The greatly increased power of the Jaguar over the other existing consoles at the time allowed for much improved graphics and a bigger field of view then previously possible which further helped to make AvP superior to the many craptastic Doom ports and knock-offs beginning to flood the console market. Being one of the earliest FPS games on a console it was also startling to be attacked from any side with many jump out of your seat moments caused by suddenly hearing an aliens screech and getting hit from behind. It's easy to get lost too since you can more or less freely navigate the many decks within the ship which greatly adds to the tension when you take a wrong turn and stumble upon a horde of enemies. Combined with the maze-like corridors it creates a very claustrophobic feeling. There is no background music, only the ambient sound effects of the huge ship and the monsters that populate it. Regardless of which character you select, AvP is an extremely tense horror game. Not only did they strike suddenly, they also blocked your view making it hard to defend against the swarms of aliens that were often lurking nearby. Like the predator you are limited in how you can move around the ship with air ducts being the only option.įace huggers were some of the most terrifying enemies in the game. Another advantage is that the predator's cloak doesn't work on you, very useful since your objective of rescuing the queen from a predator ship means you'll be fighting lots of them. You can't heal yourself at all, but you can cocoon any marines you kill to create a respawn point in case you die.
The alien character stands out from the other two because you are limited to melee attacks but can also move significantly faster. The predator can use and carry med kits but is limited to using elevators to get around the ship. Killing enemies while visible with your melee wrist blades will earn you the most points, whereas as using ranged weapon while cloaked will actually cost you honor points causing you to lose access to some of your upgraded weapons. True to the films you come armed to the teeth and can cloak to (mostly) hide from enemies, but instead of scavenging weapons you earn them through honor points. As a predator your mission is to kill the alien queen and claim her skull as a trophy. You can also heal yourself with medkits (but can't carry any) and traverse the base using either the elevators (with proper clearance) or the air ducts. As a Marine you can use a variety of weapons such as shotguns, plasma rifles and flamethrowers along with the exceedingly helpful motion tracker. You're goal is to get a gun, regain security clearances and gain access to the base's self-destruct console before making your getaway in an escape pod. As Marine Private Lance Lewis, you start out in the brig totally defenseless when the aliens attack your base. AvP let's you play as either an alien, predator or marine each with their own story and unique abilities. The game is played as a first person shooter, but the experience is very different depending on which of the three playable characters you select. In stepped Rebellion to develop the most highly anticipated game for what was at the time the most powerful console on the market: the Atari Jaguar. Dark Horse Comics was the first to deliver while an Easter egg in Predator 2 made the crossover all but official, but it was clear this was not nearly enough to satiate the public's desire for a mashup. So it was only natural that when 20th Century Fox added the Predator to a stable of monsters that already included the first two Aliens films people began clamoring to see the two title monsters duke it out directly. Godzilla is still the most commercially successful entry in the Godzilla franchise. Even the two biggest names in monster movies got in on the act and it shouldn't surprise anyone that King Kong vs.

Hollywood and video games have been only too eager throw fuel on the fire ever since 1943's Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman set off a trend of monster movie mashups. F or as long as there have been monster movies, there have been heated debates over which monster is stronger.
