My brother was really looking forward to getting it. Guess it was a good thing he never got around to buying it.

I'm still working through it but yeah. I can't get to grips with multiplayer, but singleplayer is okay in my opinion. Maybe because it involves xenos, and me shooting xenos.

Can you give me a quick rundown of why everyone says it's bad?

From what I can tell, most people's gripe is graphics. But I'm not hooked on graphics, I was a Nintendo fanboy for many years...
The gameplay is less the Aliens: Left 4 Dead we'd been promised and more a very uninspired and glitchy Aliens: CoD, personally I think the hit detection is awful, the voices are bad, and it's just generally so underwhelming.
Oh and when a xeno runs at you on 2 legs it looks like it wants a hug. Why. But yeah... this video does a fair job of summing up issues without being at all serious.
