Buy it.  That's all that really needs to be said.  
 
If you are looking at this game thinking "yeah it's an FPS but I don't know if I'd be into this one," trust me, you will be into it.  Those were the exact words I said as it built up to release day and I've had this game for two days and can't get enough of it.  As a matter of fact, as soon as I'm done writing this review I'm going BACK to my 360 and kicking my wife off the TV.  
 
My initial hangups:  lots of missions, graphics not "realistic," and generally getting burned by 2k games in the past.  
 
Revelations: missions are easily controlled-no confusion over which way to go, which mission you are on, etc. 
Do you notice the lack of realistic scenery?  Not at all.  You are too busy blowing stuff up and trying not to die to care about whether you can find individual grains of sand in the terrain.  I honestly think this game could have looked like Portal and been awesome!
Did I get burned by 2k this time around?  So far, no.  However the level 50 cap does kinda suck.  But DLC could fix that and from what I hear, there is already DLC in the works, so good job 2K!  Now go fix your hockey games!
