The three
fiercest species in the universe have been locked in a bloody,
galaxy-spanning battle for years. After a small unit of
Colonial Marines dispatched to planet LV-742 reveals the
presence of both Predators and Aliens, it is decided that
the conflict must end, and there is only one clear path
to total universal supremacy: war!
You must defeat your enemies to ensure the survival of your
species... or face extinction. Based on the worldwide blockbuster
film franchises, this is the first in the award-winning
Aliens vs. Predator video game franchise created specifically
for next-generation consoles.
A real-time
strategy game, you can create and control your forces as
one of three species, across twenty-one single player missions,
with ten upgradeable combat units per-species. Decide your
attack strategy; order your own custom army from a list
of units, choosing upgrades that range from enemy detecting
vision modes to devastating weapon enhancements.
Each species
offers unique attributes. As the Colonial Marines, you will
count on your military training and the latest hi-tech weaponry
from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation to save the human population
of LV-742. The Predators must use their stealth and highly
evolved hunting techniques to gain the respect of the council
of Ancients. Aliens will attack in hordes to incapacitate
their enemies; impregnating them and using them to evolve
into the ultimate biological weapons.
Players
have access to a variety of units - from low-end grunts
to ultra-specialized warriors - like the Alien Carrier (able
to bring terrifying facehuggers to the battlefront), the
extremely brutal and heavily armored Military Predators,
or the hydraulically-powered Colonial Marine Exosuit. Every
unit can be upgraded to gain new abilities and to become
even more deadly. Players' pulses will pound as they roam
the eerie, multi-environment planet featuring tropical jungles,
caverns, desert settlements and high-tech laboratories placed
across twenty-one different maps.
