While the above may certainly be true, having a game with two different
sides, one of them being superior in everything, wouldn't be much fun. 
If
sides aren't "fair" in some fashion, the game will suck.

It's something of a dramatic device in movies, creating creatures that
don't
suffer from the same weaknesses humans do to illustrate those
weaknesses,
then exalt in the strength of the human spirit in overcoming those
weaknesses and triumph over the "superior" forces.

These are movies, after all, made for humans.

As far as Aliens are concerned - compare the body count total between
the
Marines and the Aliens, and see who was harder to hit in a fight (not a
lot
of Aliens low-crawling....)
