L.A. Noire for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I don't think the people who play Rockstar games understand some differences in the gaming genre they love so much.

1)Rockastar isn't always the Developer. Rockstar published this game. That means all they did was lend money to the developer. Team Bondi who is the developer doesn't make GTA so why would they make a game like GTA. not being able to shoot civilians or run them over in your car ties in with the story and makes sense.

2) Open world isn't Sandbox. This game is an open world game, not a sandbox game. In open world games like this or Mafia II has a world that is used for atmosphere not as your play thing. It is there to get you into the world. The difference between L.A. Noire and Mafia II though is this game gives you street crimes to do that are fun and help the game last.

That being said I really loved this game It looks good and has a nice setting to it. In the game you'll do a lot of chasing that gives it a real film noire feel to it. Don't get this game if you are expecting a Rockstar game because it's not. Go into this game with a fresh mind and you'll thoroughly enjoy every minute of it.

LA NOIR starts you off as a fellow police officer. As you get farther the game only gets harder. i think the game would have been better if you could do more instead of drive around and do street crimes. maybe be able to be a 1940s mobster. but all in all the game was good but hard.
