Not quite there...
I played the game through once on the easiest difficulty in one sitting. it wouldnt matter if i played it on the hardest difficulty, this game still feels like virtua cop or time crisis. The cover mechanic works surprisingly well, but sitting behind a wall cracking off the odd headshot with whatever weapon you have to hand seems to work as a solid tactic. The small hacking minigames and stealth sections are a nice aspect, but could have been polished a bit more as they feel a bit lacking in substance. If you play this game as a straight out shooter, you might get a bit bored because the shooting does get repetitive (pull LT *crosshair snap to hostile* pull RT twice, rinse and repeat) as most of my game was played out without having to move the crosshairs of my own accord.
To end on a high note, my favourite feature seen implemented is encouraging the medium of video games as a movie, as the interactive fight scenes are obviously designed for you to watch the fight and have little influence as opposed to unloading 500,000 rounds of ammunition into a person's head. It creates depth and pacing in the gameplay and it gives this game a glimmer of hope.
