Alien vs Predator is a truly first game in AvP video game series that started a lot of later games and spin-offs like AvP series for PCs or maybe even movies. The story is quite simple and resembles these from Alien movie series, humans wanted to use Aliens as a biological weapon but Aliens broke free from their prison and started to make a rampage of a big city on the Western Coast. You can control one of the four characters in single player (both predators and two cyborgs) while there can be maximum to 3 human players on screen. This is a classic beat'em up game, very well received by fans and press.
Alien vs. Predator (エイリアンVSプレデター) is a beat 'em up video game developed and released by Capcom for the CPS-2 arcade game system in 1994. In the game, the players take control of up to three human and Predator characters in a battle against the Alien hordes and rogue human soldiers. The game was very well received by the public and by media publications, becoming a classic title for many fans of the beat 'em up genre, but was never ported to any home system.
Alien vs. Predator uses a control setup with an eight-directional joystick and three buttons: one to attack, one to jump, and one to shoot. The default cabinet for the game allows as many as three players to play simultaneously, although some smaller cabinets only accommodate two players. Four characters are available for the players' use: two cyborg soldiers, Dutch Schaefer and Linn Kurosawa; and two Predators, a Hunter and a Warrior.
Three of the four characters are equipped with a melee weapon: a katana for Linn, a bladed staff for the Hunter, and an extendable-retractable spear/staff for the Warrior. Dutch has no such weapon, but can hit enemies with his cybernetic arm; in addition, he can hold and swing any melee weapon dropped by another character, instead of throwing it as the other playable characters do.
Each character is also equipped with a projectile weapon for ranged attacks. Linn uses a rapid-firing handgun, Dutch has a smart gun in his cybernetic arm, and the Predators both use shoulder-mounted energy weapons. Ammunition is represented by a meter near the bottom of the screen; when the meter is depleted, the character is unable to fire until it refills. Linn's ammunition refills fastest and allows the most shots, but she is completely defenseless while she reloads. Dutch and the Predators can move and fight while waiting for their ammunition to refill, and unlike Linn's pistol, their meters will gradually refill when not firing.
Assorted weapons such as grenade launchers and flamethrowers can be found or taken from fallen enemies, but these have a limited ammunition supply. The player can also find jewels for bonus points, or food and medicine to restore lost health.
San Drad, California, has been overrun by the Aliens, and the cybernetically-enhanced Major Dutch Schaefer and Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa of the United States Colonial Marine Corps have been abandoned by their superiors and are cornered by a swarm of the Alien drones. Before they can be killed, a pair of the Predators appear and destroy the Aliens. The Predators offer an alliance with the two humans in order to stop the Alien infestation.
The players take control of up to three of four characters: Dutch, Linn, a Predator hunter, and a Predator warrior, and battle the Aliens through several environments. In the process, the characters discover that the Alien presence on Earth is the result of an experiment headed by a renegade General Bush working for the Weyland-Yutani corporation. They destroy the Alien hive by crashing a military ship into San Drad, causing a huge explosion. The Predator warrior then gives his wrist blades to Dutch and Linn in recognition of their skills as warriors, before the Predators depart back into space.
Predator Hunter is imho the best character to pick up for beginners - it's a balanced character in terms of agility, stamina, speed and power, able to perform various combos in air during a jump and grab enemies. Like Warrior and Linn, Hunter uses a melee weapon by default and being hit means he loses it's Naginata - great melee weapon with the best range that deals a lot of damage to enemies. Like Warrior it's secondary weapon is a plasma gun that is great for crowd control when there are a lot of enemies around you, but be careful because it overheats after 2 quick shots.
