Overall, I enjoyed this game. I wouldn't go around and praise how incredible it is, but it certainly boasts the typical high-quality standard from Rockstar that a gamer can expect. The graphic detail during both game-play and cut-scenes is fantastic. The writing is also very well done. The only reason I gave this game an 8 instead of a high-9 or even 10, was the following: (1) There were no gameplay difficulty settings available. There is only one option and it is fairly easy, even for a casual gamer. Shooting scenes and various criminal chases to not bring any real excitement for the players seeking any type of challenge. (2) There are many crime cases to follow throughout the game; however, once the player has made progress halfway, the cases start to become fairly redundant. Rockstar could have added some extra surprises and changes to keep the cases interesting all the way to the last case.

This award goes to L.A. Noire for being one of the few good crime solving games left. And It is my honor to be giving this award to this game. And I say with out a doubt in my mind that this is the best crime solving game and that is why I give this award to L.A. Noire.

I first played this game at my cousins house and once i played 1 or 2 cases i knew this was one of those games i was going to love. I save up the money went to GameStop and bought it. I'm still in the process of beating the game. It has amazing graphics, the game play is amazing, everything is great. Its not like GTA where you just go around shooting people. You play case by case during those cases you could every where but i recommend you don't play crazy like GTA it will mess up the game. Enjoy

This game is perfect for: casual gamers

The game is definatly designed for adult gamers whom wants to use their brain. You also have to be really good at reading other peoples faces and tone of voice- so if you have borderline personality I wouldn't recommend this game to you (studies have shown that people with borderline personality can't read faces). Play this game with a beer in your hand if you want it to be action packed.

First of all i bought this game cause i like the detective thing and i love older cars. But this game is too long a it can get frustrating! The story is ok,but it takes for ever to complete a case and some have the stupid ''twist'' to them. The handling of the cars feels like in driving a go kart and all the vehicles feel pretty much the same handling and perfornace wise. If you like long sometimes boring cases,this is for you. I would recommend Mafia 2. And I'm using Ps3 if anyone was wondering.

This game is great. I love suspense, thriller and mystery movies. With LA Noire you really feel like your in one of those movies. The graphics are great expecially the characters faces. The story mode is a decent length. As for replay value you can free roam after the story mode, do random calls, collect cars, or just cruise LA and sight see. The map is pretty huge. I think this game is great and I recommend giving it a try especially if your just looking for something different.

This game is a complete masterpiece! You would think Rockstar would ruin a tactical detective game such as this, but they set the bar for many other games. This game makes you feel like you are at a theater with your girlfriend but oddly enough don't want to make-out and just watch the movie! Things are not as they seem in this game, with an ending that I believe was best. Everything in this game is connected somehow even when the case closes. The enviornment and the people show the corruption of the police in the Los Angeles area. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves to play games. It is a great buy and gives emotion and meaning to video games. Specific parts of this game actually made me cry, so guys don't play this around your girls unless you would like her to see you feel emotions. By the way, when you finish the game watch the cutscene after the credits to see how it all started. In the end, one of the greatest games I have ever played in my entire life. (Believe me, I have played a lot!)

When I first bought the game I was really excited but the first 5 minutes of the game didn't meet my expectations so i put it away. I pulled it out a few months later and figured i paid for it may as well put it to use. And WOW i love this game! It's so fun it's like playing a movie! the graphics are the best i've seen better than uncharted 3! the music and setting all of it is awesome. It has a real city with real landmarks and real cars for you to unlock. The only problem with this game is that once you finish the cases, street crimes, and finding the cars and getting achievements theres not a whole lot to do. But I'd sure love to see a LA Noire 2 or perhaps Chicago Noire!

this is a great detective game!, great experience!, i like the atmosphere of the early 1950's. some cases are really fun!, epic!. WHich SUCKS s their's barley shooting!!!!. some of the cases are sooo boring. some of the clues are hard to find. the side missions are terrible, all you do is chase people on foot and tackle them!. it's just different people at different locations. THEIRS NOTHING TO DO, YOU CAN'T EVEN GO INSIDE BUILDINGS. YOU CAN'T DO ACTIVITYS LIEK RED DEAD REDEMPTION OR GRAND THEFT AUTO!. ALL YOU DO AFTER THE GAME IS DRIVE! overall it'ss ok. ALL THEY CARED ABOUT THE MOST IS THEIR GRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY

This game was just down right amazing. The gameplay and story line are incredilbe. The graphics are the best I have seen. The sounds are very good too. The only problem I had with the game is it lasting appeal is not amzing to me. I play a couple of hours and them I go do something else. Its not a game where you can play 8 hours and never get bored. Other then that this has to be one of the top 10 best games ever made
