L.A. Noire - Xbox 360

l.a noire is an awesome cop game set in 1940s Los Angeles. the main character is cole phelps, a world war 2 veteran who becomes a cop, and then works his way up to Detective. there are many cases and in every case, you have to:interegate, put in prison, or even kill on sight.overall a very unique crime game.

My husband bought this game for me due to my love of detective shows and old Hollywood themed material. I must say, it has become my absolute favorite game of all time. I am absolutely obsessed with it! The story and graphics are incredible, the music is dark and really sets the tone for the intensity of the game, and the controls are very smooth and easy to use. Add to that there are a lot of things to do. Once you complete story mode (which took me about three days) you can unlock the free roam mode and go back to find more of the cars, newspapers, and film reels you may have missed during the story, which leads to various achievements. The new technology that they used for the facial expressions and actions is awesome, especially during the interrogations. There is a lot of action in the game, so I don't really understand why some people said the game was boring. There are plenty of gunfights, fist fights, car chases, etc. to keep you fully entertained between the "paperwork". However, this game does require you to think. It is not just a mindless shooter like Call Of Duty that anyone can play. You have to make decisions and come to the correct conclusions based on body language and the evidence you collect. Therefore, if you are not a fan of games in which you have to actually think things through, maybe this isn't the one for you. But if you are like me, and want a little critical thinking sprinkled into your shooting, try this one out. You will not be disappointed. Rockstar, you have a winner on your hands, and I sincerely hope there is a sequel on the horizon.
