Aliens vs. Predator has received mixed reviews from critics, and currently holds a 64.25% at GameRankings.[12] Metacritic rates the game at a similar 64%,[13] 66%,[14] and 68%[15] for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC versions respectively. GamingShogun asked how Rebellion could have made such a lackluster title after creating the incredible, first AvP title.[22] Official Xbox Magazine praised the game for its 'Superb atmosphere' and 'Unique multiplayer', but criticized the odd melee system and how the marines could knock back an alien, relieving some of the atmosphere.[21] The most scathing review came from 1UP, who found the multiplayer hard to recommend over the prior game in the series, Aliens vs. Predator 2, describing it as 'ultimately thin and awkward'. GameZone's Dakota Grabowski gave the game a 6/10, saying "If the recent films on the Aliens vs. Predator franchise haven’t been painful enough to sit through, then perhaps video gamers worldwide are ready to stomach Sega and Rebellion’s pitiful offering. Delivering poor results and half-baked ideas, it’s my regret to call Aliens vs. Predator the year’s most disappointing title thus far."[19] In a form of positity, this game did much better than Aliens versus Predator: Extinction and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (video game).
