[Alien/aliens] Why are the aliens so different in 1 and 2?

So the first film the alien is an smart predator hiding in the shadows and picking people off one by one. But in the second film there are scenes where the marines just mow loads of them down because they decide to just charge them instead or by running into turrets. Surely if its the same species they would act similar to each other?

I always assumed that the alien in Alien was stealthy and sneaky because it was on its own and when they have the numbers they happily swarm enemies with no regard for loss of life. Maybe when they are alone they are instinctively subtle and just hunt to eat and clear the area of potential threats before hibernating, and they only become super aggressive because of a queen commanding them.
