-| Ratings |-
Gamespot gave the game a 9/10 making it another Rockstar game to get high scores. IGN gave the game a 8.5 which is still a good score. I liked the reviews that L.A. Noire had and am not the type gamer who buys games on what the reviewing websites have to say, but we still have to read to see if other people enjoyed the game or not.
-| Story |-
Is the 1940's and you play as Cole Phelps (main character) an LAPD officer and ex marine who won the silver star and was giving the glory of being a true war hero, but you get the feeling that Cole feels he is not worth it of having that honor. You start of in the Traffic Desk and you work your self to the top of the LAPD by solving crimes. Am not going to spoiled anything about the story, so i will be keeping this part of the review short.
-| Gameplay |-
Is an open world game created by Rockstar and you are expecting to do what ever you want in the beautiful recreated city of Lon Angeles, but that is not the case in this game. You get to drive to the crime locations and do certain street crimes and that is about everything you can do in this "Open World' that rockstar calls it.
Desk: You have four desk to complete in the game and those are Traffic, Homicide, Vice and Arson. Each desk is composed of multiple cases that at the end have a bigger story than you tough it was.
Cases: Each crime is different every time, you find clues at the scene of the crime and almost every location that you visit during a case, that lead into questioning to find out who committed the crime. The most of important factor of the game is the new motion capture technology that Rockstar used in this game, you have to look very careful to the persons face that you are interrogating, because you have to be able to tell if the person is lying or telling the truth. Also if you miss any clues in a location or get any questions wrong during an interrogation the case changes and can have an alternative ending.
Street Crimes: A total of 40 street crimes are needed for the 100% completion of the game. Each desk has a total of 10 and sometimes the crimes can get a bit repetitive.
Ranks: XP is earned by discovering new landmarks, solving crimes, correctly branch questions during an interrogation. The top rank is 20 and as you move up the ranks new outfits are unlocked and something called intuition points are awarded, that can be used during interrogations to eliminate a wrong option.
-| Graphics |-
The city and its people look amazing in this game, if you look at the comparisons of the actual actors and the video game you will be amazed at the result. I don't really have much to say about how great the game looks and to me this is one of the best looking games you can find.
-| Multiplayer and DLC |-
This is going to be one of the down for me since the game does not have multiplayer, but the DLC kind of makes up for it. Rockstar is releasing new cases to be solved in the game for the price of 9.99 for all of the DLC to come in the future.
-| Voice and Music |-
The voice acting is fantastic in the game, when a person is mad or sad you can feel the words that they are saying. That's how good the voice acting is and you can recognize some familiar actors in the game as well. The music is classic from the 1940's style and it just gives the game a bit of excitement just cruising the streets of Los Angeles with the Radio music playing.
-| Overall |-
Overall the game is great and if i had to give it a score i say a 9/10 just for the fact that it had a good story and the gameplay was fun. Is not a perfect game, because well when people buy games this generation they expect the game to have multiplayer. Overall i had alot of fun playing the game, music was great, graphics are amazing, and the game is simply fantastic.
Members of the original development team behind Rockstar Games' LA Noire are working on a new psychological thriller called Sowden House.
Hopefully McNamara is as far away from this as possible he set up shop in Australia then did nothing but complain about Australian labour laws while trying to make his workers live at the office working 24/7 on la noire punishing them for leaving at 3 am and being 10 minutes late to work at 9am the next day.
It's astonishing that none of the workers went to the fair work ombudsman as the studio would have been fined astronomical numbers
Brendan McNamara is a brilliant writer and director but he should never, ever be in charge of a studio. What he did to those devs was far beyond "crunch", and it went on for, what, 7 years? That's insane.
But I'm glad to see some of that team have come together again to create something new. A psychological thriller sounds right up my alley.
BLG writes, "Do you ever get that feeling after you’ve finished a game that you just wish there was more? Or do you spend years hoping and praying for a sequel that never comes?
This list compiles some of the top games we desperately want to get a sequel. Please give us more of our favorite games!"
Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."
How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.
Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems
Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥
I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either
great review!
