Amid the post-war boom of Hollywood's Golden Age, Cole Phelps, an LAPD detective is 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. Search for clues, chase down suspects and interrogate witnesses as you struggle to find the truth in a city where everyone has something to hide.

LA noire is a unique game, as it blends detective work and gunfights and chase scenes into one. As Cole Phelps, you must slowly solve many different crime scenes using realistic detective actions and puzzles. When you start of a case, you drive to the crime scene with your partner, (who helps you along the way solving the mysteries and integrating suspects.) You take a look around, finding all the evidence before moving to the next location, which could be a suspect's house or apartment. Once you get there, you look around for any evidence that could be hiding in their house, then after that, you must ask the suspect some questions. This is one of the good parts, as you will have to identify if the suspect is lying, telling the truth or if you should doubt them. You have to really pay attention to their expressions, (this is where I usually get fooled.) Or none of this could happen and you will have to chase the suspect (chase scenes are the best in this) either in vehicles or by foot, also chases can lead into a fist fight. On top of the impressive story line, there is side missions. They can either be gunfights, chases.etc An interesting fact for this game is that the face expressions and movements for integrations were filmed on camera from actual people and put in the game, and every detail from an eye twitch to a smirk can be seen, giving it a cinematic kind of feeling.

I picked up LA Noire from my local flea market for about 17 bucks not really knowing what to expect. However what I got was game a game that feels like if Grand Theft Auto met CSI. The basic storyline of the game is that you are LAPD cop Cole Phelps who, in 1940's Los Angeles, starts solving more and more complex murder cases through crime scene investigation and interrogation techniques. As you solve more cases you get promoted to a higher level of management within the department. The graphics within the game are fantastic, however when looking at clues in partial sunlight you can see some pixelation, and maybe some weird render errors here and there, but overall the graphics are wonderful. The gameplay is great too, however it does get a little stale after 8 or 9 cases but it still is fun and provides great entertainment value. The sound in game is wonderful and the voice acting is the greatest I've ever seen in a video game. Plus you have the authentic 1940's music to boot. The lasting appeal of LA Noire I gave a lower score than the rest because I bet once you beat the game once or twice and you start memorizing the answers to the cases it most likely would get stale. Overall, LA Noire is a must have for your gaming library and I strongly recommend you go pick it up at your local game store.

After going back and forth about getting this game for quite a while I finally bit the bullet and picked it up. While this game has fantastic graphics that is all I found to be outstanding about it. The characters, while all well done seem to come right out of the movie L.A. Confidential and so do so many of the stories you will play through. Truth be told I hated the main character and wanted to smack him. Something about him is as annoying as nails on a blackboard. The game is 3 disks but it does not take you long to get through it and unless you are as dumb as a bag of hammers you know what is going to happen and who did it without having to really work the cases that much. The game is ok and I know there are those out there that will love it but I found it to be a letdown after all the hype that been associated with it.

If you are someone that would want to play as a detective in the 1940s, this is the game for you! This game is based on true crimes in Los Angeles, CA. You play as a very clever detective named Cole Phelps. This is a very great game!

LA Noire was straight up one of the best games I've ever played. I've never rated a game before, but after I beat the game, I knew I had to let more people know how awesome it was. The only part of it worth playing though is the story (free roaming isn't really any good) but its a long game and it'll keep you playing for a while. Some people love it, others don't, but there's no other game like LA Noire.

I was skeptical when I picked this game up. But I started to play it and I immediately was hooked. The graphics are stunning, the gameplay is great, and the story is well told. I like the fact that, for once, you play the "good guy" of the game. The realism of the LA depicted in the game is very accurate. The play area is huge. I liked the effect that face capture had on the cut scenes. It made it feel like a movie. Buy it, it's great!

I was not the mystery type of person. But that totally changed after I played L.A. Noire. Every mystery is a challenge and the conclusion of the mystery is a suprise. The biggest challenge for me was trying to do the interviews with the suspects. The people in the game look so life-like and the graphics are amazing. This game's gameplay caught me by suprise and totally got me hooked from start to end. I would tell everyone to try this game. Totally worth the money.

While other games try and bring you into the future, as we see all to common today, it is nice to see some other games other than the Assassin's Creed franchise making hits in the ballpark. With that said, L.A. Noir is an excellent game. The setting, 1940's LA. The protagonist, an up-and-running silver star war Veteran by the name of Cole Phelps. The mission, bring justice to the streets. That is the feel of this game. LA Noir goes out of its way to bring you an authentic experience while still keeping it fun. The story is not very well connected at first, you are just solving random cases. But then you start to get some attention and move up threw the ranks. Noir's characters are all very fleshed out, giving the game an even more indeph feel. The game also doesn't try to hold your hand all time as well. Yes it will give you hints if you ask your partner what to do, but for the most part YOU have to figure things out for yourself. Connecting the dots, following leads, shoot outs, and much much more. Pick up your copy of this game at your local GameStop today!

