The reviews say it bridges cinema and games, and plays out like tv series. This may be really cool, or it may be cutscene hell. They also mention the gameplay is clunky.
I played the first hour...It's "learn how to run" *watch 3 minute cutscene*, learn how to shoot *watch cutscene*. Walk through a door *watch cutscene*
Interrogation is awkward. It presents you with 3 options: Lie, Doubt, and Truth. I'm still not sure if that means my character should lie, or I'm accusing him of doing so. The whole game being caught up in this awkward uncanny valley doesn't make it easier.
Gameplay is very clunky. I had a hard time looking at the various clues, and driving was way too lose...merely tapping my joystick sent the car careening off road.
And seriously, who the hell thinks the graphics are better than in Mass Effect? Bioware should actively AVOID this game...the face capture is terrible.
Still, it's not a BAD game, it's just not very good either. That being said, I'm sure it will sell 2 million copies in its first week.
