    Это одна из первых игр моего детства. И, несмотря на возраст и недостатки, о которых я сейчас узнаю от других, она не кажется мне плохой

    A unique game from Rockstar in which you play as the Police investigating crimes and murders. Real-time street crimes is one of the best features of this game.

    absurdly fun game, at first I thought it would be a GTA from the 40's but it's not like that, this is just an "open world" game with criminal investigation where the audio, animations and mainly They are mind blowing especially if you consider being a 2011 game as few games have such a perfect facial expression!

    Not without its flaws but a good game nonetheless. Just played it again, though on my second playthrough I did notice it does suffer from a lack of variety but the story makes up for it

    One of the best games I've ever played. The face tracking software is better than any other game ever released, which plays into one of the main mechanics of the game.

    Played this game many years ago and yet it left a memorable experience that I still think about from time and time today. Great recreation of a time period with a rather interesting story to boot. Hopefully will go back and play this someday.

    A good story but it feels empty after a few hours of playing and there is some poor optimisations, other than that it is a great game

    This is one of the best games I have ever played. It's in my top 5 at least. The game has a charm that is hard to find nowadays. I love the setting, the soundtrack, the story. A big part of games for me is collectables, which could've been better in this game. The missions are great, and I love the investigating parts SO MUCH.

    facial animations are something you haven't seen in any other game; by looking at suspect's facial expressions you can tell either he/she is telling the truth or hiding something; music suits the noire theme of the game; story is good; game play makes you think a little in order to crack the cases open
    definitely worth your time

    It is an adult game for adults. Don't get me wrong - you won't see here a lot of sex or naked bodies, don't even expect to see here some crazy violence and gore - what makes this game adult is hidden in something completely different and this "something different" is the story, dialogues, characters and in some sense the gameplay.

If I was to recommend one and only one game to my father, uncle or even grandpa L.A. Noire probably would be the only candidate. What I didn't like though is how majority of the stories used to end - quite often the end came too abrupt, without sufficient explanation of what really happened and what is more important why.… Expand

The "motion capture" technique used to recreate the faces of actors is just amazing, and you can actually recognize the actors and see real faces, rather then a animated version. A bonus is that the DLC that comes with this version of the game is actually weaved in with the main storyline, rather than having some random cases with no connection to the game afterwards. Loved it! Try it!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay: It has an average gameplay compared to the year it was released. The detective parts were designed in a simple and non-tiring way. The combat mechanics could be done better. The in-game animations are also good compared to the year they were released.The detective book is well prepared. This is one of the details that make the gameplay beautiful.

    Story:The main story of the game did not draw me in. But the little stories in detective missions were really nice. The fact that we are constantly promoted and witnessing other crime events makes us have an immersive experience. So we got average main story, and perfect side missions therefore we can say that game gives the story it promised.

    Graphics:The graphics are good, but some details reduce this situation to the average level. For example, buildings have an important things for the game atmosphere, but the building designs in this game are very simple. NPC designs could be further elaborated. Although the facial animations are very good, the body parts are not that good. Apart from these, it has good graphics compared to 2011.

    Musics:The soundtrack really reflects the history of the game. We can say that the best part of the game is the music.

    Sound Effects:The sound effects are average, as they should be compared to 2011, so there is no part to be praised or disparaged.

    Optimization:Its optimization on the PC port should have been better. It was a game that wasn't optimized well enough.

    Rockstar and Team Bondi tried a different game and succeeded.
    Facial animations are at an unprecedented level even now (2020).
    Combat system and open world could have been more diverse.
    Despite calling it an open world genre, this game does not contain an open world.
    The atmosphere of the history of the game could have been better reflected.
    +Despite these, it is the reference point of detective games.    … Expand

    One of the best detective games. Has a good story behind the game, still has good graphics, has a nice open world but a little bit non-interactive because of game's age. Overall, if you want to feel like a detective, this game will definitely make you feel.

