After watching the movie, it's certainly nothing groundbreaking as the creators would have you believe. Its basically a third-person squad shooter with RTS elements. "Verticality" simply means instead of having a "top down view" you run around behind the squad and......wait for it........Buildings have more then one level to shoot from!! OMG!!!!
Quite frankly it looks like little more then an innovative idea to reform the horrid RTS scene of console, giving the commander a more console friendly interface then the standard top down view.

Appart from it's utterly over-the-top love affair with it's new gimmic, it seems like a pretty beasty game.
