Is that a bad thing? Looking at the whole package it's something I could live without.

Pre-ordered mine at Game yesterday for the 360.

You never get the ability to swin in these types of games. Don't really think it is needed.

Aye, we didn't have it in RDR and that wasn't a problem. Plus I can't see there being much need for swimming. It's not like he has to escape from the law or anything.... he IS the fucking law!

A lucky Gamefaqs user has gotten his hands on the newest issue of OXM UK which features a review for L.A Noire. Receiving a perfect 10/10 L.A Noire is set to be one of the top games this year. Check out the details from the review below.

Very meaty, very lengthy (took them about 30 hours to finish the main story, and took them around 40ish to complete everything)

Very cinematic, takes many cues from LA Confidential they said. Also according to the reviewer "A game that bridges cinema and the gaming universe."

Motion Scan is the highlight for them, and the feeling of actually being a detective. They said no game comes close to the experience that they had with L.A Noire.

Great Narrative. In there opinion they said it has the dramatic, and cinematic storytelling of Heavy Rain, with the complexity of Metal Gear Solid, mixed with the length of Red Dead Redemption (but longer).

Excellent pacing. At first you start somewhat slow, but you quickly rise within the ranks. Once you finish the 30 hour epic you become attatched with the world, the characters, the cases. Not many games have done that for him (said the reviewer).

-Gameplay is a bit clunky. If your fan of Red Dead, or GTA IV then the gameplay of LA Noire won't feel out of place. That said, they were hoping for some advancement in this aspect.

Overall Score: 10/10

Closing comments;

"If you were expecting L.A Noire to be a reskinned GTA then you will be left severely disappointed. Many times we hear, "Who will be gaming's Citizen Kane?". Personally, I don't have the gall to say L.A Noire is that type of game. But it is a game that will revolutionize the gaming industry as we know it. Never in my 20 year history of gaming have I encountered a game with as much finesse, intelligence, and attention to detail as L.A Noire, and for that I applaud L.A Noire. A game which has the nerve to do so much, in an industry where a seldom few are."

Sounds like Rockstar games has another hit on their hands.

EDIT: Ignore this, apparently it's fake. Still wouldn't be surprised if got 10 or 9.

Urgh. I've still got to finish Red Dead Redemption, and then I'll be getting Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, so I'll probably have to wait a few weeks until I get LA Noire at the earliest, maybe same with Lego PotC since Red Dead Redemption will still take me a while to finish unless I rape it.

Can't really afford it either with having to fork out so much just to fix my bike. Grr.

14 minutes of gameplay on here, tiny spoilers in the video apparently.

http://kotaku.com/5802203/14-minutes-of-la-noires-unexpected-thrills


From what I've seen in the video

Can't get your gun out whenever you want
Can't run over people
Auto jumping
Different partners after promotion
Partners can take over control of the car
Don't go into the game thinking it will be anything like GTA, there are car chases, gun fights and fist fights but it's not an action orientated game, it's a thinking game.

There will still be some free roam element, otherwise why would they release an edition that has an atypical Rockstar collection element?

I hope there are random criminal acts too, so you can just 'cop' out of the main cases for a while!

I can understand the gun ethic too. You are supposed to be a good guy...

Yeah it's free roam and you get crimes called in through the police radio which you can accept.

IGN review 8.5, doesn't surprise me as IGN are bunch of losers who only like games like MW.
