long time, but I ultimately broke down and bought a new copy of the game recently. While AvP: Extinction could have been an absolutely stellar game, it ultimately comes across as a reasonably mediocre real-time strategy game.
The plot is pretty basic. It all takes place on the planet LV-742, a Weyland-Yutani mining colony. Predators have been hunting Aliens for a long time, humans show up and have an Alien infestation problem, all three races fight eachother. The missions provide some insight into the grander plot, but you only really get a true sense of what's going on if you beat the campaigns for all three races....
