L.A. Noire is a unique experience that should be played by all fans of crime games
L.A. Noire takes place in a bustling 1947 Los Angeles, with you playing as detective Cole Phelps. Without going into too much detail, Cole begins the game as a renowned World War II veteran with a beautiful family and successful career, but things do change as you venture later into the game. The story is expertly written, and the cinematography is every bit as excellent as what you may expect from a 1940's film noir. The MotionScan technology captures every facial movement of the actors, and the other visual aspects of the game are also stunning - the voice acting is also spot on, and I can't find any complaints when talking about these aspects of L.A. Noire. The gameplay is also very solid, and although I do notice a bit of repetition later on in the game as well as a fairly easy difficulty and not quite enough action, L.A. Noire still stands as one of 2011's most original and greatest video games. This one is highly recommended.
