I didn't know what to expect from this game other than everybody saying "Gears meets Call of Duty". So I went into it expecting that.
It feels way more like Gears than COD to me, that's just my opinion. The gameplay is very similar to Gears, even throwing grenades and shooting from cover feels the same, so if you like those games you'll probably like this one too.
The story is pretty interesting, I ended up with a pretty grim ending to my campaign since I didn't really pay much moral attention to any of the choices. It's hard to tell if you're a good guy or bad guy during the campaign, which was kind of refreshing since many games cast you as the hero regardless of how you conduct yourself.
I thought it was pretty fun, and I beat it in a weekend. It was worth the rent.
Graphics are awesome. Sounds are awesome.
Once I got used to working with the squadmates the strategy can get kind of interesting as well. Sometimes I would get stuck on certain spots but switching up tactics seemed to always help get around these situation, rather than having to just grind through and try to get lucky.
Anybody looking for a shooter with a quick-paced campaign to kill a weekend with should find this to be a pretty good pickup.
