I spent 6 and a half hours on all three campaigns combined on the Playstation 3 in this mindless forgotten game that sits at a whopping 65 on Metacritic. Better than Saints Row.
Marine Campaign
Ever seen an alien flail around on the roof and walls while you watch and wonder what a fuck is going on? well, don't worry, this game got you covered.
You spend about 3 hours fighting braindead aliens and one predator until you end up shooting Wayland himself in the head in a western stand-off. The aim is not the best with the PS3 controller, but the aliens have a tendency to line up right in front of you so it's fine.
It's a weak shooter that at times can be fun if you got ammo in your shotgun or smart rifle. Those two guns got some serious punch.
The Alien Campaign
The alien campaign is a staggering one-and-a-half-hour.
Play as an alien that gets instructions from your hive queen, like "disable the generator to the signal tower". The queen seems to have a bachelor's in engineering. Engage the humans who tell each other "don't relax yet marines" 4 times a minute. Harvest humans by laying them flat and inserting facehuggers from your apparently alien backpack unto their faces.
It's fun to crawl on the roof and figure out a plan to engage the humans, but the A.I. is so clunky and the navigation is so janky that it plays like an acid trip.
The Predator Campaign
Cloak and bash your way with your 4-punch combo. Jump around CONSTANTLY to navigate the same environments you spent playing as a marine and alien. Use your plasma cannon that eats ammo like a black hole and infiltrate an old predator temple and take on the final area, where I spent 30 minutes wrecking aliens until I figured out you are supposed to JUMP up on some ledge and activate some fucking stone thing.
The melee of the aliens and predators is similar to rolling around on your lawn as a kid, as you can't see what a fuck is going on as you flail your alien arms around and hit whatever the fuck is in your way.
And yes, you can block attacks. Nothing like countering an alien as a human by keeping your guard up and smacking them with the butt of your rifle.

The games before it had things that were more memorable, this one was just... adequate.
