"L.A. Noire has some outstanding points. Things like facial animations, superb voice acting, and a fantastic sense of atmosphere help to draw you into its world, but unfortunately that’s where the praise stops and the faults become too hard to overlook. It overstays its welcome, because after the first 4-6 hours you feel you’ve seen everything L.A. Noire has to offer, but unfortunately it will drag itself on for much longer than it needs to. You will need more than just patience to enjoy this game and overlook its many humps. I can only safely recommend this game to those with extra money laying around to just rent it, because with little replay value and so much repetition you may feel ripped off."
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.

Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
L.A. Noire is coming to the library of free games available to GTA+ Members on Thursday, May 2.
how can the guy reporting this story be so dumb? theres a link to the full review just above the summary
after clicking through, just above the summary, see there's a line with a link saying... "click here for the full review"
pretty much deserves the score, one of the most over-rated games this gen
sounds nice
Not a shocking score, even though I love the game, I can understand that there will be people that hate it. Now The Witcher 2 is a different story, anything below an 8 is unforgivable lol :)
