Verdict

Cases become predictable
Driving / shooting / footchases are awful
L.A. is too big and boring outside of cases
Phelps' midinterview mood swings are distracting
Investigations could be deeper
L.A. Noire takes place in 1940's Los Angeles after World War II. You play as a marine turned police officer named Cole Phelps. The story follows Phelps as he rises through the ranks of the L.A. Polic
Success is usually the only option.
Far too many shootouts/chases which are poorly implemented and tedious
Half of the game area goes unused throughout the main story
Little reason to explore it otherwise
Side missions lack variety
Early investigations are very limited
Disconnection between cases leads to jarring moments

Great story; amazing facial motion capture; emphasis on brains rather than brawn; perfectly realised 1940s locales and atmosphere.
May not be actionpacked enough for some; some framerate issues in Xbox version; overheating issues in some PS3 consoles.
So is L.A. Noire worth the price of admission? In short, yes it is - even if you're not a fan of open world games, the astonishing facial motion capture alone is worth paying money to enjoy. MI CASA SU CASA: True to Rockstar form, L.A. Noire's massiv...

Rockstar's interaktiver Episodenfilm L.A. Noire zerreißt mich innerlich. Ich liebe es, wenn die schicke Gesichtsanimation bei den Verhören zum Tragen kommt, um es gleich wieder zu hassen, weil ich nicht viel mehr wirklich selbst tun kann, als vorfertig...
