I wasn't alone with my Aliens vs Predator demo disappointment. Rebellion got the message loud and clear, unfortunately, they just don't see eye-to-eye with their fans.
Jason Kingsley, CEO and co-founder of Rebellion, says the motivation was to familiarise players with the controls... "We chose Deathmatch as the mode for the demo as it's very familiar to all FPS gamers and minimizes restrictions on players while they are getting to grips with the controls of each of the three playable species". Call me crazy, but I'd say there are more important aspects to 'sell' your customer on a game than controls. Story? Perhaps. Fun? Definitely.
If you purchased the game via the American Steam store, your copy will have just unlocked. For the rest of us, we'll have to wait until Saturday morning. OXM has reviewed the game, giving it an 8/10. PC Zone gave it a similar 82%, saying the game delivers "deliciously gory, unwaveringly confident and spectacular fun", adding that it's a "brilliantly authentic and cinematic experience".
