L.a Noire is game made by Team bondi and pubished by rockstar.Set in 40's of LA during LA one of most intersing times.It's new and different but is it any good?
Graphics:
L.A Noire is visual notable for using Lightsprint's real-time global illumination technology, as well as Depth Analysis's newly developed technology for the film and video game industries called MotionScan, where actors are recorded by 32 surrounding cameras to capture facial expressions from every angle.This makes big impact on the game for interagation and questioning.This also helps make the characters look more human and you will most likley be looking at character and saying i've seen them before in something which is one of the first games to do this well.Facial expression look amazing and are some of the best done in a video game.The city it's self looks great it feels like LA in 40's and you can see all best things LA at to ofter which is nice.Everything fits in time period well and really catches what it would be like to live in that time period.L.A Noire does have glithes and they can sometimes affect the way you play the game,I once failed mission because when i was tailing a girl and she went though a wall and never came out and i failed the mission.I only ran into around 4-5 of these the arn't as big as that one but they were still be noticble.There are also pop-ups which can be annoying even with these probelms the visuals still impressed me.

Sound:
L.A noire got this down perectly.The voice acting is one of best you will see in a video game getting great actors from Tv shows and movies like Mad Men and Fringe.They do great job of keeping you interested in story and caring about the characters.The theme is great to listen as is the soundtrack and radio shows.The wrting is also big part of what makes the voice acting great with a well written tale.Team Bondi really couldn't have done this any better.Fun fact there's about some 20 hours of voice acting in this game.

Story:
L.A Noire you assume the role of Cole Phelps, an LAPD officer who rises through the ranks of the department. He has joined the police force to "right the wrongs" he committed during the Second World War. He starts off as a patrolman, then advances to traffic detective, homicide, vice, and finally arson investigator. Each rank gives the player a partner who will help Phelps in his investigations, fights, and arrests.
The Story of his time in the war is told though flashbacks which are intersing to watch and gives you backrounds of the characters.Talking about backgrounds you get farther in the game you can find newspaper which tell you more about the bigger picture within the game. the parther you get feels different from each other and you will end up loving and hating some of your parters.Sometimes with these great story's you will be doing some cases and you wonder if it will even have an impact on the game.The story might be slower pacing than other Rockstar games but L.a Noire feels like it should be paced the way it is and fit into the Noire mood set which it does well.Overall i really enojoyed the story in L.a Noire.(a little nice thing L.a noire does is that it lets your parter drive you around)

(Here's trailer about story)
Time:
L.A Noire story takes around 20 hours to complete if you do some street crimes and looking around LA for flim reels,locations and cars.If you want to complete everything and get perect on every cases it should take around 30 to 35 hours.There flims reels like a said over 90 cars to go into and 30 key locations to find also getting every newspaper,DLC.It's not a bad package.

Gameplay:
The most important element in a game is gameplay and L.A Noire doesn't disspointed it feels like a mix between Phoenix Wright,GTA and Heavy Rain.Unlike GTA you can't go around killing people and running over people if you do you will be punished.The interagation aspects of a game work great and feels like your actually uncoving the mystery of the case and it is unlike anything i've played.The way to pick up objects in game could be smoother but it works well.Everything eles in the game works well and gets the job done.L.A Noire is a game that's not made to be played for more than 2 hours staight,it's better you take your time. You will do better on caaes and the game will feel less reptivies.Overall the gameplay is some new different and great new features makes gameplay great game.The game never feels like the gameplay as to take anything out of the story.

(here's video on gameplay)
Overall:
L.a Noire is new different game that feels like nothing we have played.There are some set backs with game like the ending,glithes and replay valve for some people but what does right it does great and i would ask for everyone to try this game.For being fan of Noire and 40's era it makes happy say this is best game set in that era with incredable voice acting, great gameplay i would have to give L.a Noire a
