Aliens vs. Predator™

One of the greatest games made. Rebellion, please revive this franchise for the love of GOD.

i love this game. My first time playing it was on the 360 after i rented it from blockbuster for a few days as a teen. Its an amazing game, and while the multiplayer is mostly dead, you can still find a server match if you are lucky. besides, the content for the campaigns and the co-op/single player wave survival you can do as a marine is pretty fun too.

I like that it allows you to play from all 3 species POV, but what I don't like there isn't more to the game it's such a good game.

Alright Campaign (There's 3), good PvP but needs getting used too. A remastered version would be amazing!

Its a classic. meets all expectations considering how old it is

I loved this game back on the 360 when it came out, it still holds up today. Some would say that the older PC only AvP games were better, I do agree, but this one is still very fun to play, looks and sounds great and has no performance issues or weird graphics problems. We really didn't know how good we had it in 2010!

The game is really fun and I think everyone should play it. it's cool asf and its good for recording for youtube

Still a fantastic game all these years later, it definitely holds up! The mechanics for the Alien and Predator in particular are still super unique and innovative, I just wish we had full length campaigns or stand alone games with similar gameplay.

It also plays extremely well on the Steam Deck, even with all the graphics settings on maximum! You just have to launch the game in desktop mode first to close the text file that opens after booting it up for the first time, and switch to gamepad mode in the controls settings. After that it plays pretty much the exact same way as it did on the Xbox 360!

If you're a fan of Aliens versus Predator, and their respective franchises, this is a must play! Just be aware that the multiplayer mode has since run its course, but the singleplayer campaigns are one-hundred percent worth it!

great game love how you can play all three perspectives

The Predator campaign is soooooooooooo cool. I felt like a kid sitting right next to the TV playing PS2 with my mouth wide open, completely hypnotized. Looks and feels a lot like the first F.E.A.R. and Dead Space. Linear, but still awesome.

The game is just genuinely unplayable. Doesn't run on steam at all. Completely just breaks the game itself with not even allowing you to click onto anything. if you do, it'll kick you out of the game while it's still running in the background and will not let you go back into the game without it completely breaking steam and just shows a small screen of the game.

I love this game. Remember playing this when I was young. Enjoyed it, as I played through each campaign, along with the multiplayer. but, with it being on steam, as such, this game is completely broken and unplayable, as well with Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. Such iconic games to be ruined by steam and not be fixed whatsoever. I recommend not even paying for this game unless you figure out a solution to this problem. Not even worth spending money on it while the game is on discount.

The only things I regret was spending $3.74 and believing I could jump into this game to feel nostalgia, to run through each campaign, feeling like a little child again when I first played this on Xbox... Shame.

Campaigns are all great even though the maps are repeated. The marine campaign is exactly what you think it is unless your thinking about colonial marines then its 10 times better. squashing bugs while taking down utani and get to fight a predator along the way. While the alien can make you motion sick and the predator can give you a headache from all the camera bobbing you can easily get through it with experience but if you cant try an fov patch to help out. Survival is fun and is a great way to just chill out and squash some bugs. Multiplayer while it can be good is complete ass. its half alive and the only way you can consistently get into game is through discord. once your in a match though you better pray that nobody is a sweat cause you wont have ANY fun after that. The marines have the sniper that two taps everything and the predator and aliens just have to heavy spam. Unless your playing a full match with just friends don't play it and if you want to 100% all achievements legitimately without friends don't even dream about it.

Aliens campaign: Pretty underwhelming. It does have some cool executions though.

Marine campaign: First half is pretty tense. Great atmosphere, gunplay is solid. It still looks decent graphically. Aliens feel really crunchy to shoot. Melee system is interesting and i like the dismemberment system. Flamethrower is completely useless, shotgun is decent, pulse rifle is also good, but i wish the grenade launcher had better aoe damage. Sniper rifle is good too. Second half is not as great, i prefer killing aliens over androids. The fight against the predator is hilariously easy.

Predator campaign: The predator looks fantastic. Really not a fan of the core gameplay for this campaign. Early on you feel super weak. The only two weapons worth using are the shoulder turret and spear. I don't like how you have to charge your battery.

Conclusion: The game is not as good as I remember. In my opinion the only worthwile campaign is the marine one. I can see people liking the predator campaign if you're into stealth. The alien campaign feels like an afterthought.

This game is every bit worth the 15 dollars it costs, even more so if you get it on sale. This is not only a good game by itself, but this is one of the best alien games. The marine campaign is kinda short but you also have the predator and alien campaigns. Its a really good game.

