It’s made/written by the same team so it’s got a great story but it’s a 3rd person cover based shooter with destructible enemies. So if you blow off a robots leg they will still hop around trying to kill you. Blow off there head and they’ll go berserk attacking team mates.
Its major gimmick is using voice commands to interact with your squad mates to try and give you a sense of camaraderie and trust. The more you talk to your team the higher there trust which in turn will cause them to help you if you ever need it. Taking risks they normally wouldn’t to protect you. Higher trust levels will also affect the games ending.
You don’t need a headset as responses can be chosen by button press but it was a neat little experiment by team Ryu Ga Gotoku to try and make you interact with characters in a new way.
Not to mention in the Japanese version the cast of Yakuza : Dead Souls are playable in multiplayer (if you have the 360 version you can download them from the Japanase Xbox store (for free!) and they work.)
Not to mention it’s $4.37 on PC right now. That is a great price!
Edit: The game has returned to $24 on GMG. Hope you grabbed it when you had the chance!
