What I liked most about this game was that it was completely unique from any other game I've played. Being a 1940's detective is a great idea for a game and this one does an excellent job of creating that experience. Most of the stuff you would expect are there (cases, investigations, interrogations, solving crimes) but there are also a variety of action scenes (car chases, shootouts, foot chases) and even some light puzzle elements, although that's definitely not the focus. Really what they want is for you to live the life of Cole Phelps, and by the end of the game you really feel like you know him. From patrolman, to all his various assignments as a detective, (and flashbacks to his time in the war) you get to role play his life. I played the Complete Edition, and my only complaint is that by the end of 26 cases, the interrogations got a little tiresome. Thankfully they advance no matter if you pick the right answers or not, because it's basically a guess almost every time. At the beginning of the game I really stressed about getting answers wrong, but it turns out that's just part of the game... you really don't know what someone will say or how they will react to your lines of questioning, just like in a real investigation. Overall a great game and one I'm really glad I finally gave a chance.
