Like the game itself, the graphics on Alien vs. Predator are just a bit short of perfection. The station is painted in gorgeous textures that offer a wide spectrum of color and details. A transparent heads-up display shows game status and the map, and its brightness can be turned up, down, or off as desired. Movement and scaling is smooth and well paced, but turning with the Marine looks a little choppy. Characters and items are also well drawn and easily identifiable, though a few frames of animation are missing in some places, which disappoints.
Sounds fare better.
The only music in the game is an ominous tune during the title sequence, while the various background noises of the station play during the game. When an encounter occurs, screams, howls, weapon fire and explosions fill the air with frightening effect. Then there are miscellaneous sound effects, such as hissing airlocks, winching doors, and the Predator's vision filters. Voices and samples are clear, with most coming straight from the movies, and the overall effect adds to the game's haunting mood. While it's not a nonstop killing spree that can be learned in three minutes, there's enough action and adventure here to appeal to a wide variety of players.