This game is everything that is wrong with modern game design. Everything is scripted and boring, even movement such as jumping is restricted to predetermined jump points as the predator. I didn't even bother to try out the other two campaigns. If you're interested in this because you liked the original AvP game, don't bother as none of the things that made the original fun are in this one.

Love this game. But it takes too much work to get it playable on Windows 11. Had to go through and use "Run as Admin" and compatibility mode/Win 8 just to get it working. But as soon as something interrupts your game, like another window popping up or tabbing out of the game, it wigs out and refuses to work, forcing you to restart it. Can't recommend it in it's current state. Even on a steep sale.

This game i would say one of the best games i played but there is a problem and that problem is Judgement player's look a the oh it's a dead game its probably Oh it's a bad game probably if it has almost zero players and no one buys its like life if you don't have no friends and look ugly no one will want to be friends with you because they think that you are a jerk because you look ugly but if someone tries something for the first time it will be a 50% that that person will like you and be friends with you or they will not be friends with you and think that you are a bad person and start making rumors about you and you just don't friends

Graphics? Mid
Controls? Jank
Story? Good
Missions? Fullfilling
Collectibles? Ok

Final Grade? 20/10 Perfect Flawless Game, 100% recommend!!

Alien, Predator, and Marine are ALL fun to play as.

AT THE FIRST PART OF THE GAME WHEN I TRY TO KILL SOMEBUDDY ON THE CILING IT LOGS ME OUT

Excellent game. Also runs on steam deck despite being listed as "unsupported". Just open the game in desktop mode, close the text window that pops up, and return to game mode. It'll launch normally after that. I just wish people still played the multiplayer.

I fucking loved this game because it was so special and the gameplay was amazing.

Marine gameplay: it was boring the first 2 missions then it became more interesting and enjoyable because of the whole story and gameplayt itself. It had some horror moments ngl when u just got jumpscared by an Alien or something like that, kinda gore too so it was nice for a videogame

Alien gameplay: It was really special cause not a lof of games have the "future" or "option" to play as the "villian" normally it's some boring crap but being able to play as an Alien it was really nice. The most fun part was the "hunting" and by this i mean when u climbed onto a wall and then just jumped into someones head and eat it or something ( not as gore but still nice ).

Predator gameplay: This has to be my favourite story out of all 3 cause i just like the "Predator" character and I do not know the lore or watch to many stuff about Predator but in games it's really special when it comes to combat especially or stealth. It was really fun having to defeat both the humans/robots and aliens as i did with the other 2. Combat was lovely and Predator was the more gore out of all of them being able to rip someone's head off with his spine too so yeah it was grate.

But the most special part for me as a story game lover it was that you get to play 3 different stories in which each character ( marine, alien or predator ) has they're own "win" of the whole mission. Not a lot of games have multiple stories in just 1 game.

GG's

If some video games this game again but new and more levels but what would like is if someone made a survival but instead playiny as a human but as a Alien or a Predater too and I would like a game just like this one but AVP 2

Good game, but too console oriented with its lock-on mechanics and movement, so 2001's AVP2 remains the peak of the series.

I really want to like this game, but I can't. Not in good conscience.
Back in 2010 this game was not well received and in 2025 I can see why. Imagine a good game, but some douchebag hacker (or management executive) decided to worm into the files and start removing critical components and you will have AvP 2010.

Campaigns (spoilers for a 15 year old game)
AVP in general was never really about the story. I concede that. Aliens break free, Predators go "bet!" and a bunch of humans die before you care to memorize their names. It's a scifi horror story first and this game is no different. This less than 18 hours is where you will have your most fun.

Marine
The true sci-fi horror experience. Run around shooting for your life running low on ammunition and listen to your motion tracker. It's all very nice, but it's more alien centered than predator and while you do fight one eventually (great fight) that's it. The last few missions you're fighting combat androids which to be frank are just really durable humans. I didn't buy this game to fight combat androids. If you thought marines were irrelevant in the Alien vs Predator series....Controls like a basic fps, but you do get a single melee attack to stun opponents that get to close. You get a sniper rifle, shotgun, flamethrower, pulse rifle, smartgun, and a pistol throughout the campaign. These weapons are horribly balanced and you'l find yourself moving to the sniper rifle and shotgun. (Turns out fire is NOT effective against xenomorphs. It makes them WORSE. They will tank that shit and only after a good 30 seconds of flaming them will they STILL crawl to you and then fucking explode and kill you. )

Alien
Very fun. Play as a xenomorph. Terrorize stupid humans. headbite em, harvest em, stick your tail up their asses. Walk on any surface. Do be mindful of it though as moving across the surfaces too fast will cause motion sickness. A bit of a learning curve, but by the time you're fighting the predator, again a single level of fighting them, you are a pro. Shortest campaign. Queen dies WAY to early and you only really get to play as "6" who is a xenomorph that can turn into a queen.... despite clearly not being a praetorian.... Don't think about it. Can't really play as a facehugger, chestburster, or queen so you don't really experience the hive, just the individual standard drone (that again can just turn into a queen *angry nerd noises*).

