L.A. Noire reviewReviewed May 19, 2011Tom Chick says: "What eventually passes for core gameplay in LA Noire is a bad guessing game in which you have to decide whether people are lying and which bits of evidence from your inventory confirm the lie.

L.A. Noire reviewReviewed April 13, 2012Alk31997 says: "I have never seen a game like LA Noire before.

The game is a phenomenon and is a gold buckle on Rockstar’s long plated belt. " |

L.A. Noire reviewReviewed June 11, 2011Suskie says: "What a big, overlong miscalculation L.A. Noire is. It has the ingredients of an engaging detective game but then hastily shoves them aside in favor of drama, and it has a tight script and the best motion capture work in the business, all to present a story that’s meandering, unfocused, and anticlimactic. L.A. Noire’s plot and gameplay both seem to exist to service the other, and neither works." |
