I'll add on to this.
To put it simply, the game has the most advanced physics engine the world has ever seen in a computer game.
Basically everything around you will act / move / react just like it would in real life. If you see a barrel in front of you , you can shoot it with your gun to knock it over. However the barrel might not fall over if the speed of the bullet and point of impact do not create enough force to make it fall over. It really is that advanced. Aiming for the very top of a barrel will cause it to fall over easier, where as if you shot it in the center that would only push the barrel back.
In the game you will be given a gun that will allow you to pick up smaller objects (anything around the size of a barrel). You can then use these ojects to your liking. You can pick up a old rusty saw blade and thrust it into an enemy (which might chop him in half, or take off a limb depending on where it hits) Even so, some enemys might still be alive even after you chop them in half and will crawl after you. You can do almost anything... fire a tang of gas into the wall causing it to explode. Anyone near the explosion will be set aflame and scream in agony. The game gives you unlimited options as to what you can do.
Basically any object in the game is subject to the advanced physics engine. There are objects everywhere, unlike most other games where everything is stuck to the floor. If you see an empty can sitting on the street, you can shoot it around. If a box is hit with a bullet it will shatter intro fragments of wood.

It's over 500mb
It's not just the physics, but the game as well that make it awesome. The world design, ships, AI, and weapons are going to make it a game that we will never forget.
