L.A Noire GME - 9 10 PS3 - £12.94 (play.com) Xbox 360 - £11.39 (base.com) PC - £5.99 (play.com) There are two things you need to know going into L.A. Noire, and the first is that this isn't just a 1940sset Grand Theft Auto. Yes, it features a lot of driving and shooting in an open world, but its real focus is on investigation. And while you're probably already aware of its detective-sim aspects, you might be surprised to learn that you’ll actually spend a lot more time scouring crime scenes and questioning suspects than you will chasing them down and/or shooting them dead. L .A. Noire is an action-adventure neo-noir crime, developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. The game takes place in the year 1947, in the city of Los Angeles, a city of glamour, fame, and wealth, but also where crime, vice, and corruption are rife. The player assumes the role of Los Angeles Police Department Officer, and later Detective, Cole Phelps. The game starts with Phelps as a uniformed patrolman, and follows his career as he advances through the police department bureaus of Traffic, Homicide, Vice and Arson. GME
