Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction

About

Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction is a real-time strategy game developed by Zono Inc. and released in 2003 for Xbox and PlayStation 2. Set on the planet LV-742, the game places three factions — Colonial Marines, Predators, and Aliens — in conflict across a series of missions spanning jungles, caverns, space colonies, and futuristic battlefields. Players command whichever faction they choose, managing ten distinct unit types that can be upgraded as the campaign progresses. Each species develops along its own lines: Predators unlock additional vision modes, Aliens use facehuggers to convert enemies, and Colonial Marines gain new weapon enhancements. The unit roster spans basic infantry through specialized forces and large troop transports, drawing structural comparisons to games like StarCraft. The three factions are mechanically distinct, requiring different tactical approaches to resource management and combat across the campaign.
