Alien vs. Predator 2 was one of the "sequel" the most successful in recent years. He received critical acclaim and was a commercial success, and then took it to an inevitable expansion, entitled Primal Hunt. Developed by Third Law Interactive (author also of Kiss: Psycho Circus), Primal Hunt offers 9 new missions, new weapons, new multiplayer maps and more. Although not as spectacular as AvP2, Primal Hunt gives new action, and generates the same amount of adrenaline.
500 years before the events in AvP2, a group of Predator discovers a powerful relic on the planet LV-1201 (coincidentally the same planet where there was the most events of AvP2). In an attempt to reactivate a stasis field damaged by an attack of Alien, a Predator comes face-to-face (not metaphorical but real) with a face-hugger. 500 years later the greater Dunya of the Guild of Mercenaries Iron Bear awakens both the Alien Predator.
There are 3 new missions for each species, and if you play in a predefined order we take the human campaign. Assume the role of Major Dunya, the typical mercenary with a heart of gold. With the objective of recovering the relic, you must make your way into the ground to complete the mission. While AvP 2 triggers panic among the first providers packed levels sounds terrifying but completely devoid of enemies, the action in Primal Hunt is immediately busy. If one side so sacrifices to climb to reach the top tension, the other immediate action keeps the player on their toes, replacing the panic to the tension of the original game. Human missions are well designed, and also include moments of pure pleasure, as the carnage of Alien that you can do at a certain point in the game, with a machine gun fixed.
The new weapons humans are not bad: there is a double gun, effective and amazing with a high rate of fire. But the real novelty is the automatic machine gun, which can be left on the ground ready to shoot anyone who comes within its range of action. Does a great damage (and who played for AvP2 will know, because they've found a lot of playing against the campaigns of all three species), but it is also very fragile and you can find and use only at the end of the campaign.
The missions of the Predator has an interesting storyline, but also very confusing, as you move between missions and the other without a full explanation of what is happening. In any case, as Predator, your task will be to find and protect the relic. You will have a new weapon available, a kind of gun power. It's really devastating against the Alien, but it takes a lot of energy in order to reveal useful in every situation.
Missions with the Alien put us in the shoes of a new subspecies, the "Predalien". This frightening combination of an Alien with a Predator (already in AvP2 but can only be used in multiplayer games) has a result that is similar to an Alien "standard", but it gives a feeling of greater strength. The missions of this campaign are undoubtedly the least interesting. Not to mention that a plot of low thickness adds a difficulty in the use of a species undoubtedly different.
To this we add two new enemies. The first is a bipedal creature covered with thorns that has the ability to blend in with the surrounding environment. It's hard to kill, but the AI ??is weak and the camouflage is easy to discover. The second enemy is a creature similar to a worm, which carries a dental arch from fear and appears to be under the surface of the ground mordendoci.
The graphics engine is the same as AvP 2, with a few interface improvements and more colorful and better managed. Of all the levels in which you play, the only area has neat new: the enormous ruins Predator, in which we find ourselves to make the most of the missions. Note, however, amazing how each area is "dedicated" to a specific breed, who finds himself in a position of absolute advantage over the others.
The sound is crucial in creating tension and atmosphere in Primal Hunt is a mix of positive and negative factors. If the sound effects are perfect, creating shivers of panic at any time, the other the lack of music leaves a little 'empty, accompanying the player like in the original game in times of stress or excitement increased.
The side Multiplayer is still the same as AvP 2, plus four new maps and a weapon for the exclusive use of multiplayer games for the Predator. And the weapon is one that many have dreamed of: the "super-bomb": once activated will start a countdown that will give an abnormal nearby: you lose a life, but if there were other enemies in the vicinity, points earned will be very many.
Also missing in this case bot, and it is a real shame. There is still a dream to repeat the matches of the first AvP, for example, where necessary to defend an outpost from a mass attack of Alien managed by the CPU.
Primal Hunt expansion is a good, action-packed, hustle and speed. Adds more fun to Aliens vs. Predator and is a good "sop" for those who hope more and more third installment of the series. The downsides are not lacking: it is too short and adds very little to be expanded. The hardcore fans of AvP campaigns will end in a few hours, and new players will stand before more than a dozen hours. Definitely recommended expansion to a super-discounted price, while fans of the game is a purchase that you can do it right away.
