Based on the arcade game, Alien vs. Predator is a fun, though run-of-the-mill side-scroller from Activision. Taking the role of the Predators, you must destroy Aliens that are inhabiting Earth as you hunt them down through city sewers, streets, and buildings that contain the deadly creatures and their queens. Both the Aliens and the Predators are well-animated and easily useridentifiable, and the music and sound effects are suitably creepy (if not overly-repetitive). Boss levels could use a dose of adrenaline, while a two-player mode and the ability to play as the Alien would have boosted replay value. Like the Predators in the game, Alien vs. Predator blends into the genre's background when it should be leading the pack.

Two Space Marines and two Predators go after hordes of H.R. Giger's most fearsome creations! Each character has special projectile weapons in addition to the standard super moves.

Alien vs. Predator is a First Person Shooter version of the AvP series.
*** NOTE: scoreboard disabled ***

One of the most popular Jaguar games and was exclusive to the system when it was released. Alien vs. Predator, or AVP, was set to be released at as a launch title for the Jaguar, but it was unfortunately delayed for a year. This first person shooter, in which you may choose to play as a Space Marine, Alien, or Predator, was probably responsible for selling a number of Jag consoles by itself.

The Date: 2593 A.D.
The Planet: Alpha Centauri 3, 8.6 Light-years from Earth.
Background: Originally settled by human colonists for the purpose of mining the rich ore deposits and shipping them back to the resource-depleted Earth.
Recent Events: A predator drone ship placed alien eggs onto the planet, which hatched and produced a fine crop of alien prey. The human population was eradicated in the process. A predator hunting party then arrived to hunt the aliens, but the number of aliens was underestimated and all the predators were, in turn, wiped out.
Theory: An alien queen is present, which would explain the larger-than-anticipated population of aliens.
Mission: It is now up to you, the last of your clan, to regain the predators' honor. And your own.

You control the Predator, who must proceed through a warehouse-like area to eventually find and defeat the Alien queen. Each level is laid out like a maze with a series of platforms and ladders. The Predator must find a key located somewhere in the level and use it to pass the exit door for the level (presented as a thick black block). A map is drawn at the top of the screen and is filled in as the player explores the level to aid in navigation. The Predator has an energy meter that starts at 50 and gradually decreases over time. Once the meter has emptied, the Predator's map will slowly be completely cleared. Some levels feature an energy power-up that will refill the energy meter.

Predator: Soon The Hunt Will Begin is an 2D action game. There are 30 stages in the game, and each one is split up into two modes: Jungle Mode, and Big Mode.

In Jungle Mode, the object of the game is to survive the dangers of the jungle while you shoot down guerillas and wildlife using variety of weapons including machine guns, laser rays, and grenades (all with unlimited ammo). You exit the stage by entering a cave to proceed to the next level. Sometimes there is more than one cave, and you will be warped to another stage other than the next one, depending on what cave you enter.

After three or so stages, you enter the game's Big Mode. The object here is to blast blue and purple spheres before they have a chance to hurt you. Some spheres have power-ups that will increase your firepower. When you have made some distance, you have to defeat the Predator before you can continue on to the next stage. Big Mode is the same throughout the game, but the only difference here is the Predator's attack pattern.

Predator 2 is a platform shooter game where you play the role of Lieutenant Michael P. Harrigan as you investigate the strange murders in the city of Los Angeles. Adding to the difficulty is the ongoing war between Colombian and Jamaican gangs, not to mention reports of some peculiar creature hanging around the area...

You star as Lieutenant Mike Harrington an LA Cop caught up in the city's worst nightmare! An alien species (Predator) has come to town and he's got some carnage to reign. It's up to YOU to stop him!

The game is a shooter style game ala Terminator 2 in the arcades. Movement is controlled by mouse or keyboard. There are weapon powerups to be had and innocent civilians to be saved.

Jerky scrolling, a high difficulty level, boring gameplay and poor sound. The poorest version of a reasonable game. Yawn!
