At the beginning I must state that I love previous games from the series. I love the movies (except for the AVP movie), i like comic books etc. That's why I almost passed out when i saw Primal Hunt for the first time.
One unbelievable thing is clearly visible already in the menu. An expansion pack, made one year after the original game, has graphics so horrible, that AVP2 looks like Crysis when compared. Hell, it's also worse when compared with AVP1! Woman, Predalien and Predator visible in the menu looks like a piece of wood. Textures covering these Quake1-like models are truly horrible - they're so colorful you'd think the Predator is a disco-style parody of himself. But it's nothing, man. Just start the game...
AVP2, in my opinion, is still looking good. Not because of the complexity of models or something like that. It looks good, because it's stylish. Not only the textures and level designs are very atmospheric, but also they have everything in the right place. If you're in the open field, you see some grass, trees, buildings and rocks. They're simple models, but they're modeled in natural-looking way. In Primal Hunt there are some rocks, yes. Also, there are rock with addiction of rocks... They've put rocks here and there, big rocks, small rocks, unnaturally-looking rocks... And covered them with very monotonous textures. In simple words: graphics in Primal Hunt not only are simple. They were also designed by a moron.
And now the clue of the game: monsters. Imagine that you're walking down the monotonous-looking corridor, nothing is ahead of you, but... BAM! Bunch of ten Aliens is spawned 3 meters ahead! BAM! Another bunch behind you! You run, and because they have the same speed as you, the game is starting to look like an ending of an old Benny Hill show. It only lacks the music. Oh man, this isn't the way to show Aliens, this isn't the way to scare! And i haven't mentioned how horribly stupid is the story.
If you like to play a good AVP game - play AVP1 or 2. If you have already finished both and want some more - download additional level made by fans. Some of them are really great! And free. It's hard to believe that Primal Hunt looks worse that fan-made campaigns, but it's even harder to believe that you must pay to play this piece of crap.
