Brute force lijkt qua graphics en qua genre toch wel een beetje op Halo en Halo is natuurlijk

AvP: Extinction Finally Announced! - [16:28 by Sadogoat]
What's Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction you ask? Why haven't I heard of it before you ask? Well, most of you have - it's Aliens Versus Predator: Natural Selection under a new name (anyone familiar with a certain Half-Life mod should figure out why). After what seems like an eternity, the cat has now been let out of the bag. It will be a real-time strategy game - a first for this particular franchise. Want some more blurb? Here's the official press release sent to us by Fox Interactive:

"FOX INTERACTIVE AND EA TO DELIVER ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR: EXTINCTION FOR NEXT GENERATION CONSOLES

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., February XX, 2003 Out thinking, out maneuvering and over powering the enemy in a race to dominate the planet is what players can look forward to in Aliens versus. Predator: Extinction. The game, based on the blockbuster Aliens and Predator sci-fi film franchises from Twentieth Century Fox, is the first game of its kind for next generation consoles, giving players the ability to play as one of three species: Aliens, Predators or Colonial Marines. Co-published by Fox Interactive and Electronic Arts (EA) for the PlayStation®2 and the Xbox video game system from Microsoft, Aliens versus Predator: Extinction is scheduled to ship in summer 2003.

Fans will appreciate the action and ferocious battles that are true to the movie franchises as they embark on a quest to annihilate their enemies in a fight for survival. The three fiercest species in the universe have been locked in a bloody conflict for years with no end in sight. After a small unit of Colonial Marines, dispatched to planet LV-742, reveals the presence of both Predators and Aliens, it is decided that the conflict must end once and for all with the ultimate goal of total universal supremacy. In numerous missions, players will take to the all-terrain, futuristic battlefields such as mysterious jungles and treacherous caverns in an attempt to root out their enemies. With ten upgradeable combat units per species, players must lead their virtual army to victory in an all-out battle for the planet or face extinction

In this tactical strategy game, players will control the forces of one of the three species, planning their attack strategy, creating their own custom army, and choosing upgrades ranging from vision modes to weapon modifications. Each species offers a unique set of attributes forcing players to master a variety of tactics and play styles in order to be victorious. As Colonial Marines, players will rely on military training and the latest hi-tech weaponry from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation to save the human population of LV-742. The Predators must use their stealth and highly evolved hunting techniques to gain the respect of the council of Ancients. Aliens will attack in hordes to kill their enemies, impregnate them with facehuggers which evolve into the ultimate weapons. A variety of units will be accessible to the player, from basic infantry to specialized warriors like the Alien Carrier able to carry facehuggers in groups, the Predator Hydra or the Marine Sniper.

Aliens versus Predator: Extinction is being developed by Zono, Inc., based in Costa Mesa, Calif., and will be co-published by EA and Fox Interactive. More information can be found on the press site at www.info.ea.com."

Closing Comments
I have to hand it to Microsoft. When we first saw KFC it was total crap. There was nothing enjoyable about the game whatsoever. The half-year delay has truly saved this game from being a total waste of disc space. However, it's still a very flawed game that just doesn't work with four players.
KFC is a tough one to judge for me. I put in a lot of hours in the single-player mode and really, really dug it. But when playing multiplayer, it was never a joy. I've yet to play with anyone who wasn't totally frustrated, annoyed, or bored by the game in a multiplayer match. Everyone I've tricked into player single-player has had fun. But, the multiplayer just isn't good.

As much as I like the single-player modes, the truth is this is a multiplayer game. It's a party game. And as such, it's not so good. If you just want to enjoy this by yourself or possibly with one other friend, I'd say rent it first and test it out then buy it if you like it. But as a party game intended for four buddies at once, it's a big no. So sorry, try again.

Presentation
Inventive environments, fun characters, and perfect '70s Kung Fu spoofery. 8.0
Graphics
Solid effects and some interesting environments, but the game isn't as varied and interesting as it could have been. 6.0
Sound
Good '70s flavor you can easily toss and use your own music if preferred. The sound effects are basic and the voices are limited, just like a real action movie. 7.0
Gameplay
The single-player mode is a lot of fun, but this game is a train wreck when you toss in four players. Hard to see what you are doing or know what is going on. Limited control scheme. 5.0
Lasting Appeal
The selling point of any fighter is a strong multiplayer mode, which KFC lacks. It's the single-player stuff that will occupy your time. Who buys a party game to play alone? 6.0
OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 6.3
