Critics were quick to praise this game's visual and gameplay improvements over the Jaguar predecessor, but did find its story and lack of any save features to be some pretty big downsides. The direct sequel, Aliens Versus Predator 2 , released in , swapping out the Rebellion developers for Monolith Productions.
This game once again follows the same three distinct campaign formula, but there are some particularly memorable moments in this entry, such as the opening of the Alien campaign, which sees players control an Alien from birth , taking it through each lifecycle, from Facehugger, to Chestburster, to fully grown Xeno. AvP 2 also had an online multiplayer mode which added a mercenaries faction to the game. While it didn't reach the critical heights of the first entry, AvP 2 is still fondly remembered by many today.
After those PC entries, the franchise takes an interesting turn, ditching the FPS roots and moving the series to some new genres. Retaining the three separate campaigns from previous entries, the game focuses on unit management and upgrading, as opposed to a traditional RTS which often puts base-building and resource gathering at the forefront of the gameplay. While critics praised the differences between the factions and the surprisingly impressive first foray into the RTS genre, most agreed that the AI imbalances, the controls, and the visuals let it down.
The next mainline release for the series was in , when Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem released for the PlayStation Portable. Based on the much maligned movie of the same name, Requiem adopted the third-person action-adventure genre for this entry. Unfortunately, not even Rebellion returning for development could save this title, with critics across the board panning the game for being just fine, with lackluster level design, poor and unresponsive AI, and no real difficulty curve, leading to unsatisfying gameplay.
Aliens vs. Predator , released in for PC, PS3 and Xbox , is likely the game that most recent fans of the series will have played.
Acting as a reboot to Rebellion's original PC series and developed once again by them , this entry brings the franchise back to its FPS roots and provides the three separate campaigns as expected. Sandbox , Simulation , Space Sim , Exploration.

Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch give you a chance to mess with each species' strengths and weaknesses, and they successfully incorporate aspects of the single-player game, such as the energy nodes that predators use to keep their plasma casters charged. The game's sense of clumsiness hovers over matches, but it's still satisfying to play as a marine and successfully fend off a scurrying xenomorph as he moves in for the kill, even when the super-sticky targeting removes some of the edge from your victory.
In Infestation, one player starts as the alien and converts his marine foes into fellow xenomorphs, while Predator Hunt is an advanced version of tag in which one player begins as the predator and seeks to make another player "it. The game even includes its own take on the ever-popular "kill off waves of enemies" co-op mode, here called Survivor. Survivor is not as exciting as what you'd find in similar modes in Gears of War 2 and Halo 3: ODST, but the two maps you play on capture some of the creepiness that characterizes the first two chapters of the marine campaign.
It's the little things that really drag the game down. Aliens vs. Predator seems to be a well-meaning attempt at reinvigorating a languishing series, but grotesque kills and some entertaining multiplayer moments don't cut it--not when so many slick and exciting shooters are on store shelves, vying for your time.
The attention to detail, the well-considered level design, and the sense of momentum that characterize the finest shooters are missing here. Predator is sometimes enjoyable but never escapes an overwhelming sense of carelessness, so while it may remind you of the good old days, it fails to recapture them.
