This is a very linear game, besides side missions, but it's a classy story that's told in a very unique way - with some wartime flashbacks thrown in.

It'll put you alongside evil cruel characters, and dodgy cops to reinforce this. LA Noir wants you to take being an upstanding officer very seriously. maybe it was the style of the time?īut I agree Bajo - if you're expecting an action packed open world pimp ladder climbing experience, you're going to be disappointed. they don't pick it up, they just casually stroll off! The citizens of LA also talk to themselves a lot. though it bothers me when they drop something. and you can't punch or pull out a gun when walking about the city. Hitting civilians with your car is very difficult, costs the state a lot of money. and quite unlike Rockstar's GTA or Red Dead.

After showing some initiative on the street, your career takes off as you work your way through the ranks, investigating some very grizzly murders. Phelps is an up and coming, Dan Ackroyd-sounding detective who plays everything by the book and, in our case, is also a terrible, terrible driver. You play as Cole Phelps effortlessly played by actor Aaron Staton from Mad Men. Welcome to Hollywoodland! Where everyone is a liar, and you are the justice that weeds out their selfish and criminal intentions. it's a time of violence and corruption, and fancy cars. and the effects of war world 2 are still present. a town full of glitz, glamour, and temptation. Aussie developer Team Bondi has teamed up with the open-world experts Rockstar games, to bring us LA NOIRE.
