FANTASTIC! Absolutely FANTASTIC!
Scary. Adrenaline spikes. Beyond engaging for the amateurs of the Alien and/or Predator franchisees. Absolutely recommended!

UPDATE: Multiplayer experience frustrating:

Utterly unbalanced (non)playability in multiplayer modes using a marine, especially for not-so-experienced players.
Aliens raining from the sky like in a thunderstorm, invisible predators jumping right on you from the opposite side of the universe, right with a blade on hand, a single 1-attack-kills-a-marine-instantly, no time to even fart for the terror, lead to one and only one conclusion: Marine, online, is unplayable.
You play only for a few SECONDS, until death rains upon you and you never saw from where the heck did it come from, and then the annoying 3-5 seconds of waiting time to "respawn" somewhere else, only to die instantly for another attack of some other alien which tail (1-hit-kills-all tail!) seems longer than the Andromeda Galaxy. Indeed, those RARE times you see it coming, you can see it very far away from you, while you die for basically an omnipotent "act of its will", given how far away that damn tail can hit you from (while in the process you emptied a good chunk of your ridiculously useless pulse rifle on the beast without giving it a scratch).
Basically, you spend 60-80% of your multiplayer NET "playing" time not by actually playing but by waiting those 3 to 5 seconds time to respawn after dying (add to that another 5 seconds to die, yes, because dying is like a short movie with all the perks, again, you watch things but don't get to actively play). In these conditions, even playing hours and days, it isn't even a good way to truly train yourself and become more skilled, given the utterly frequent interruptions.

Not to talk about the crappy 'guns' the Marine is equipped by default. Those useless pulse rifles. You can empty a heck of a lot of bullets on any predator or xenomorph running toward you, and it's still there, ready to laugh on your corpse with a smile as big as its wristblades or tail (whichever applies). Even with the scoped rifle, unless you truly hit the head (yeah, good luck with that, having opponents moving at the speed of light like a Saint Seiya's Gold Knight with his 7th sense fully awakened), you can hit them even 3 or 4 times, and they're still alive and kicking! The shotgun can kill in 1 hit, but only at close distances by pressing the mouse's 2nd button, which eats a lot of bullets. Two of those shots, and you'll have to recharge the shotgun. A truly slow process that leaves you defenseless, especially in an environment where aliens and death rain on you at insane speed from everywhere (I suspect even from some alternate dimensions hidden here and there in AVP's spacetime continuum).

Ah, do we wanna even talk about the flamethrower? AHAHAHAAHAH it takes the duration of an opera concert to kill an ant with that, in the meantime, those alien beasts killed you and even the bacteria in your gut, one at a time and counting them.

I know a man is a man and not a Preddy nor a Xeno, but, since those 2 are insanely advantaged at least cut those damn killing time and "re-spawn" time to zero, to make the experience <u><b>barely </b></u>enjoyable. Even better, balance the thing slightly. I get those are aliens, but, still, a pulse rifle is still a pulse rifle, ya'll supposed to die when shot, not to thrive.

WONDERFUL!
Unfortunately, the online multiplayer server system is weak and tends to lag easily.
After numerous attempts, here are some tips to make online playing smooth. Ideally, BOTH players should apply these tips:

They WILL help.
