My Dad bought it. Personally, I hate it.
It feels like a movie more than a video game. If I wanted stunning cut scenes, I would go to the theatre.
When I play it, I don't feel like a gamer. I feel more like I have to keep pushing buttons on the remote to keep the movie playing.
I'm not interested in the back story, or the main character and his annoying conflicts. What I am interested in is the actual game play.
You said it was solid, but quite honestly, the third person shooter style is terrible. The camera angles move around like crazy, and it seems impossible for me to receive any enjoyment out of the game play when I can take 50 bullets to my face and live.
But that's just my opinion.
