LA Noire is a new kind of game that attempts to bring investigation, interrogation, and good old fashioned police action together to form a realistic experience. The year is 1947, you jump into the shoes of Cole Phelps, a WWII veteran who wants to put the war behind him and start a new life. Phelps joins the LAPD and begins as a patrolman; it is your job to help him move up the ranks and uncover the seedy underground of 1940’s Los Angeles.

The story of the game is engaging to make an understatement. It draws you in and makes you want to keep playing until the completion. There are dynamic consequences for your actions; if you don’t find all the evidence at a crime scene you won’t have enough to convince a suspect to come clean. There are betrayals, plot twists, and all the good stuff you would expect from a game based on the film noir genre.
