I'm playing right now and it's pretty f'ing awesome.
The combat is really fun - a lot of fighting game/fps elements. Fatalities actually give you a good bonus, and you can pull off "chain-kill" bonuses by finishing off multiple enemies quickly.
The only thing I think they should change is reversing how combos are activated. Right now you activate the icon for the combo you want to pull, then follow up with the correct swings/keypresses like playing DDR. That makes no sense, you should start off with swings and then press the combo button at the end to activate it, like in a fighting game. That way it'd be more fluid.. I doubt they'll change it because of all the old geezers who'd whine about it taking too much skill/not enough like an MMO.
Also it runs like crap.
But the combat is far and away the funnest I've played in an MMO yet.
