Got it today.
Anyone else decided to get it?

Really enjoying it so far, although I can see it being a very depressing experience :s lol

Yeah it is very different. From the "trophies" that have popped up already you can go about things in anyway you please.
the musical score is amazing. Some of the voice acting so far as been a bit b-movie. To be expected in a game though I suppose.

That exactly how some reviews have described it. A choose your own adventure game. With some boundries obvisouly otherwise the story would tangent to much.

Its like a point and click game. There are certain things you may have to do in one area. Example: when playing as the FBI agent, you have to anazlyse the areas you are in and look for clues etc, however, if you find no clues the game wont stop you from progressing, it just makes the later bits harder as you wont have any evidence to go by. Whilst playing as the private detective you have to interview people etc but the things you say can often spark up emotion so you have to think about what you say or you may end up in a fight. These and other Action sequences are played out with flash button moments, so if someone throws a punch (for example) "x" will flash on the screen and if you dont press it in time, the punch lands and that sort of thing.

Its basically a murder mystery film but you have control over the characters.

Final Fantasy XIII is out on Tuesday so that has taken priority for now.

Well average is around 10 hours.
However, the game has 20 ish endings and the last half of the game varies greatly depending on whether you get caharcters bumped off early in the game. Quite a bit of replay value.

There has also been a annoucment of 2 free DLC's. Which take place before and after the game for certain characters. Which will be availble in a few months.

Failing that, buy it from "gamestation" finish it within 10 days then return it for something else. 10 day value return. You cant get the money back, but they will stick Ł40 on a card so you can use it on another game you might like or when something else is released. Tbh thats what i do with most games. I haved played thorugh about 7 games and only really paid for 1.

Chopshop, you must be good at them. Takes me years to complete a game.

I think GAME may have a similar policy. If there's one of them near you.
