I always take my own sweet time to play my games. I still haven't finished Yakuza 4 yet.

same here bro...

this game no multiplayer?

i thought it had multiplayer like RDR or GTA4. oh well, still, i prioritize single player experience more than multiplayer xD

lack of map sheet is rather disturbing, usually r* games include map but not la noire ! but still great game though....

Yeah I remember when they Announce it , Waited so long

I got my MS:Apocalypse from there for RM175 on release day because nobody was selling it here yet. Although I don't really buy my games there I wouldn't say the prices are super expensive.

hmm

ive gone 1 h 12 minutes into the game and already my game progress is 4/21 cases solved... 10.xx % game completion

i was like wtf ? so fast ?

the first 3 "cases" ended way too fast or shud i say i tot i was on my 1st case by the time i completed the murder case....

wat confused me is the abrupt end at the beginning case where i was investigating in an apartment... it jump straight to some flashbacks and here i am.. starting on another case... i was like... wth

so far so good... the only thing i don like is controlling where cole shud be facing .. so i can pick up those evidence to solve my case...

nvm.. read gamefaqs that the 1st 3 cases were meant to be very short only the 4th offers a more comprehensive investigation

traffic cases very quick and easy. thats why finish so fast.

i am in my third detective case and i am already bored. it's a more polished version of csi: fatal conspiracy with an open world concept and much better production values.

feels like a 40s noir television drama but fark me, each case almost ends the same way (someone throw stuff at u/shoot at u and u have to chase the sob).

zzzzzz

if u have evidence - LIE
if no evidence - DOUBTFUL.

sorry but i am not convinced.

Actually true. That's the subtle cues of body language. haha. Its mostly on the eyes really.

But yeah to each his own mang. The premise of the whole game was made to be simple also frankly.

My review:

So far i played until my 3rd detective case and the facial animations in this game is incredible and so is the voice acting. the musical score is also fantastic. It feels like you are in a detective movie. Graphics are very nice and there are no frame rate issues. The game is open world and plays just like Grand Theft Auto but much tighter and more refined. When getting into the drivers seat, you will open your note book and decides what location is going to be your destination. En-route to these destinations, you will hear calls out for police assistance, provided you’re driving a Police Car, and can then either respond or ignore the call which turns into a side mission. The side missions vary from something as routine as stopping someone from committing suicide to putting an end to a hostage taking. They’re fun and a nice distraction from the overall story – another thing to note about the side missions is they help raise your rank in the police force and earning you more intuition points which come in handy with your investigations.

When interrogating suspects or witnesses, you have 3 responses Lie, Doubt and Truth. All of which will have different responses. You have to really pay attention to who they’re talking to as the NPC will display certain responses if they’re giving the truth, unsure or lying. All I can say is pay attention to their eyes they tell a whole lot. If you’re completely unsure, you can go back and look over the evidence and notes before making the decision or your detective’s intuition. Using intuition uses a point to remove one answer giving the user a 50/50 shot at making the right guess.

If you are looking for high paced action, you may be disappointed as LA Noire is really about the atmosphere, story and the homage being paid to the movies this game so heavily draws inspiration from. LA Noire has managed to find the perfect balance between detective work and action. This is one of those rare games that tries to do something a little different than the norm and succeeds. This is a must buy game. The only thing bad about it is, there is no multi-player.

Score: 9/10.

If they let you put a moustache on Phelps, it would be even more impressive.
