I was all hyped up about this game from rockstar and even though the game has great graphics and facial animation technology, i still like it to be an open ended world with stores,safehouses and activitieslike GTA there is hardly any gameplay and it is very repetetive I think they should have atleast incorporated the elements of GTA and RDR into it.

I guess Skyrimor Uncharted 3would be GOTY

1. Rockstar is the publisher not the developer 2. its a detective thriller game, how does a sheriff or underbelly based game fit in with this? Detectives don't need safe houses and they have one job only, not to run around stealing cars etc.

So because a crime scene investigation game is not a GTA clone it cannot be GOTY? The main character is a policeman...how would creating mahem and running over citizens fit in with any kind of story? Well hopefully you did not waste your money on it if you don't like it and just rented it.

I suggest you finish the game to polish your detective skills so you can use them in the future to avoid disappointment before purchasing a game.

I completely disagree with you... Triple A hype for this game.

Pls, it looks much and more accessible than GTA in terms of everything.

Lol ! Wow so many defenders for this game!! I never said this game was bad but i just said it doesnt deserve to be a GOTY contender! I dont mind being on the good side but there has to be many side activities from the main mission, in short there should be more gameplay other than mere interactive cutscenes! But i do like this game but never got the same satisfaction as RDR or any GTA game!!

If you actually read some previews on the game, most of them were saying "If you are expecting this game to be like GTA, you will be disappointed." Maybe, next time you read up on some reviews before buying a game.

Clear case of not judging a book by its cover here.

It will most likely be in the running along with Uncharted 3, Gears of War 3, and a few others.

"L.A. Noire is a video game developed by Team Bondi in conjunction with Rockstar Games[10] and published by Rockstar Games. Initially announced as a PlayStation 3 exclusive, the game was later reported to also be scheduled for release on the Xbox 360"

Wonderful thing the internet is.

Maybe you should check yourself before you refute someone elses (accurate) claim.

Did you actually complete the game before deciding upon this? Have you played through the entire game at all?

Game is average at best. You clowns need to stop leg-humping it simply because you bought it first day and want to justify the purchase. It's a decent game, that's it.

I'm honestly glad it isn't. I want to put my mind on to something for once. (In gaming of course)

What exactly defines if the clowns are the ones that praise the game or the ones that bash it? People have different opinions. They always did.

It was pretty commonly known before release, and even mentioned repeatedly by both Rockstar staff and video game reviewers everywhere, that L.A. Noire was not a GTA set in the 1940's, so I can't imagine how you disappointed yourself when all the facts were right there.

Weather or not it should be GOTY is debateable, so many other awesome games are still to come out.. i do think it should be a contender. They tried something different. Look how many sequels we have.. BF3, COD:MW3. Uncharted 3, Infamous2, Red Faction: Armageddon etc etc. Its awesome to see a developer bringing out something new and refreshing. This is not GTA, it was never marketed as the next GTA so everyone that are so unhappy that you can't run around blowing stuff up, you brought that upon yourselves for not watching a single interview/preview of the game, or checking out any reviews before buying. Im really enjoying LA Noire. Its something different and its done well. It's interesting playing the role of a detective. I enjoy running around blowing something up as much as the next person, but it's good to try new things and this is a great experience. I just finished solving a case last night where i had two suspects in different interrogation rooms. The evidence was strongly against both of them and i had to interogate and make a choice who to charge. So i went with the one the evidence was stronger against.. afterwards i actually thought for a while about how maybe i was wrong and should have charged the other guy.

Everyone has a opinion, just because it isn't the same as yours doesn't make anyone a clown.

Its sad that so many people think Rockstar= GTA. Its kind of limiting where the company can go. They attempt to come out with a new style of came, and receive all this instant backlash because it isn't there old game. Its a shame really. I wonder if they will ever shake that.

There are some things to do aside from the main story. You can report to street crimes, discover landmarks, film reels, newspapers that reveal some backstory, and discover all cars. L.A. Noire is not like GTA; it's always been said to be a detective game. What do you think detectives do?

Anyways, I'm loving this game; investigating the crime scene for clues and interrogating suspects is pretty fun. I also like that you can miss out on crucial information or vital clues, which in turn, makes it harder to crack the case. Also glad that you can turn off clue hints off since it makes investigating harder and more authentic.

Funny how many little kids are crying that the game isn't "GTA with fedoras" when Rockstar Games specifically said "This is not 'GTA with fedoras'" I personally love the game. As far as I'm concerned it's tied with Portal 2 for GOTY for me. So far, anyways. No, it is NOT a GTA clone. It is it's own game. It's original. It's a very cinematic and story-driven game. That's a good thing.

Please. I'm not 10 years old. I have a LOT of games, and I have definitely bought less than average games on day 1. Hell, I bought Naughty Bear... you think I tried to sing the praises of that pile of garbage just because I owned it? Grow up, little boy.

You said Uncharted 3 is a game of the year contendor. While I agree with you on that part, it's funny you say that when Uncharted 3 has no side quests and is basically nothing but interactive cust scenes as well.