Predator
Despite having the most overpowered arsenal in the game, also has the hardest campaign out of the three. Most of your weapons are not given to you and you have to earn and in addition half of those weapons require energy pickups or give away your location. Much like the marine, weapon balance is horrible with certain things outclassing others. Your cloak only sorta works, no better than the xenomorph just being a xenomorph, and of all the races you will be dealing the most with the melee system (heavy>block>light>heavy) and the jumping system (lshift+spacebar to LoS approved spot), both of which are hated. All in all the controls are very technical and clunky. There's got to be a simpler way to do this. You do have the most informative narrative though as you get the best explanation of what is going on with this campaign.

All of these campaigns have collectibles (royal jelly, skull belts, audio dialogues) that the game encourages you to collect them all. There's many guides for doing this. I don't know why, because THERE ARE NO REWARDS FOR COLLECTING ALL THE COLLECTIBLES. No multiplayer skins, no new weapons, no secret levels, no critical lore development. You get a steam achievement and if you play marine you can hear some literal who's ramblings about how scawy everything is. If you play games for the sake of getting achievements, you are likely the same kind of idiot who would unironically buy NFT's as both are worthless PNG's that you invest copious amounts of time and energy in. Nobody cares.

"Multiplayer".
I have SEVERAL bits of anger toward "multiplayer", Which for the sake of this review will be covering everything that's not campaign.
-NO SINGLEPLAYER SKIRMISH MODE If you want to just play on your own and get a feel of the game you can not just load a deathmatch map with AI bots to practice like most deathmatch games. Multiplayer is multiplayer, you must be playing with other people.
-As of 2025 most of the multiplayer community is gone and all that is ever really played is interspecies DM where you have a predator, 2 aliens, and a marine team up to gank you. Say goodbye to loreful battles as this is essentially CoD with a AVP mod. Even if you can stomach this the matches will be really small.
-may or may not have a hacker problem.
-The remaining six dudes you'll be playing multiplayer with have all decided to NOT play those dlc maps you think are cool. Because reasons.
-Predators must hunt for their weapons across the map. While I get why they did this you are literally bringing a knife to a gunfight, at least marines got a pulse rifle and aliens have no handicaps whatsoever.
-game has the audacity to give a rank skin system and not include all the skins. Preorder skins will need to be hacked to get to. Not that they are worth it. You can't even buy them in a collectors edition.
-survival mode is literally you being marines fighting hordes of aliens. That's it. Aliens don't even change up composition...its the same....mapset...with more of the ...same.....enemy... You can play it alone though so there's that. If you want to use your dlc you will do it here.

All in all I find that this game either had good ideas that were slashed by some higher up or the game was just rushed. I will give credit where it's due as this is the best LOOKING AvP game on the market, but I would give some of the other games a try. (Many of them are so old now that they're free! :) ) This one needs a "modern" dev team to look at and touch it up a bit. Zero retention beyond campaigns

HOW TO FIX AVP 2010
-Allow bots to be implemented in multiplayer matches if not allow a skirmish version of multiplayer. They don't have to be 1000iq bots, nothing is going to compete with a player, but what was given in the campaign will suffice. I would like an attempt.
-rebalance weapons of marines and predators. tweak a few numbers. Not everything has to instakill for the sake of balance.
-streamline predator controls.
-include more features in the command prompt for singleplayer modes. Let me spawn predators/aliens so I can have little ai battles or make the campaigns more interesting.
-Give something for players who collected all the collectibles for their respective races. A skin, a weapon, a map to play on, anything that extends playing beyond campaign.

6/10 until then.

very fun story

who doesn't love playing an Alien a predator or a marine

This is considered old school by todays standards
however this game still holds its ground as one of the best alien games to date

My favorite avp game while i do love avp 2 it barely gave any info on where to go so iwas stuck and annoyed many times the campaign mode here is great but every story happening at the same time did feel like it limited the gameplay the multiplayer also feels more unbalanced then avp 2 overall good game for us avp fans

great game, marine campaign is the best imo

Loving this one!! Just a heads up though, the info for controller support on Steam is incorrect. It says "Controllers Not Supported" but the game absolutely does work with a controller. ohhhh yurrrrrr!