    Speechlessly perfect in all aspects. From the characters, the world, the mechanics, the story, the features and to the visual. There game merely has a flaw. The game makes you think and observe carefully, not just play. Which is an element of gaming that a lot of games lack.

Técnicamente para el año en al cual salió que eso es importante es potente, tanto a nivel de físicas como a nivel gráfico; la historia sorprende, no solo sorprende ver caras de esas personas que creía que eran inocentes, sino que la historia del Cole es buena, y te muestran algo de su experiencia como marine en la mayoría del final de cada capitulo en vídeo, y cuando se acerca el final su vida da un giro radical y todo le cambia; no es un juego mundo abierto como tal aunque en cada caso el juego nos permite explorar el gran mapa y este para cada caso tiene distintos crímenes callejeros, hay 40 en total, y no creáis que la libertad que este te ofrece es parecida a la de la saga GTA o RDR ni de coña se le acerca, estas sagas están a otro nivel, y digo estas sagas porque son de las más importantes y son de la misma compañía, la gran Rockstar, pero si es cierto que hay hay algo por hacer aunque a veces resulte aburrido ir por el mapa es en unos puntos muy limitados, puedes visitar sitios emblemáticos de Los Ángeles de mediados del siglo XX, crímenes callejeros, descubrir hasta 95 vehículos y en el mundo libre pocas opciones más te dan, una buena comparación con este título sería el mafia 2, ya que las cosas que puedes hacer en mafia son más en cuento a mundo abierto se refiere y a historia como tal y nivel de realismo, y si sabéis como es este Mafia 2 pues este LA Noire es parecido en cuanto a libertad; la ambientación es sobresaliente, tanto el mapa y los interiores como la música de la época y banda sonora y sonido; otro punto son las expresiones faciales, aunque se note que es un juego de pasada generación estas en su época estaban adelantadas a su época, tienen un alto nivel las expresiones faciales, algo que se agradece cuando en el juego eres detective y debes fijarte en las expresiones de las víctimas y recolectar pistas; y más cosas. Ahora los puntos malos. Las misiones principales son buenas como dije antes pero si es cierto que hay que realizar acciones como seguir a un sospechoso o perseguir y acabar con un enemigo, y hay poca variedad de armas y en combate a la hora de usar coberturas a veces falla y toca los cojones porque hacen que los enemigos te den y te maten; está capado en PC a 30 fps, un error, aunque no requiere habilidad porque no es un juego rápido, contra más fps mejor; me he topado con varios problemas técnicos, no son graves, pero es algo normal, ya que nada es perfecto, y algunos fallos te joden la partida; antes dije que había coleccionables, algo que sirve para explorar el mapa, pero hay muy pocos y el tema de los coches se me hizo repetitivo de cojones y no llegué a los 95; y por último la IA no es mala, en general es buena, ya que tus compañeros te ayudan en combate y ves como hacen bajas, pero a veces se queda empanada y si quieres que te lleven en auto a veces se empanan y en otros sitios te bloquean el paso y te impiden pasar por huecos estrechos. Lo recomiendo porque es un juego muy bueno y merece la pena porque tiene mucho contenido, aunque lo que más disfruté fue la historia y los crímenes callejeros. Es un título un poco distinto a lo que hace rockstar, aunque team bondi sea la desarrolladora, rockstar está implicada, no es un título para todos, pero si te gusta la investigación y las buenas historias te lo recomeindo porque los juegos que hace rockstar son como mínimo excelentes.Y un punto muy negativo que tienen casi todos los juegos de esta compañía en pc es que hay que descargarse archivos externos para joder ejecutar este juego, Rockstar en pc DA ASCOOOOOO. GTA V que lo tengo en su plataforma me dió los mismos errores.… Expand

    A unique adventure game that borrows many features from mystery and action games, incorporating them seamlessly in the narrative flow, thus creating a truly special game that not everyone will enjoy. And that's because it has its own character, defying contemporary 'fast food' games that are churned out today and because it's reminiscent of endeavors made in another era, where immersion of an ultimate single-player experience was the first and last goal of their creators.
