I rate the game for what it is. It is not a sandbox game, it doesn't have an engaging storyline and there's almost zero npc interaction. What it is, is three difficult and unforgiving fps campaigns (predator, alien and marine) set in the aliens (2nd film) universe and saturated by an atmosphere of dread and fear so immersive and realistic to make James Cameron proud, and populated by aliens true to both canon and HR Giger's vision. Each campaign is well balanced and represents its respective protagonist accurately, and strategies and survival methods are vastly different for each. You have to complete the marine campaign on at least realistic, if for nothing else but bragging rights. It is balls-to-the-wall frantic action. The alien is physically your superior and the developers have not compromised here, pitting you against your worst nightmare: hissing, screeching creatures with claws, teeth, slashing tail and acid blood that are are very fast and agile, crawl on ceilings, walls and in ducts, jump long distances and from great heights, and see in the dark. And you will crap yourself when you see an alien smashing lights, plunging the area into darkness. They are numerous and never completely eliminated. They're not difficult to kill, providing you can shoot them first. Listen carefully to the instructions private! Figure out the correct routes; no markers, arrows or waypoints here. Complete your objectives and survive. Good luck; you'll need it.
