Huge LA Times article on the game in today's Sunday edition. Never seen them run such a big story on an upcoming video game.
I've copied it below, spoilerized for size.

I just wonder how they are going to balance it...the idea of short explosive fights that happen when you least expect it and are over in a few seconds actually sounds exciting. In a game like this it would seem stupid to clear 4 floors of a building one by one with an endless supply of thugs coming your way.
One of the trailers released recently showed a lot of driving, fighting and shooting....

Because you're a cop in this, I don't think the game will allow you to run around plowing through pedestrians, lassoing ladies, and the other mayhem that is commonplace in other Rockstar games. But I do suspect that you'll be doing more gunplay than a real L.A. detective in this timeframe.

I would rather have the game stock full of hookers, but anytime you're solicited, you just say "No thanks, ma'am, I'm married!". But the game will let you tie them up and leave them on the train tracks!

An even balance would be good, I just hope it's less open world than most RS stuff, gets boring so damn quickly. More story driven would be nice as well.

My interest is piqued on this. I see Amazon has a $10 pre-order credit, but SHCGamer over at CAG hints at a $20 coupon for K-Mart, so I'll be keeping my ear to the ground on what the best deal is.

The bonus case is for both systems isn't it?
I had this pre-ordered at Amazon, but then I just took Dead Space 2 and NBA 2k11 to Gamestop and used those to pay it off.
