quantum field theory - Is gravity a tensor?

All other fundamental forces are mediated by vector bosons. The Higgs boson is a scalar boson & the interaction it mediates isn't called as a force. A force is a vector in the usual description. But the hypothesized graviton is a tensor boson. Would that mean gravity is not a usual force but may be a generalization of the concept of force into a tensor? (Einstein field equation relates Einstein tensor & stress-energy tensor & therefore sort of relates curvature & energy. And gravity is curvature).
