1. 5 minutes in, you are left on the street, and it's on, no timer on cases at least for the first 5 cases, so ya. freeroam

2. no free killing, can not draw weapon or brawl on the street, AI does a very good job at dodging your car, when you do run ppl over, message comes on saying negative actions will be recorded and reported or something like that, haven't noticed any consequences yet.

3. motion scan is amazing, accusing ppl of lying is extremely fun, picking the wrong accusation (truth doubt lie)causes suspects to turn down further questioning, thus losing the lead in the case, the perfectionists would be restarting the case over and over again to get it right. you rank up based on completion

4. gameplay is standard rockstar, ajustable auto aim, gta driving, crime scene investigation is very intuitive, once object of interest is picked up by pressing x, use L stick turn it around to examine it, once a clue is discovered on the object (like a marking or a serial number) camera automatically zooms in and cues clue/notebook entry message.
