If your a fan of the comics or first two FPS made by Rebellion or Monolith, this game should have a place on your shelf.
The Graphics where well done and quite an upgrade from the original games, I really enjoyed seeing it in HD on my TV.
The game play was very well done and new, it gave you more of a feel of what the fictional characters are capable of.
No this isn't Call of Duty or Halo. It probably doesn't compare to them in quality. But if people can take a look past those games and not compare AVP to them and look at them from a fans perspective then I feel that people can really enjoy it. I love the original games and I love this game. I purchased the Hunter Edition for $99.99 and it was worth every penny. A lot of people who are not familiar with AVP or even the games may or may not like it I can't really say. But I know speaking as a fan, you will love it. And honestly, I don't see how games like the Left4Dead series could get such good ratings when the only thing they are good for is their multiplayer. That's not what makes a game. AVP has a great story, great gameplay and pretty fun multiplayer.
