What's so pleasing about playing all three campaigns back to back is not how distinctive they are – though with the survival horror aspect of the Marine, the stealth of the Predator and the strange hybrid that's offered by the Alien they're certainly all feel completely different from one another – but how well each individual species has been handled, and any concerns we had of the game's quality are washed away by a burst of pulse rifle fire, a stealth kill or clinging to the ceiling.
And this is but a small part of the package – Rebellion is bringing a full suite of multiplayer modes to the party too. We've outlined a handful of these briefly in the past, but expect more information in the New Year, and in the meantime get prepared for one of 2010's most exciting new games.