It's good. The mechanic and attention to detail is surprisingly well for a game released in 2010. But the story is kind of short and not so great. But still a good game
7/10

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Loved it, now where is my new updated version.... I miss turning off the lights and pissing myself as a marine.

Divertido demais so queria ter tido mais tempo com o alien, pra mim foi a melhor campanha.

An old school shooter that is stupid fun

Very good. Very nostalgic. I love it :3

I really want to recommend this game, but the fact that it crashes and I had to download 3 cracked files from an unknown source on the internet, is not letting me recommend buying it. This problem is very common among players, and the publisher just stopped support. But then also Valve should not release a game that you pay for, and you cannot even run it as is. It would have been just easier to get a pirate version.

Aside this, it is always a pleasure to venture to the avsp world again, and I think this is an okay take on it. Not nearly as good as avsp2, but still I enjoyed the atmosphere. The story and characters are meh, and most of the situations we've already seen. I really missed the interesting characters and lively interactions between them, like in avsp2. Also it would have been nice to have some connection with the previous titles.
The graphic presentation of the world is very good.

The customisation of the control is not bad, but not enough options. Like "hold/toggle" stuff. Alien wall movement was glitchy, pounce is only available when given the promt, the quick tail attack can easily fail just to end up in a slow heavy attack.
I liked that the alien is a glass cannon this time and fits in the game from the others' perspective.

The predator's stick is just OP. Almost instant retrieving is just BS. Also the predator tooling system was a bit hard to use for me. It was not bad, but with some more options in the menus it could have been nice.

The melee system is an interesting take, but I couldn't turn off the prompts, therefore couldn't see what a black alien was doing in a dark place when a bright prompt is flashing in my screen.
I couldn't swap the marine weapon order.
The flashlight was BS, I can't believe that a simple headlight was not available in the future, where they travelled between star systems. But I also understand that is for the atmosphere.

So it's an okay game, definitely worth playing through once for the feeling, but for the technical difficulties mentioned I will not recommend it. Also there is no cloudsave for the singleplayer, which is just bad.

NO ONE PLAYS THIS GAME ANYMORE!!!! Max amount of players is 20 to 14.
This game is only worth it if you have 4 friends, but even still it lags and has poor blooming.

If you like wasting 34 bucks for a bunch of stuff that mostly multiplayer base, only to realize its just a shitty alien wave shooter- you're better off playing any OTHER alien game. Like AVP 10. At least the campaign in that game isnt false advertisement and graphically aged well.
If you play this for the campaign, good for you I guess, but as a multiplayer experience it's dead.

It was good, up until somehow they fucked up the .exe files with the lastest update/patch

Each campaign is extremely fun and the game does a great job of giving you an idea of what it's like to be in the AvP universe. My only problem with the game is the campaigns are just too short.

Time for another bughunt, Marines.

First time playing Aliens vs Predator from 2010 (also known as AvP 3) and I was really hype about it.

The concept is cool, playing with or against well known horror aliens like the xenomorph or the predator, also adding humans into the mix is a cool idea. Graphics for its time are alright, especially the lighting and the shadow effects. The game contains multiple campaigns where you can play with all factions, all of them play differently, which is interesting to have. Every campaign has some kind of collectibles as well and the game has achievements to complete. The sound design and the soundtrack is really fitting to AvP. The game also tries to be authentic to the Alien and Predator movies, some moments from the game trying to replicate scenes from said movies, and I think the fans can appreciate these. Each campaign has their iconic equipment to use and areas to play in. When it was active, the multiplayer was considered to be great in this game.

But in my opinion this game has some issues which just makes the product hard to enjoy. If you have played through the marine campaign, you basically saw all of the maps in the single player, because the other campaigns play on the same maps as the marine campaign. Then, for me the game was too dark and this was especially annoying with the marines. The game in general is hard, even on medium difficulty can give you a hard time, although there are exceptions to note here, which I will talk about later. The story for each campaign was not interesting for me at all even though it covers most aspects of the universe and tries to show some kind of the plot, but with no avail, the voice acting also was questionable at times. The control scheme was a struggle to get used to it. The playtime of each campaign is short, the longest one is the marine campaign with it's 2-3 hours length, the predator campaign takes 1-1 and half hour to beat and the alien one is just less than an hour long.

I played all campaigns on hard difficulty and they have their own pros and cons as well...

