5.5

I'm very disappointed to see a franchise with so much potential failing on delivering. Well, at least we have the old Aliens vs Predator games.

Sega didn't send that version. And that, my friend, is often a bad sign. Not always. But often.

PC has to score higher because the graphics are 10x better. Not saying the gameplay will be any better, but atleast a 6.0 IF all of the flaws mentioned, and other problems exist in the PC version.

I haven't read the review yet, but I haven't been this dissapointed in years. I can't believe what's happened to my 2 favourite franchises. Screw you Rebellion and Fox! There is all of these great gaming companies going bust and Rebellion is still here. What a shame.

It's quite hella awesome... I even say so in the review! But imagine you are eating oatmeal for an hour, plain, no sugar or anything. Then, you get to have a bite of chocolate. The chocolate is awesome, but the oatmeal is still just oatmeal. So many shooters are nice, five-course meals with a nice flow. You know, an appetizer, maybe a salad and soup, a main course, dessert and coffee, maybe a nice glass of port at the end. This one is oatmeal, with occasional bites of chocolate.

I'm hungry.

Saw this one coming.

To make it like most other threads about games Kevin's reviewed: Kevin sucks/hasn't got a clue/should be fired/has no credibility, etc, etc :P

Ouch. Well, based on just the demo I think a 5.5 is just right.

It's coming to Steam, so it should be an easy grab for me. Don't worry, I'll get a review of that version up this week.

I cancelled my pre-order after Game Informer gave it a 5.75. (I was getting the collector's edition with the toy facehugger.) The screenshots looked great, but my first impression of the demo was "I don't ever want to play this." Glad I saved $100. This is exactly why reviews that come out prior to a game's launch are important.

As for the controls issues, I played both the console and PC version. PC version controls seem better then console controls especially when controlling the Alien, but the stickiness still occurs in the PC version, but seems more manageable.

after the demo, cant say I am totally surprised. I had such high hopes for this game. Now the only time I will pick it up is if I see it in a bargain bin somewhere, not too long after release so the online is not completely dead

They gave Too Human 5.5.. underrated... Halo Wars is a solid 8, not a 6.5.. but it's his opinion, and everyone has different tastes.

And one of those reviewers is gone now. :| And neither of those are totally outrageous scores, unless you think both of those games were 10s. AvP can't be that much better than Kevin-V claims.

I can't comment on Too Human, because that game didn't look good to me at all. You got me on Halo Wars, but Gamespot UK reviewed that -- and yeah, that's no reason to completely dismiss this review. The review makes good points, so long as their accurate ... :P
