The graphics are gorgeous and the gameplay looks to be pretty cool. The way the HUD works sort of unique adds to the tension. I'm not sure I like the whole 'cut off the limbs' idea though, it's sort of gimmicky to me, but I can probably live with it.
However the camera is wonky; it feels like you are watching through a telephoto lens from about 30 feet behind. It feels very unnatural. Also the mouse aiming is terrible. You have to disable vsync to get it to be playable at all. Even then it is still hard to manage. When you press "AIM" (rmb) the mouse suddenly slows down. It is nearly impossible to move it fast enough. This is very bad in close quarter fighting since the game requires you to cut off the limbs of the baddies attacking you. I hope the camera and mouse are addressed in a patch.
One other problem: the game did not at all recognize my Logitech wireless rumblepad II.

Extremely clumsy controls + saving checkpoints = a mixture that ruins any gaming fun. At last for me.
