Chaos ensues as Delta is pulled into the middle of a civil war. Walker and his team must fight their way through the unpredictable war-torn city to find the man at the heart of its madness – Colonel John Konrad.

      I did. It was ok but nothing really spectacular about it.

      I did as well. Gameplay wise, it's definitely a Gears clone, but a bit more...loose. I don't want to say janky, but it's just not quite as responsive or clean as Gears. Storywise it's a different beast altogether. Strong Apocalypse Now/Heart of Darkness vibe with an American colonel who goes native in Dubai and starts offing CIA teams sent in to retrieve him and his squad. They even have a Dennis Hopper type character. The demo really seemed to have cut and pasted disparate parts of the game together to try and give one a sense of the overall game, so it came off a bit choppy, but it has the feel of a sleeper hit in the same vein as a Bulletstorm or Darksiders.
