Tried the PS3 version of this and "Terrible" pretty much sums up my thoughts.
The controls mimic Gears Of War with the added ability to curve bullets Only unlike gears the cover mechanic dosnet seem natural at all and the enemy A.I seems no existant. The demo only lasts about 5 minutes and you can only play on the "pussy" difficulty level but I played enough to see that this is really bad.
Curving bullets is pretty lame, once you have built up your adrealin meter (which isnt hard at all) you the hold down R1 (and I presume the RB on the 360 version) and you lock on to a target, you then fiddle with the right stick a bit untill the on screen indicator (a line) turns white and let go. Somtimes you kill people this way, somtimes you just make them stumble about a bit, I'm not entirely sure why you dont always kill them but there you go. You ocasionaly get a random animation where the camera follows the bullet as it flys into a guys head, but besides those odd moments the bullet curving is done in such a way that it makes it look like you arent doing anything out of the ordinary, the result seems a bit frustrating really, instead of making you go "wow!!! I curved a bullet!!!" you usualy go "hmmm, how come that guy didnt die then?"
There isnt really anything other to the demo than shooting people and curving bullets into their heads really so theres not much more to say, other than i''m deffinitley not buying this game.

As for the cover, did you play the tutorial section? Where it teaches you about using blind fire to supress the enemy, and then getting a more rapid move between cover ability (it calls it something better than that, but I can't remember what 
) in order to flank and get the upper hand. Nice touch I thought. It's not present in the plane level, but later on when the game opens up it will probably be quite useful. I agree that it would be nice to see what the game throws at you on a harder difficulty, whereby one would like to think cover would be more important.
