For me, so far:

Good:
I sat there at the start of the game for about a minute before I realised that it was waiting for me to move. I thought it was pre-rendered. Haha, crikey.

The water is the best I've seen by a long shot. It's really done very well.

The sound is amazing, too. Really got some amazing foleys and scores in this. Some of the splicer script is rather nicely done.

So so: Whilst the rest of the art isn't up to the great standard as the already mentioned points, it's not terrible. Some parts to lack polish. Most of GoW looked better to me, though.

I've got a terribly nagging feeling that this is going to be something along the lines of SS2 or Deus Ex, but with a new visual skin applied. There also seems to be a load of styling taken from Fallout. That's fine by me, but it's not done nearly half as well.

Bad: I'm getting a smidge of mouse lag, too. It's the same whether I have the settings on full or turn them right down.

Ugly: All the hype around the Securom and the EULA and all of that really puts me off playing this game, tbh. I probably would have thought twice about buying it if I'd have known previously. Especially installing ghey securom with the Steam install, too. This kind of End-User alienation really pumps my pants.
