Pros:
First of all, the game does look amazing. Even my wife, who was on her laptop commented on how good the opening sequence was.
I played it for 3 hours last night and I've already solved 4 of the 21 cases but I'm assuming that they get harder as you continue.
It is massive at this stage and fully explorable and I think that might be expanded on later in the game as their were several roads under construction.
The facial technology is something else and definitely moves gaming on a bit - it's not always obvious whether people are lying either so it's not too easy.
CONS
I think I may already be bored... though as big as the GTA series it lacks something in comparison. Personally I think it takes itself very seriously and there's a definite lack of humour when you're just driving around and taking in the scenery. Every time a case starts and you have gather evidence I kind of think, here we go again... the evidence section is slow and dull and the musical interludes that are supposed to give you indications of evidence and when you are finished at a crime scene quite irritating. Clever, but irritating.
And that's it so far. I will persevere but my first impression is that it's great looking, very clever, makes great use of technology and is ever so slighty dull.
