This game is OK for RS and could be a lot better. Hopefully another instalment will come up trumps

On release, L.A. Noire was something different. Back in 2011 it bucked a lot of trends and placed a lot of emphasis on its characters and on humanising its cast. Unfortunately, due to poor marketing messages and last-minute design decisions, it didn't appear as slick as it initially could have.