Marine campaign
This one actually starts out well, the horror factor is noticeable in the first few levels and story wise it has a good introduction, but these disappears later. This is one of the hardest campaigns in this game and in my opinion the least enjoyable as well. Maps are too dark for the marines even with flashlight and flares, making the aliens hard to detect. Enemies here are annoying to fight against, especially the xenomorphs and the androids which gave me a headache, thanks to the marines' sluggish movements which makes you an easy target and barely can make you dodge attacks. Speaking of sluggish movements, some maps has big areas to cover and because of this it can take minutes to go on foot, giving you some down time. Melee system is just useless to have for this faction.

I can understand that in AvP the marines are the weakest faction, so they should have the most difficult campaign as well with their difficulties which makes the game somewhat authentic, but honestly this was just not fun to play through.

Predator campaign
Comparing to the marine, the predator has enjoyable abilities and equipments gameplay wise, it also has an interesting looking melee system which work like as a rock-paper-scissors game, and the visual representation in the HUD and the appearance of the predator works well and makes it distinguishable from the other factions. However, this campaign is highly dependent on the player's ability to understand this character, because even though the game gives you a tutorial level, the first few levels are going to be difficult if you can't understand the tutorial and use it in action. Personally, this was more annoying at first then the marine campaign in general, but after a lot of trial and error I got used to it, especially when you realize that you want to avoid confrontation with the enemies and try to separate them as much as possible, and I can say that this campaign is much easier than the marine one. The melee system which seems interesting gets annoying to use, because on higher difficulty I was barely able to kill anyone with it, and in the end you will going to use one or two equipment and just cheese your way through of everything.

If you can get used to the predator playstyle I think this campaign can be alright, but the playtime it's still short and the first few levels are still hell to get through, but this is miles better than the marine campaign.

Alien campaign
This campaign is similar to the Predator one, but with less equipment to use. It's also somewhat heavy on melee combat but it's more about executing enemies from behind. Once again the HUD and visual representation is different from what we saw so far and the difficulty is pretty alright here, except in the last boss fight which is a bit hard mainly because you don't know how to deal with the enemy. Xenomorph's movement is pretty cool, as you can move on walls and go in vents, but sometimes certain areas don't connect well and you can't really chain these movements together.

This is definitely the highlight of the game, however as I wrote before it's the shortest one as well. This gives some decent fun.

Verdict
I'm not a big AvP or Aliens or Predator fan and since the public multiplayer is not active and you can only play it with friends, I can only go by the campaigns and to be honest it was a mixed experience. I can recommend playing this only if you are either a fan or you want to play something difficult, otherwise I would skip it. 15€ is a lot for it, but around 5-7€ is a good price to pay.

great game to bad colonial marines wont let you play as , the aliens , with out it being a net worked game , so , it is an awesome game wish there were more levels

Had to install a fix to be able to play it in 2025 but game holds up pretty good, in case anybody wants to download the fix this is the link, you just got to paste it in the game properties and you are all set. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ASwAgYBABw3RABEkokldsUo2JYbl4vWS/view

This game is absolutely BAD ASS.

If you're looking for some heady, slow walking simulator like Alien Isolation (2014) this is not that game.

But if you're looking for 3 different action packed campaigns (playing as marines, alien, and predator) with tons of licensed audio from the movies as you blast away at xenos this game is AWESOME.

The jump scares in this game are wonderful. The gameplay is well done and full of variety. I can't say enough about how surprised I am that this game is so good.

Awesome fun thrilling FPS set in The Aliens And Predator universe! A must-have for all fans of Aliens and Predator!

It's nice to be able to play as a xenomorph predator and marine with there own campaign's

kinda clunky and buggy sometimes (specialy frustrating as Alien) but dude... You can be an Alien. Come on.

This game has been taken over by the woke liberal agenda's woke mind virus, firstly as a xenomorph, instead of "moving" across the walls you "Transition", secondly, all xenomorphs are female, where are the men? this DEI shit is RUINING gaming... thirdly the xenomorph has a MATRIARCH, this is very wrong, as the ruling class should have a MAN at it's top. 0/10, would hiss and spit acid again like the xeno agent that i am.

Still a great game to play and really takes me back. I had seen a review on here saying it doesn't work however this has not been true for me at least.. I have no idea what they was doing wrong, maybe they're new to steam, PC games, or older games lol.

However, still a working game for campaign I haven't tried multiplayer because I just assumed there wouldn't be enough players to get a lobby.

If you're in it for the story it's still 101/10
