Well, I'm really the wrong person to ask since very few games are worth the price tag IMO. I download everything except the real good stuff like gran turismo, GTA and games to play online.
But it really depends on your situation. If you have enough cash to buy a game every week its very much worth it since its one of the better new games. If you don't have lots of cash to spend then I'd say wait for the september releases cause that's one sick month for gamers.
If you buy it though you will be having fun till the end of the game (which I estimate between 12 and 15 hours but it is fun to just pop it in sometimes and shoot some mosters, good stress releave)). You'll constantly be shooting hords of enemies while leaping arround with sometimes an objective like pull 3 switches or destroy a spawn point. Its not a frustrating game as far as difficulty goes since you have a regenerating shield so if the action gets to much you'll just have to retreat and let your shield get back up but mostly you'll be right in the middle of the action. The levels are very liniar too so you won't get lost. I can't really compare it to any other fps because of the setting and combination of monsters and super powers but I like it alot.
If you like fps and monsters and have cash to spend you can hardly go wrong here.
