Have played all the previous (and now ancient) AvP games so I was really disappointed so see the result on this version
The story is catchy enough and they retain the feel, of the same story told from the 3 perspectives, which gives good dept to the story - something which the previous versions of AvP have also used with great success.
The action is decent enough, but my beef is with the control and movement implementation - its just "bulky" and "clumsy" and really only works for Marine. The previous versions of AvP had a great and intuitive layout and feel to the movement, which is kind of important for both Alien and also the Pred.
In the original series I could zip arround as an Alien, climbing and jumping with great ease and it was hilarious fun - both for single and especially in multiplayer.
So I was completely let down by this new implementation - pushed my way through the Alien story where the controls are usable but never gives the feel of controlling an Alien.
The Pred has allways been had to play, but this new implemention actually completely let me down - I actually stopped 2 steps into the Pred story due to sheer frustration to the controls/movement issues.
It just seems clumsy to the point of irritation.
While I might go back and retest the Pred, I'm put off for now and will try something else.
