alien vs predator old game 1999 download free Alien vs predator old game 1999 download free. There is always this one thing you can be sure of no matter what, with Capcom: whatever this game you just put on is all about, if it was made by Capcom, you are going to have fun. And in the case of his little gem it is no different. It doesn’t really matter whether you are a fan of 20th Century Fox’s Alien or Predator franchise and neither does it matter whether you do condone the Alien vs. Predator crossover or not, for there is just something so satisfying and cool on grabbing a xenomorph under its neck and slapping it like a little wh*re, that you’re going to like it anyway. Although released in 1999, somewhat already past the glory days of arcades, Alien vs. Predator is a surprisingly entertaining and fun to play brawler. But what’s even more interesting about this game, though, is that it—wait for it—tells an actual story, not altogether different from the storylines of later AVP games for PCs and consoles. As usual, Weyland-Yutani and the military wants to weaponize xenomorphs and brings them to Earth. But some things just won’t go as planned and the hell breaks loose when the transported specimens break the containment and infest the largest city on the 22nd century American West Coast. There, two US Colonial Marines, major Shaefer and lieutenant Kurosawa, making their last stand in the infested city streets team up with two Predators, a warior and a hunter, and engage on a mission to put an end to the mayhem that WY and the military brought on them. Up to three players can play simultaneously, each choosing one of the four aforementioned characters. These have all different stats, depending on their agility, firepower, experience and strength. The players control their characters an eight-way joystick and three action buttons: one for long-ranged attack, one for melee, and the remaining one for jumping, with the exception of Sarge, whose jump button triggers a charged attack instead, as he can’t jump at all. These three basic actions, along with joystick movements, can then be combined into simple combos, offering a colorful variety of moves. And moves, moves are what is so entertaining on this game. Slashing, cutting and smashing, green xenomorph blood everywhere, and—oh, pulse rifles! God damn it and smartguns! And flamethrowers! Predator throwing discs. Please, do yourselves a favor, click that ‘DOWNLOAD’ button above, and play the sh*t out of this gold, because you sure as hell won’t regret it… It’s TIME TO HUNT! Aliens versus Predator 2 Download (2000 Arcade action Game) In Aliens Versus Predator 2, you play three overlapping scenarios as a Colonial Marine, the Predator, and the ultimate horrific killing monstrosity from Alien. Although the scenarios are separate, you visit the same locations and see much of the same environments in each, seeing the other characters from unique perspectives. It's a nice piece of continuity that adds up to immersive and exciting gameplay. The Marine's storyline is the most complete of the three, but all campaigns are very satisfying, and the cinematic aspect makes you feel like an actor in a big budget movie. As in a film, the intense atmosphere provides a series of startling events designed to make you jump out of your seat. For example, playing as the Marine, your team members become quickly separated in true horror style, and the sounds and images leave you feeling totally alone and vulnerable. While the other campaigns are similar in intensity, the natural affinity is for the human character rather than a beast with two mouths and acid for blood. The overlapping storylines play very differently. The Marine relies on guns, goggles, special tech equipment, and a hacking device to get through doors. Without the strength of the Predator or the armor of an Alien, hit and run tactics and stealth are key ingredients to survival. As the Predator, you can use its cloaking device to hide and set up some serious in-your-face close quarter combat with the Marines and Aliens. The Alien campaign is truly unique and innovative in that you use both stealth and hand-to-hand fighting as you progress from a face hugger to a chest-burster to a full-grown drone, with the type of alien dictated by whose face you hug! The Predator seems to have the best of it, though, since unlike the other two characters, it has the full run of the floors, walls and ceilings. It's a bit tricky to handle at first, though the main objectives for each campaign are fairly clear and easy to follow. The AI seems fairly typical for a shooter, with no one really taking cover or backing each other up. Instead, enemies come right at you, guns, claws or spear guns blazing. Although there are instances when your opponent will run away and look for help if pinned down or injured, for the most part it's just run and gun mentality. Beyond the standard AI, a few other issues detract from this otherwise solid title. At times you get "stuck," requiring the occasional reload, which can be annoying due to the long load times for the cinema-like events. Another problem is that each time the game loads a new area, you begin with your weakest weapon in hand, guaranteed to catch you off guard at times. Generally these situations don't begin with immediate attacks, but it can be disconcerting if you forget to change weapons. Although the game is geared toward the three single-player scenarios, six multiplayer modes offer additional gameplay. Death Match, Team Death Match, and Hunt are fairly self-explanatory. Survivor is simply the last man standing scenario, Overrun features two races vying for supremacy through total annihilation, and Evacuation centers on one character trying to reach an extraction point prior to being killed. In multiplayer action, races have unique weaknesses and strengths as well as a number of variants from which to choose that slightly change gameplay. Examples include the super-agile, yet weak, Runner Alien, the powerful Assault Predator and a bunch of Marine specialists such as the demolitions expert and sniper. Although play can become redundant over the long term, game life can be extended through this media. Despite the minor flaws, Aliens Versus Predator 2 is a solid shooter, certain to entertain any gamer looking for immersive gameplay, interesting characters and fluid action. Graphics: The dark and dank environments are of movie-like quality with appropriate scary atmospheres. Sound: Some sound effects seem to be taken directly from the movies, such as the Marines' pulse rifles, Alien clicks and the Predator's roar. The music enhances gameplay by adding tension and making the experience seem more "alive." Voice acting is fairly good. Ambient noise is quite stunning, especially clicks and claws of creatures coming for you across walls, floors and ceilings. Enjoyment: Being able to play as all three entities with different styles and perspectives makes the game exciting and keeps it from getting stale. Replay Value: Playing as three different races, and with the Alien's game changing depending on who you hug, replay value is extremely high. Multiplayer options add even more game life. Aliens Versus Predator – Gold Edition. Ridley Scott’s 1979 movie Alien has left a legacy not only for film but for videogames too. As far back as the Commodore 64, gamers have had their chance to fight the inhuman killing machines for themselves. Rebellion’s excellent 1999 title Aliens Vs Predator not only gives the player the chance to be a fierce Colonial Marine, but also the camouflage wearing alien huntsman known as Predator. Skilled players can even take control of the Aliens themselves and scuttle after the hapless Marines or fight the fearsome Predators. Aliens Vs Predator is a superbly playable title that has aged surprisingly well and can still keep modern PC players on the edge of their seats. Installation. Aliens Vs Predator – Gold Edition will install without any issues on modern PCs, simply install it from CD as usual. If the CD-ROM does not start installing automatically when you insert it, browse to the CD in Computer/This PC and run the “AvP_Setup_Launcher.exe” program manually. The game should ship with two CD’s, the second is a music CD, don’t forget to put this into your CD drive before you play if you want to listen to the music. Patching. Before attempting to play the game on a modern PC, it’s vital that you install the latest patch.