I was so excited to purchase this game after seeing a Let's Play of it on Youtube. When I saw that it was only eighteen dollars, I was shocked. I purchased it, and let me tell you, I abandoned life for this game. I played it 24/7. I'm quite the scaredy-cat when it comes to gaming, and currently I'm stuck on The Quarter Moon Murders case. The whole catacombs thing scares me. But anyways, This game is perfect. The graphics are exceptional. The game play is amazing. I actually felt like a real detective. Gathering clues, examining the body, chasing running suspects, interrogating the suspects, and locking up the criminals, are just some of the amazing features.

I really enjoy playing this game. The setting is perfect and looks beautiful. The facial animation were amazing and almost looked to good to real. Surprisingly this game is really fun to play with a friend. It feels like the guy using the controller is Phelps, but the other guy is the "other guy". When playing with a friend you get to solve cases together. If one of you are stumped on a hard riddle, you'll find your partner saying, "I GOT IT!" "It was ___!" Numerous time I found myself high fiving my friend shouting as one of us sped down the street to get to the next clue/location. The gameplay never get stale, and interragating someone is really fun.

Since I first heard about this game I knew that I needed it. What I really love in a game is beautiful graphics and a wonderful story line that I can really enjoy. That is what I thought made a game; turns out that it is not. When I first started playing it, I was super excited that I had finally gotten it. After about an hour, though, I got incredibly bored because it was so slow. Even know I am still not finished with it because I just cannot get myself to play it. If you have really good patience then you might like it more than I did. TL;DR version- It is a very long game with a great story line, but it is incredibly slow at many points which is it's downfall.

It really is a great game. The story is epic, I was shocked at what happened. The suits look ba. And the DLC is worth it. Getting a five star case is a little hard. What also makes this game great is the fact that you can make your partner drive, for those lazy people like me. I think rockstar should make another game just like this, but better.

When I bought this game I had already envisioned what this game would be. A GTA clone set in the early 50's. Fortunately for me, this was NOT the case in the slightest. This game lives in a realm all its own. The game-play is absolutely stellar and the voice acting is spectacular. For the first three hours I played, I was in complete awe. The attention to detail and care Rockstar has given this game was surprising. They always put out good games, but many feel like reskined GTA games. I highly recommend this to anyone whom enjoys Rockstar games (Because, with how different it is, its still Rockstar quality), or anyone who enjoys stupendous gaming experiences.

At first this game was really fun and i enjoyed it but then it just kept repeating it self like every other crime scene investigation i don't like it very much it gets really boring the only thing i enjoyed was the crime stories and the way they set up the game but making the game repeat its self like every mission is so not my thing ... just wish it was different..also it feels like its a never ending game.

This game is probably my favorite game of all time. it is so fun going around finding clues, questioning suspects, getting into gunfights, and chasing criminals on foot and cars. it is a really good game and you should buy it.

The title of my review says it all. The graphics are amazing. The way the characters talk makes it look so real. The gameplay is awesome, and there is plenty to do. It's a free roam game, so you could just basically do whatever you like. Similar to GTA, but not quite. I definitely would recommend this game to anyone, whether you like detective games or not! :D

To start my review I just have to say Rock star you are freaking awesome!
L.A. Noire is amazing the game play, graphics, and controls are top notch which isn't surprising from Rock star. Basically you place as a former war hero Cole Phelps and he joins the police force. You start off as a regular cop and you work your way up the ranks and go through 5 desks (Patrol, Traffic, Homicide, Vice and Arson.) The game is pretty lengthy but there's always something new to discover. The plot and twist of the game is very engaging. (NO SPOILERS) Overall this game is fun it may be different from other Rock star games but that was what they were going for so no more rocket launchers or spawning vehicles this game strictly focuses on detective work. This game involves more thinking than killing. You do kill people but only during missions so no beating up hookers with a bat any more you are the good guy this time. One more thing I know a lot of people have said on this site that there's no free roam in this game but there 100% is. All you have to do is go to the main menu and select cases there you will see any missions you have completed and then there's the Streets of L.A. that's the free roam mode it even says that when you view it. So I just wanted to prove to you guys that you can roam the world. There isn't much to do in free roam (Driving and street crimes) but it's still a fun game so at least try the game you might like it anyway thanks for reading my review 10/10
