To put it plainly this is a really fun game. The single player is involving, although the easy difficulty setting won't challenge even the first time shooter player, but the story leaves alot to be desired. It stops making much sense early on and just gets far more off-the-wall as you progress to the end of the game. The boss fights are intense and alot of fun, but often times the explosions, falling rocks, and smoke slow the game down so much you'll find a 1000 foot alien on top of you before you can react. My biggest complaint however is the multiplayer... This game would have been the perfect multiplayer game if a little more care was taken. The current modes are fine as they are but the lack of any mode that really encourages team play, a la gears of war, is non existant. Which really surprised me. It just seems unless you have a good group of friends, you'll just be mindlessly firing away with out much method to the bedlam.
Still, I give it a 4 out of 5
