They definitely get more of a chance to fuck shit up, and after waiting through the whole Alien series and listening to characters ominously saying "what if these things got to Earth?" it's fucking awesome to see the chaos and carnage that just an initial handful of Xenos can cause.
Fuck yes! I was hoping they didn't fuck around with the whole 'Aliens on Earth' premise.

Unfortunately, they are still cannon fodder to the Predator and he blows through them pretty quickly. But I did like how they made this Predator more powerful and skilled, since in the first AvP the Predators - the greatest hunters in the galaxy - got their alien asses kicked like they were playground pussies.
I'll agree with the Predator failing fairly hard at being . . . well, a Predator in the first film. But for some reason I've always had a softer spot for the Alien, so it kind of irks me to see them go down so easily. But, the Predator is quite a formidable opponent, so I can understand why they're able to tear the shit out of Aliens so easily.

Another problem is that in many scenes the Aliens were pushed aside to make way for the new Predalien (in one shot this is literally true); but it is cool to see the new design for this creature, and of course he gets some of the best kills in the movie as well.
Predator = Win.
Alien = Epic Win.
Predator + Alien = "Captain, unfathomable amounts of win are detected in this sector."

Give it a try, like I say, it's not bad; but stick with Aliens for a true classic.
Well, I'll be downloading this film for free using iillegitimate sources, so I won't be complaining too much. But as for sticking with 'Aliens' for a true classic, this is almost always the case. =)
