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.
