Past those neat touches, the graphics are very run of the mill, and a little sub-par. It's a very, very generic shooter from my playtime in the demo. I didn't play too much, though, because the game was absolutely dead online when I tried it. The wait time was impossible for any game type other than deathmatch or team deathmatch. And when these actually started, it was usually with the minimum of 4 players.
Players aren't bullet sponges, which is nice, but it also leads to lots of deaths that result from the bland player models blending into the equally bland environments. This is not intentional.
I love the idea behind games like this and Breach, of taking what a lot of people love about higher cost shooters and making it available cheaply, but the quality has to be there to back up the neat concept.
