i got it cheap so now i will complain about it yet still finish it.

PROS
- faithful reproduction of 40's LA, film noir presentation
- the most realistic faces yet in a game, great characters and voice acting go with it
- crime scene investigating/cluefinding is hard to beat
- good interrogation branching system
- story keeps you playing, good missions

CONS
- character movement control is abysmal (i know the guy isn't mario, but at least mario can turn around)
- why do they insist on having a seperate trigger to make you run? it's an analog stick, fucking use it. i could be drinking my beer instead of needing 2 hands to move.
- cover system could use a lot of work, mostly because turning around and moving generally sucks
- lame side missions
- chases and shootouts can get boring
- aside from finding cars and points of interest, the city is pretty empty even compared to 2008 GTA
- unreadable map. yeah it's accurate, but you can't even find the tiny white arrow that represents you.
- the game keeps telling me what buttons to press when i'm halfway through the game, stop it
- the cases don't really branch off into different directions but mostly pigeon-holed into solving them one way

pros are enough to keep playing it. it's more of a story-driven cluefinding game but it's no excuse to make the action and exploration second-rate.
