Summary
The world’s favourite horror monsters, the Aliens, go head to head with the Predator in the Gold Edition of the first person shoot-em-up, Aliens vs. Predator. Now it’s your turn to decide who gets to win the battle. Prepare for a shock.
This version gives you the opportunity to take on the roles of the Marine, the Alien, and yes, the Predator. Essentially, Alien vs. Predator Gold is in fact, three games in one. Depending on which character you choose to play, you will be given an entirely different scenario to challenge as well as having different opponents. Choose either Alien or Predator and you will battle it out against mankind. Choose the Marine and the situation is reversed. Each of the three playable characters have their own unique attributes, just as they would on the big screen. Aliens can walk on walls, which can be very confusing; Predator has thermal vision and Marines have, well, guns. You can also choose a skirmish option, which is a simple shooting fun-fest with no strings attached. New additions for the Gold Edition include the millennium expansion pack, featuring nine new levels, new weapons, and in-game save capabilities, all of which add to the experience.
The other, and perhaps more appealing side of Aliens vs. Predator Gold is the multiplayer option. Provided you have Internet access, you can join in a multiplayer frenzy against the most adaptive opponents in the world, human beings. There are a lot of options here, making Aliens vs. Predator accessible to a wider audience.
