This actually has the life cycle of the Xenomorph(also as an on/off feature for MP). The new stuff brought in, for all of them, improves(the same goes for most of the things where this differs from the first), makes them better, more engaging, to control. if you have any skills as far as FPS' go, you should be able to complete this on the easiest, and if you try for the hardest, you will find this intense. Not just in that there are nearly no bugs or glitches(and I've yet to see any biggies), but it runs so well, the game-play(which is awesome and enjoyable almost without exception), everything. One thing that has got to get a mention is how incredibly smooth this is. They're complex(and not the only thing that that applies to, either), well-told, intriguing and true to character all the way. The story lines intersect, and more than once, at that. just about every single foe you fight behaves the way it should(I will choose this for where I interject that the wall-walking has been *vastly* improved, and now, little if any "sticking" takes place, regardless of who does the moving). The AI is absolutely great, and rather accurate. Now not a single of the sides seem weak or slow as such when you're controlling them, they simply do better in different situations(meanwhile, both when by yourself and against or with others, this allows for them). the odds have shifted, and it's much more fair and even. but they're almost invariably well-done, and a joy for the different ones(not always as much for every one of them) to run around and wage the continuing interspecies war in. There are perhaps not all that many levels(it should be noted that there weren't for the one preceding it, either) for it. about two thirds of them are more or less the same(two teams versus each other, fragging). It could need some more modes for it, however. you can spend hours battling it out with others, and the optional class systems really help make things interesting.

That doesn't by a long shot mean that this isn't fun beyond the main portion. Unlike the first one, this doesn't offer bots for multi-player. movements look natural and realistic, and the detail in them is impressive, allowing for subtle facial expression and the like(it's really no wonder they used it so much, with nothing being done in full animation or live action). The cut-scenes are all within the engine, but they are well-done, with quite good cinematography and editing(and scripting). without it being a crutch, either(obviously the sections in them(mostly) aren't found here). It's hard to find something in the movies not featured in this. The single-player portions aren't equally long, they seem to get shorter, starting with the human and going past the more technologically advanced outer space being. It has atmosphere to spare, and it is built up masterfully. either to do by themselves, or to Wiki it).

There isn't really any re-playability, admittedly, except for putting all the pieces of the overall story together(these are found throughout each of the three campaigns, and are at no point herein summarized or put together, this is left up to the individual. This offers an authentic merge of the two series, not to mention a pretty darn entertaining experience. This isn't terribly long, but the previous one wasn't, either(and at least this doesn't attempt to hide this fact through the difficulty). Where the first merely sought to recreate the various locations, creatures and weapons of the six cinematic entries into the universes, this not only does that(and adding basically everything that the first didn't get, as far as the last of those go, and also equipment), but goes beyond, and includes several new designs.
