Rockstar are on the ball as always, a lengthy campaign of 25-30 hours, that doesn't even include a number of side missions to be found PLUS DLC missions from the get go.

GOTY contender?

I was kinda hoping for a longer campaign to be honest. I haven't heard anything about free play options which lead me to worry that the campaign is the only feature of the game. If thats the case 25-30 hours wont seem enough for my inner detective. Maybe I could play the game once as Carter from the Sweeney and once as Dickson Hill :P

Im slightly certain there is no free roam, least not too the standard off GTA. They seem to be jizzing their pants at the new facial software their using, apparently you need to pay attention to faces too see who's telling the truth or not.

I'd definitly jizz myself if it was an open ended 1940s L.A. doubt it'll happen though.

Wonder if Agent has a freeroam, know literally nothing about that game.

I think it's certainly a lot more procedural than previous RAGE games, but I think the ability to roam the map is still there - there's just less flexibility in the order of missions and / or a choice of where to go next - at least outside of a mission.

Won't be as good as Portal, so no, not GOTY. Looks decent though.

Well if its like FT says, that you can still roam but you need to do missions in a certain order, that wont be so bad, but if its like Mafia 2 where unless you don't finish a mission or start a mission but not do the first thing on it, you don't have a choice in what to do, I'll be a little annoyed.

I'm hoping for some system like True Crime did, random petty crimes, muggers, assaults, thefts, stuff like that I'd be happy with in a free roam option
