Los Angeles, 1947.
Amid the post-war boom of Hollywood's Golden Age, Cole Phelps is an LAPD detective thrown headfirst into a city drowning in its own success. Corruption is rampant, the drug trade is exploding, and murder rates are at an all-time high. In his fight to climb the ranks and do what's right, Phelps must unravel the truth behind a string of arson attacks, racketeering conspiracies and brutal murders, battling the L.A. underworld and even members of his own department to uncover a secret that could shake the city to its rotten core.
Using groundbreaking new animation technology that captures every nuance of an actor's facial performance in astonishing detail, L.A. Noire is a violent crime thriller that blends breathtaking action with true detective work to deliver an unprecedented interactive experience.

L.A. Noire review

By wearehere349 posted 28th November 2012

This is a pretty awesome game, lots of action and ivestigating. A really cool twist on the GTA style game, being a detective is a really fun and unique experience that you don't see in many action games. I would recommend getting the DLC pack with it, it adds alot to the game. The graphics are good, very realistic. The gameplay is very immersive and fun. The storyline is incredible, with lots of plot-twists and suspense.

I really do enjoy this game. Reminds me of GTA, with a CSI twist. If you enjoy series or games such as CSI and like to pocking around (GTA), then this game is for you.

L.A. Noire review

This game is very fun and exciting. Keeps me on the edge of my seat wanting to see more and know whats next. One downfall to it is that it is very difficult to play the game without a walkthrough guide. As it is a detective type of game, you have to question witnesses and interrogate suspects and then decide whether they are telling the truth or lying, or doubt them. You're apparently supposed to judge the correct option based on their facial expression and gestures. Unless you're a mind reader of pixel characters, I don't see how this is possible. You need a little cheat guide to tell you what the correct options are. Good luck figuring it out otherwise.

L.A. Noire review

The first thing which struck me when I started playing this game was the beautifully recreated 1940s Los Angeles atmosphere. It makes it feel like you actually are living in that time. Tiny details such as letters, telegrams and cars are all authentic and recreated perfectly.

What made this game so much fun for me is that it is different. It has a similarity to GTA IV but rather than simply mucking about like a criminal, you are put in the policeman's shoes. You have to investigate homicides, abandoned cars and other street crimes which take place while you are driving. It is something unlike any other game I have played before. I found the puzzle solving enjoyable with an awesome story and believable characters. What makes the characters even better is the realistic facial expressions. You can see tiny details such as eyebrow movement, different emotions etc. and on top of this, the facial expressions actually play a role in helping you to identify whether a witness is lying or not.

Although the game is really fun, there are a few problems. A lot of the missions turn out to have the same basic formula. Although the story is different it always starts with you investigating a crime, finding witnesses and interviewing them and then chasing down the suspect. Despite the repetitiveness, Is still really enjoyed the game.

If you're looking for something different to your normal first-person shooters and open world games you should seriously consider this game.

The gameplay is a bit disapointing, similar to the True Crime serie.

Basically, you do what the game wants you to do. If the game says "this is a fist fight", it won't let you bring a gun; if the game says "you have to kill this guy", it won't let you arrest him even if you managed to sneak around. Even in pursuit, you have two kinds of pursuits (tackle the guy, or warning shoot with your gun) but you don't get to choose the more appropriate for your situation. The game scripts make the choice for you.

Appart from that, great graphics, awesome story line.
