Shockingly Delicious
I'm not a fan of the '40s/'50s era, but I'm a big fan of Rockstars games so I decided to pick this game up.
First off, I didn't think they could make driving any worse than GTA4, but this game takes the cake. Did cars from the 40s have super power steering I wasn't aware of because all the cars in this game have overly sensitive steering. Also I'm not a fan of their detective mode. If a pack of matches can help me in one case, why is it not important in another. It just seems you're force fed these clues and you're not allowed to think outside the box. The first mission when your investigating at night, i found it pretty difficult trying to look for clues when the flashlight wouldn't follow the camera. It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have move around in a circle just to move a bit to a side.
My least favourite part of the game is the questioning sequences. I'm still not quite sure I understand the whole Truth/Doubt/Lie thing, especially when the last thing they say isn't a Truth/Doubt/Lie statement. There's no way to explain why you think certain evidence means they're lying or to combine multiple evidence, you just lose if you weren't thinking what the game wanted you to think, even if it turns out you were right all along.
But with all that said this game does look outstanding. The faces have so much subtle movement we are almost at the point of uncanny valley. The overall gameplay is fun (as with all Rockstar games) and I'll continue playing it until a new game catches my attention, but this not my choice for Game of the Year, it's just a GTA4 set in the 40s where you play a detective that just wants to do missions.
All work and no play, makes Cole a boring guy.
