--Planet AvP | Aliens vs. Predator Extinction | Game Reviews

GamePro's Review - August 08, 2003 by Pong Sifu "Though hard-core RTS heads may lament the game's lack of depth as compared to PC fare, fans of both film series will go ballistic when they see how well the developers have realized the behaviors and abilities of each species and successfully woven them into the gameplay fabric. Verily, it's worth the coin!" Rating: Graphics: 3.5/5 Sound: 4.0/5 Control: 4.0/5 Fun Factor: 4.0/5 GameSpot's Review - August 05, 2003 by Brad Shoemaker "As it is, you won't have much reason to play the game after you finish it unless you just want to try a harder difficulty. Overall, Extinction does a pretty good job of translating Aliens Versus Predator to an RTS, but the game has a lot of untapped potential." Rating: 7.2/10 GameDomain.co.uk's Review - August 04, 2003 by GamesDomain.co.uk Staff Advertisement "If Extinction was ported to PC and given a complete overhaul -- a brand new AI system and expertly designed levels -- it could make one hell of a game. After all, the premise is rock solid, only the execution killed this one. Maybe Aliens vs. Predator fans will get some mild enjoyment out of it, but once you remove the license, there is little worth noting." Rating: 60% BritBox.co.uk's Review - August 02, 2003 by Britbox.co.uk Staff "A real-time strategy game, you can create and control your forces as one of 3 species across 21 single player missions with 10 upgradeable combat units per species. Decide your attack strategy; order up your own custom army from a list of units, choose your upgrades from enemy detecting vision modes to devastating weapon enhancements." Rating: 9.0/10 PS2.IGN's Review - July 30, 2003 by Jeremy Dunham "For fans of the Alien and Predator franchises, there could be enough appeal via presentation and curiosity-factor to warrant a likely weekend rental or perhaps even a hesitant purchase. As it stands right now, though, enthusiasts may do themselves an even better service by running out to their local store and picking up the FPS "Gold" versions of Aliens vs. Predator 1 or 2 for the Windows format. Two games combined that equal the singular price of Extinction, they're infinitely more entertaining and better capture the essence of the AvP mythos."
