Impressions
Well, the start menu looks just like some sort of DVD menu. Dexter is fully voiced by the actor who plays him on the show! He even speaks in-game to with is little monologues. Heck, even the tutorial instructions are narrated by a voice actor (but not Dexter's of course, he only needs to voice his character).
The default controls are just like those of your average FPS, with a slight exception: you can turn left and right with the left pad as well as move forward and backward (similar the the Resident Evil 4 game); the right pad allows you to control just the camera, of course. If you go the the options menu, you can change the controls to enable strafing (which would be standard FPS controls) and you can even switch the camera from 3rd to 1st person point-of-view! ZOMG! Difficulty level can also be changed from the options menu. The framerate is good and the graphics are great but not quite as polished as those of Gameloft's Modern Combat: Sandstorm. The music is perfect. Very cinematic yet peaceful enough to allow the tracks to loop without distinguishing where each track begins or ends. At the top of the screen there is a bar titled "journal." Touching this opens up Dexter's mission journal, which contains info on your missions... duh.... There appear to be a total of 5 missions/cases to take on; the first being the case of Mike Donovan and the other 4 are labeled "unknown" and should be unlocked later. Within each folder is an objectives table, containing a list of your most recent objectives for the case; as well as an evidence table telling you how many pieces of evidence you have collected out of the total number that may be collected (the first case appears to have three important pieces of evidence). When you come in contact with an item or object of interest, some context sensitive icons will be revealed on the right, allowing you to interact with the object by examining it or taking it. New objectives may appear once you find certain items. Using items to interact with the environment also utilizes context sensitive controls to complete each task. For example, the first one was picking up a shovel and digging, which required you to quickly tap the left and right corners of the screen in quick succession in order to complete that action. I've only played a small bit of this game so far, but I have a good feeling and high hopes for the rest of this game! I'll post more impressions once I've had more time to play it.

The graphics are stunning (superior to Gangstar, but this game has a polised animated look similar to Wall-E. Sorry for my bad description). You have the ability to roam around. The storyline continues as you interact with the environment. So if you want to explore, you have that option. The audio quality is amazing!!! The "tutorial" is done with the assistance of a voice over. The voice over is crisp and clear. All of the music from the show is used from the game. Seems great so far.

After the first mission this game really starts to open up. You have access to the Miami Police Dept, your apt and other locations that are available from the GPS system. In a sense it does somewhat feel like free roaming, but you just select which area you wish to go to. The more and more I play this, the more I realize just how much effort they've put into this. this feels like a console game...easily psp quality. I'm predicting this will be a killer app.
By the way, there is full profanity in both text and speech...that's something quite new for games on the idevices. Alright, going to play somemore...
