Much of the reviews that I have seen are saying the same thing about LA noire now here is my take on the Latest game from Rockstar and Team Bondi.
LA noire’s story is so good that I will just tell you what you probably already know, you play as Cole Phelps as you rise through the ranks of the LAPD (patrol, traffic, homicide, vice and Arson) each desk is interesting and it is good to see how the police was like in that time period where warrants weren’t needed and tensions are high between the different desks. Each desk has a partner who are varied and have their own personalities; partners help you if you are confused and assist in gunfights and brawls.
On each case you will be presented with a crime scene where you have to find evidence and interview people of interest, when interviewing you have to analyse the persons facial expressions and tell whether they are telling the truth, or if you doubt there evidence or accuse them of lying in which case you will need to produce evidence to prove it. However you will also get into more action situations such as a car chase, a brawl, a gunfight or a chase on foot. All these features are believable and work.
The sound to LA noire is just incredible. Not only is the voice acting amazing the music is to and changes dramatically to suite to mood, however it is the sheer size of actors and actresses that lend not only there voice but their faces to the game, both of which are critical to interrogation, Rockstar also made great efforts to make sure that the pedestrians are individuals with their own voices as there are over 20 voices for the public.
However there are a few problems if you are a 360 owner then you will see some glitches like cars disappearing and on one occasion the audio cut out for a few moments but these aren’t a huge problem considering the graphics are amazing, it’s no wonder that the game come on three disks on the 360, so if you want the best experience then buy it for PS3. Also the lack of side missions is annoying, apart from collecting the insane amount of cars (over 90) and responding to dispatch calls there isn’t anything to do, plus you can’t pull out your gun and randomly kill people like in the GTA games but I wasn’t bothered about that.
LA noire deserves an 8/10. The game is so hard to put down but it can get repetitive so take it a case at a time. However there isn’t much to its core, but the amazing story and fun and interesting gameplay make it a winner. Buy this game!!
Soon I will review the downloadable content for LA noire starting with Nicolson Electroplating, if you have any comments or want to suggest another game to review, then please comment it would help a lot, soon you will see a review for Alan Wake and for flight sim fans the A2a simulations spitfire.
