One word to describe this game is: FUN The fire fights are butt clinchers on harder difficulties. Finding new gear/loot is as addicting as my runs in Diablo III. The story was so-so but that's not why I bought this game. Can't wait to see what new things Bungie adds on to this game as it goes along. Now excuse me while I go level up my character and try to find some better gear/weapons to get me prepared for whatever new events are thrown our way.
