I liked it well enough, but never finished it, got maybe 3/4 of the way through on each campaign and then quit. I'm not sure why, I think something else came out that grabbed my attention, and the human campaign became boring pretty fast. You're right, it felt like Doom 3, or any other generic space shooter released in the last 7 years. It didn't quite capture the tenseness and "oh shit was that a facehugger shit shit shit!" the first one had. Maybe just because I've grown so used to "get pistol, get shotgun, use flaslight in dark, something jumps out at you" game design since the original came out.
My favorite was the alien, the same as it was in the old Aliens vs Predator. Their play style is so different from what you usually get, climbing on walls and ceilings, only close range attacks, hiding in the shadows waiting to jump down on someone and bite their head off. I had great fun crawling in and out of vents, jumping from wall to wall, luring enemies to a location only to run around the entire room and jump out behind them. The predator was fun too, even if he felt a bit overpowered and played pretty similar to the marine but with a cloaking device. But yeah, thinking back the only moments I can really remember from that game was when I was playing as the alien. I might have to go back and finish their campaign.
I never played multiplayer, so I can't comment on that.
