Well, it looks like nobody else has played it yet, so I'll be the first to say that, so far at least, the game is AWESOME! It does, in fact, run on the Aurora engine, and is also DX10 native (though it is co-native with DX9, so you non-Vista folk need not worry). The cinematics are every bit on par with or better than Blizzard cinematics, which is quiet a feat as Blizz is WELL known for their cinematic quality.
The combat system is fresh and interesting, allowing for melee combos and magic and fighting styles that allow you to change tactics based on the fight you are in. The in-game graphics (under DX10) are amazing, with some of the best shadows and samples of the "God Rays" that I've seen to date. The storyline is deep and rich, with plenty of cut-scenes to keep your knowledge of the story in tact.
I've not played much of it yet, but I can truly say that so far it's very impressive!
