I rented it and didn't find it all that great. I would recommend renting it, and even that's marginal.
I found the gameplay to be repetitive. You're fighting the same type of guys for pretty much the entire game. I also thought the plot was cheesy and uninteresting. I don't know if this is new, but they do this thing where you have to pick up heat droplets to stay alive and rejuvenate lost health. I found that kind of annoying.
On the plus side, there is a major boss at the end of every level. I haven't played a game like that in a long time, so it was kinda nice. Plus, I actually found some of them challenging. The vehicles section is probably the best part of this game. You get to pilot a bunch of mechs like this one.
And you can always choose to fight the bosses with them.
I didn't try online play because, quite frankly, I didn't care to, despite being a big multiplayer guy. So maybe that makes up for some of its failings.
