The latest AVP videogame is out after multiple poor attempts at Alien, Predator and AVP games, begging the query have developers Rebellion at last produced a game to satisfy the hardcore AVP fans?

The answer in brief is yes. Launched for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC the new AVP videogame comprises three campaigns, allowing the user to control the hunter, survivor or prey. Beginning on the Colonial Marines campaign, you start as the rookie of the workforce on a small ship that witnesses a large Predator vessel demolish your baseship. Of course the only option available is for your vessel to land on an unchartered planet.

The next cutscene features your character coming to after being knocked out during the deployment, and being instructed by Tequila (remarkably resembling Vasquez from Aliens) that this mission will turn into a "bug hunt". The next few levels are only for the user to get to grips with the controls, which might be easy to most FPS users. Players will be warding off hordes of xenomorphs whilst hoping for an elevator to bring you to safety.

It's throughout this gameplay users will notice how impressive the lighting of the latest AVP videogame is; was that a vent falling off? or was it a xenomorph on the ceiling? The answer is that you won't know until it may be too late! Lighting has been used to master effect in creating tense and uncertain gameplay. The weapons look and sound genuine to the Alien saga.

If the Marines mission is the closest to an FPS as possible in this AVP videogame, then the Aliens mission is the furthest away from that. The story opens with an Alien breeding laboratory with test specimens being harvested for their bioweapons research. Nevertheless your Alien is special, as you resolve to make your escape through your surrogate host's throat, this signifies you are a more canny breed of Alien. An energy failure offers you the ideal chance to make your escape. Mission aims are given to you telepathically from the Alien Queen, and your character itself is a moving weapon, armed with razor tipped tail. Alien play style favours stealth and shock attacks from the darkness, and it is the most versatile of the characters.

The Predator mission is a mixture of the Marine and Alien levels. Being a Predator you rely closely on your superior technology and use of stealth to eradicate your prey. The predator mission in this AVP videogame is to locate and retrieve the bodies of multiple "youngbloods"; Predators which have gone missing. The Predator is probably the most popular of the three campaigns in this AVP videogame, because of all its weaponry and totally violent steath kills.

Overall, the latest AVP videogame will satisfy the hardcore fans as it remains faithful to both the Alien and Predator franchises. The visuals should have been improved slightly but the lighting and sound work far make up for any graphical gripes. Combining these aspects with a brilliant multiplayer mode has created one of the best AVP videogame to date.
