Background: In this tactical simulator you must face vicious aliens and the ultimate hunter, known as the Predator.  You must escape the Colonial Marine Training Base alive and set off the self destruct mechanism. You must find the shotgun, pulse rifle, flame thrower, and the ultimate Smart Gun, but strategy is your ultimate weapon.What makes this game so special is that you can also be the Predator who hunts down the aliens and marines, or the alien who must save the Alien Queen. 

Game Play: This game is unmatched in its unique mix of strategy and action.  As the marine, there is a total of 5 sublevels that you must traverse in the base before you destroy it and get out in the escape pod.  Along the way, you must discover weapons and security key cards to get access to certain areas and levels.  The air ducts are ruthless and pose a serious risk of aliens.  This game is immersive with excellent sound effects and no music to take away from the experience.  You will literally jump out of your seat as an alien comes slashing down the hallway towards you.  This game does not have the constant action of Doom, but adds so much in strategy and detail that it more than makes up for it.As the Predator, you live for the hunt and your ultimate trophy is the Alien Queen’s skull.  At first you start out with only your wrist blade, but gain superior weapons as you kill prey.If you choose to be the alien you must rescue the Alien Queen who is being held captive on the Predator’s Ship.  You can generate new alien lives in hosts bodies.  The alien is quick and has its venomous tail, claw, and teeth as weapons.No matter who you choose to be this game is excellent.  One drawback that must be mentioned, before you rush out and buy this game, is the save game feature.  As a marine, it only saves the your score, security card level, weapon types, ammo, and energy.  That means that all the random aliens you have just killed will regenerate next time you load up the game!  So be sure to save the game in an elevator where aliens can’t quickly strike at you.  Pros: strategy, immersive game, sound effects, action, multiple game scenarios
Cons: poor game save feature
