So much potential that is not lived up to.
Oh boy where you wrong.. This game had a lot of potential and it just did not live up to it. Lets start with the good though. The graphics are pretty good and it kinda gets you into the feel of the world. The music is not bad and the investigations can be fun in the beginning. Well now on to the bad.
Where oh where do I begin. Lets start with the fact that this is a case based game. Its very linear with not a lot of free roaming. You basically go to a scene find clues question someone then move on to the next place until you solve the case. Nothing is really random and even if you get the wrong answers in all the questions you can still solve the case. Yes once in awhile there is something different to do like a car/foot chase or a gun fight but after awhile its just the same thing. It very much reminded me of the first assassin's creed. In the beginning the tasks where fun but after awhile its the same old same old. There is music in the game but you cannot change the radio so you are forced to listen to whatever is being played. Gun fights are pretty easy as are hand to hand fights. The cases after awhile can be boring and the ending is pitiful. Its not really an ending just the game ends. Clues are pretty easy to find so after awhile the game is just walking around. I also have to mention driving. For some reason this game has made driving very difficult. You can be driving with your sirens on and other cars will just drive into your car or just keep driving which logically makes no sense. It makes it near impossible to do case without getting into multiple accidents which lowers your final case score. There is a side thing where you find movie reels and different cars but that is not enough to sustain playing this game.
Overall this is a very pretty game with not a lot to keep you hooked. Its your standard case by case game with no real roaming. They had so much potential in the game but its never reached. I understand that they do not want to do another GTA clone but at least allow some type of free roaming. The game follows a path and you go there no matter what. I cannot reccommend this game unless you are really bored or if you can find the game cheap. Paying full price for this game is just not worth it. Skip it and wait for the price to lower.
