I played a little bit so far, I kind of like it. I found clues, arrested some people, and worked'em over in the interrogation room. It is cool driving around California in the late 40's I got to drive one of my all time favorite cars the 1938 Phantom Corsair the down side is the driving camera views are limited, I would have loved to see an interior view.

The forth photo is actually a Ford. 1939 Ford convertible custom by Harry Westergard in Sacramento, Ca. The car sports a 40's Packard Junior, shortened and Frenched into the Ford front. A signature touch of Westergard's.
The Westergard and Phantom Corsair both reside at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nv. And, I've driven them both.

I am busy with that game and it is great! Apart from the historically correct scenes and cars, the story lines are very good. It definitely feels like you are a detective in the 50's! I suppose....I wasnt born then. Also like the style and atmosphere of the game.
The company that developed the game is from Sydney Australia! I also enjoy the old time sirens for the dodge police sedans.
