L.A. Noire review

Reviewed August 13, 2011

Gary Hartley says: "L.A. Noire is as ambitious as it is broken, presenting yet another game where you spend way too much time driving around a fantastically realised landscape while your passenger pleads with you to slow down, taking nothing but claustrophobic pre-planned routes that only showcases 10% of the game’s world with zero reason to stray outside the beaten path."

L.A. Noire review

Reviewed May 22, 2011

asherdeus says: "L.A. Noire is a fairly dull detective game unnecessarily superimposed on an open-world. Most of the time players spend while playing L.A. Noire is doing things that are boring, mindless, rote. When the cases are interesting, as several admittedly are, the mystery is compelling enough to drive players through these rough patches. But when the cases fall flat, players can become quickly disinterested and the game starts to become wearing and tedious."
