Though most of the cases become pointless once you realize you were convicting the wrong people, I was still really enjoying the game. Then came the Arson desk. First of all, why would the evil "Housing Cartel" expose Phelps for infidelity only to assign him to the Arson desk? If they were afraid of Phelps getting too close to their schemes of manipulating the Housing Redevelopment Fund for their own personal gain, wouldn't they assign him to a desk that didn't relate to housing? I mean what the fuck? Why didn't they just bump him back down to the traffic desk or patrol duty. From the Aron desk to the ending, the story just seemed to take a nose-dive of sorts and I just kept wondering where the game was going in terms of the plot.
I didn't mind switching from Cole to Jack Kelso until I came to the end of the came and I was still playing as Jack. It just didn't make any sense to play the remainder of the game including the final mission as a character you have no real attachment to.
Overall, I'd have to give this game a 6/10. The only thing that saves it is the great voice acting and the music. Everything else ranges from average to pure fuckery.
For the people that finished the game, do you hate the outcome of the game as much as I do? Or do you think I'm off-base with my assessment of the story? If you think the story was good, how so?
