I would actually have to agree with most of reciprocity's post.
Not very upsetted by it so far though.
I do like the "Street Crimes" however, I think they provide a nice break from the interrogation/ crime scene stuff. I wouldn't say its as frequent as you suggest however. I've done 3 Street Crimes after a ton of cases (my guess is around 10) and they all seemed pretty varied. Only in one did I actually pull my gun.
Yes, the characters may facial reactions are fairly over exaggerated, and the Interrogation system with only 3 choices is fairly simplistic, however I feel that if it were the other way around the game would be far too difficult.

I for one am quite happy with the game so far. I'm going to take my time with it (though I do agree the city feels quite dead outside of the locations of interest), and I can't wait to unfold this story. I'm also quite happy that there is a game that penalizes stupidity.

i think you're over-rating just how 'difficult' and 'careful' the game is... tbh.

The main character? An asshole? Alpha Protocol did it.

So far so good.  I love the atmosphere... and they obviously did their research for 1940's LA. 

The gameplay itself is really innovative but seems a little too formulaic.  And the main character is a boring asshole.. as someone said already.

I love Mad Men so I'm pretty much forced to love the main character. If I didn't enjoy the show I'd probably agree though - I can definitely see how he can come off bland.

Just wait till the end of the homicide desk. It's actually a really great twist with some puzzles that take you to some landmarks around the city. It's fun.

As for street crimes, I'm gonna with Stimey... sure, a lot of them are just "kill these guys", but it's a nice break. And the gunplay is pretty decent, surprisingly.

This. This isn't GTA. You really need to follow the rules, be VERY careful with your decisions and think intelligently in order to get 4 stars or above on a case.

I don't think it's the best game ever by any means, but I love the setting, I love the new technology and I find it generally fun. Thumbs up from me with about 15 hours played so far.

I agree on the landmark hunting bit pretty interesting. I was disappointed at first thinking all the cases are shitty and little but it gets better.

I really hope for a sequel in the 1960's during the Civil Rights era. I think the cases you could find would be a lot more varied and interesting. Not that solving the Black Dahlia murder wasn't interesting enough.

You may not karma the same person in a 24 hour period.

well from what I've seen of mad men, its also boring and full of assholes.  this explains a lot I guess.

Is there a place where i can select a car to drive? 

How do I switch weapons?

The fuck?

Also, how many more alcoholic blonde women in their 40's are going to be murdered with a tire iron?  I've counted 4 so far.  (btw, I ended up arresting the father and letting the pedo walk free, accidentally.  oops)
