Excellent game, with a few minor flaws

5 out of 5 starsScore: 100/100

To sum it up, L.A Noire was well worth my money. It can be best summed up as an "open world detective simulator", but it is much more. i went into this game with high expectations, i have never played a bad Rockstar game and didnt expect to now.

Needless to say, i was very happy with the experience  this game gave me, and while (In my opinion) not quite as good as Red Dead Redemption, it is still an amazing game.

Pros- Great story
            -Great  Atmosphere
            -Cases are all rather fun
               -Captures the feel of a Noire Film Perfectly.
             - Amazingly Recreated image of L.A
                -Keeps you wanting more

Cons- not much else to do after its finished. (in my opinion, being able to go out to clubs and out drinking would have added a nice touch, even if it only opened up dialouge)
            - Vice Desk (in my opinion the best part) is not nearly long enough
            - Would have liked to see more of Coles Personal life, and learn more about his family.

In my opinion the game delivers what its expected to and more, if you have come in looking for "Grand theft Mafia" then your out of luck, but if you know what your getting in too then you will almost undoubtedly enjoy your experience.
