LA Noire First Impressions

This game looks like a cross between Mad Men and CSI, sprinkled with a touch of GTA to boot. I've been checking out the trailers and game play snippets to get an idea of what this game is going to be like. I must say I was immediately impressed by the photo realistic faces of the characters, it gives the game a very cinematic quality. By the looks of things the designers have opted for a similar system to Heavy Rain in terms of the interrogation and decision making interface.



I think the game looks great, and it is top of the preorder charts over at www.game.co.uk. My only hope is that the game has a free roaming element and is not too linear like a lot of games with a heavy focus on an absorbing storyline. LA Noire  looks like a strong candidate for game of the year, with an all star cast and ground breaking facial capture technology being used. One major problem with games of this nature in the age of highly successful and addictive MMO's is the replay factor, once it's completed it's probably going back on the shelf!

Well the release date is 20th May so I guess we will find out if it lives up to the hype. Below are a few trailers you may want to check out.
