  • Abstract:  PlayStation 3L.A Noire is, at the very least, a kind of game that has never been seen before. Taking you back to glamorous 1940's Los Angeles, the player steps into the gumshoes of Detective Cole Phelps, a World War Two veteran, as he rises through the...

  • Abstract:  After the sprawling heights that Rockstar’s unexpected success Red Dead Redemption soared to in 2010, one would think that it would be next-to-impossible for them to bring us something as eagerly-epic the following year in 2011. Indeed, many video game...

  • Abstract:  Tweet Story has been a big factor in recent Rockstar games however it takes especial precedence in L.A. Noire. As explained in the “gameplay” section of this review, although the player will find himself in an expensive replica of 1940s Los Angeles, t...

  • Abstract:  L.A. Noire is the type of game that begs to be played more than once. Much like any good mystery, Rockstar's newest blockbuster offers enough hidden clues and foreshadowing to warrant multiple playthroughs. After being thoroughly impressed by the Xbo...

  • It is still a great game with a well-conceived and well-told story, and it is well deserving of being in anybody’s library. L.A. Noire and Heavy Rain set a successful groundwork for what I hope will become a popular new genre of mystery/thriller/invest...

  • All in all, L.A. Noire harbors a few major flaws, but its bold new approach and (mostly) carefully woven story driven by an (at first) likable hero come together to create an overall highly solid and entertaining package. Many of its shortcomings I att...

  • Abstract:  L.A. Noire took me by surprise. Not following much of its lead up to release, I was expecting something similar to, well, pretty much everything that Rockstar’s published in the last ten years. Instead, LA Noire turned out to be somewhere between a rev...

  • Abstract:  L.A. Noire is a different kind of game. Not just because it was published by Rockstar Games, who are well known for their open world action titles, but rather due to the game’s unique nature of both presentation and gameplay mechanics. Set in a fully r...

  • Compelling story lifted up by great acting and realistic graphics. Great soundtrack and voice work.
  • Chapter breaks broke up the flow. Cop-out ending. Some bugs.
  • Blurring the line of CG movie and video game, L.A. Noire takes us through the 1940s crime scene to discover the evidence and motives of some of Los Angeles' most horrible criminals. Buy it now...

  • Abstract:  As the company responsible for such globally domineering game franchises as Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, you might think that Rockstar Games was due for a dud. But you'd be wrong.Instead, with the help of some serious game developing mojo ...
