Aliens attack and the player must fight their way through the research facility, the derelict ship, and an adjoining colony. When playing as the Colonial Marine, the player begins at a research station on LV-426 built to study the derelict spacecraft where the Nostromo crew first encountered the Alien eggs in the film Alien (1979). Before boarding the ship the player battles two Predators, after which the Alien enters the Earth-bound shuttle. Here the player explores the station and battles more marines, reaching a ship departing for Earth. When the Ferarco's self-destruct system is activated, the player must reach the escape shuttle, which takes them to Gateway Station from Aliens (1986). As an Alien the player must defend the Alien hive from human marines, then stow away on an evacuating spacecraft and reach the marines' ship, the Ferarco. The storylines of the three player characters are independent of one another. To allow the marine and Predator characters to traverse through the areas of the Alien missions, the player is supplied with a jet pack for the marine and a grappling hook for the Predator. Several bonus levels allow each player character access to portions of the missions of the other characters. The Alien can drop from any height without injury and is the fastest of the three player characters. The player can also use a form of echolocation in dark areas and can detect pheromones to discern human or Predator enemies. The screen is distorted into a fisheye lens effect to reflect the Alien's field of view. The Alien has no weapons, however, using its claws, tail, and jaws to attack enemies. The player can use a cloaking device to become invisible and several different modes of vision to detect enemies, including an infrared vision mode and a mode sensitive to electrical systems.Īs an Alien the player can explore most of the game's environments freely, even climbing across walls and ceilings. The Predator is the most durable of the three player characters and can survive falls from greater heights than the human. When playing as the Predator the player uses a variety of weapons from the Predator films such as wrist blades, a throwing disc, and shoulder-mounted energy weapons. The marine wears armor for protection and uses an image intensifier and flares to improve visibility in dark areas.
The single-player campaign presents the player with a conventional series of levels to progress through that are designed around the abilities of each character.Īs the Colonial Marine the player uses a number of weapons to combat Aliens and Predators. Each player character has different objectives, abilities, and weapons.
Like the 1994 Alien vs Predator game for the Atari Jaguar, Aliens Versus Predator offers three separate campaigns, each playable as a separate species: Alien, Predator, or human Colonial Marine.
