Rent it first
A bit of a mistake...
Game play was pretty tough for me and while I'm not the best gamer in the world, I was getting frustrated at the first level. I'm too stubborn to go on the easy setting and normal was pretty tough. I've tried both button mashing tactics and more conservative tactics but have yet to find a good strategy. Graphics are okay at best but nothing too spectacular for being on a next-gen console. I haven't gotten too far into the storyline since I haven't played much of the game but it's palatable from what I recall.
So, I would recommend to whomever is interested in this game to visit your local rental store and try it out from there. I don't think it's worth the money to buy unless you find it in the bargain bin.
