Reviewers get games sooner if the publisher and devs want reviews out before the release. That's why i hoped he would be among the people reviewing it. Ign, ps3 magazine, and several other reviwers already have scores out.ark123 said:

AngryJoe said it wasn't all that hot either
but I did find the Pred and the Alien wedding at the end pretty funny

Yeah i didn't think it was all that bad, but Yahtzee is right.
The one thing he didn't mention is how much better the original is, with it's one hit Kills for the Alien and Predator.
The point when I started to realise prefered the original PC edition was 3 minutes into the Alien campaign when I had to tail-whip a weaponless NPC 3 times to kill him.
In the PC game that would have taken his head and probably arms off with the first hit...
Anyway my review goes up tomorrow on http://www.square-go.com [/obligatory self promotion]

Hee Alien's Vs. Preadator, neat... I keep wondering if he's going to get to Silent Hill Shattered Memories... Maybe Australian release times are the reason he hasn't yet..
very good review. one of the best so far. quite amusing.
i already had the game, and it is as good as he says. it can be fun, but it is pitifully short. wasn't quite as good as AVP2. not that that was a great game either.

I'm actually kinda suprised there was no mention of the complete lack of content in the game. Given that the discs can hold tremendous amounts of data, there was pretty much fuck-all on offer.
Each campaign is played over exactly the same levels, but with different routes, and in a different order, and when one race runs around like five year old on crack and another like a legless elephant, it's not so much that the gameplay is longer for one campaign; it just takes a fucking year to get to the same place.
The most irritating thing about the whole polava was the multipler; four years to get in to a game, and four seconds to find out you absolutely suck. Complete with the same 2-4 second "stealth" kill animations as featured in the single player (possibly for the "holy fuck look how many different ways you can kill your enemies!" video that Sega/Rebellion so proudly boasted), it turns into nothing more than a fucking man-train of anal penetration. You walk into a game, see somebody facing away from you, and before you've even finished waiting for your fiasco of a kill to finish, the same fucking guy is stood behind you doing the same to you. At what point did it ever occur to the developers that spending half your game time watching animations was a glorious way to play a multiplayer? Thanks for completely fucking missing the point, asshats. Remind me never to spend money on your movi-err, games again.

Overall i thought the game was very entertaining, and i will agree that the alien campaign was the best. Multiplayer is pretty fun too.
This was awesome! I always look forward to reading Yatzee's columns and watching his videos every week. Sometimes they have their comedic slumps and don't hit me as hard, but I think that's mainly because I haven't played any of the games he's reviewed for weeks now. Aliens Vs Predator 2 was always one of my favorite PC FPS games, so I can completely relate to what he's talking about here. Well done sir.
Nice review, I think this pretty much summed up what I though the game would be. Keep 'em coming, Yahtzee.
By the way, I'm now going to start casually using, "Humans tasty, let's eat them all. Yum yum." Even if it doesn't fit into the context of a conversation, it's just that awesome.

does yahtzee know about Predator Concrete Jungle for the ps2?
because that's basically the game that he suggested (3rd person predator, tight combat, full game length)

Ok, I have been hearing a lot of "im not gonna buy that game now" after Yahtzee has reviewed it (not just for this one, its happened with others). Dont let Yahtzee's reviews discourage you, he's a fucking game critic, that last person I want reviewing a game is a critic (yes I do know what critic means its just that the definition has slowly changed throughout time
I wasn't promoting piracy. I just feel really let down. :/ This game doesn't really feel something I would pay 60 for.
Stop crying about Heavy Rain, for fucks sake. You're all so fucking annoying.
OT: Had a good laugh, especially with the bread bit.

Awsome review as always.I played the demo and found it could have been good if,like in the video,the alian wasnt so damn hard to control on the walls,the prediter wasn't so damn slow with his moves,and if the humans didn't play like every other fps in the world and had some balls to fight.
