Impressive Graphics/ No Replay Value
The game is very well done. I've had nothing but good things to say about Rock Star Studios! The progression of starting at Rookie and becoming a Detective is neat! This game is great in the graphics department and story-line but once you've played though it once, that's about it. I must say that the facial expression are about as good as they get, no question! I had a great time playing through the Campaign but i have no reason to replay it. For the price of $19.99 is a good deal. If your the type of person that needs a lot going on or have a hard time focusing, Or just an action hound, this is not the game for u. Thanks for reading and happy gaming :)

Amazing story, no replay value due to it.
This game was a full out shock and awe for me the first time I played it.
Each case is almost a full story in its own. But unless there is a way to completely forget about every case there is no point in replaying it. The game is good because of its story and other than that if you know the answers you can stroll through it and it is very dull. Never the less I was very impressed the first time I played through it as I have said and I recommend everyone should check it out. I compare it to Assassin's Creed for its mystery and stalking missions.

Amazing game, little re-play value.
I was soo excited to get the game, and after receiving and playing, I have to say the game is absolutely amazing. But its not your average game, this is campaign only, there is no online, or co-op play. The game is based around its campaign, and it does very well doing so. The campaign is about an average length of 20 hours or so, if you were super into it.
Whats amazing about the game is the great graphics, and detail through the animation, the story is rich and follows real life stories that happened around the time period, what astounds me to hear is, that 90% of the architecture you see in the game is what you would be seeing in the mid 40's Los Angeles. The detail is truly outstanding.
The map is HUGE, it will easily take you AT LEAST 5 minutes to drive from one end of the map to the other.
The cases are interesting and really make you get into it, you find yourself actually wanting to search every possible area for a clue that will help you track down your killer.
There is plenty of good in this game, and in my opinion its worth it.
The new DLC that is available is bound to push the game-play even more.
I just can't see me playing it once I've beat it, honestly its a great game, there just isn't enough to bring me back to it once I've completed it. But gamer or not, the mid 40's style, and cinema like appeal to the game, you have to play this game. No doubt.
(Highly reccomend the strategy guide for gamers looking to get 100%, clues can be hard to find, believe me!)

You'll like it for a while
This is a fantastic wonderful game from Rockstar. I was hyped to get it and I'm glad I pre ordered it. I recently beat the campaign and it was awesome. After beating however I found that hey there's no reason for me to stay and keep playing. I'm still playing through the police missions but after I get the achievements I want I'll be trading it in. Why? No multiplayer. Nothing for me to do with my friends in it really. I'm waiting for GTA V.

Wow
I am absolutely blown away. Rockstar games have always delivered, and this is setting a new standard for them. LA Noir is honestly one of the most challenging, fun and intense game I have played in a while. Its beautiful, the facial software they used is intense and shockingly good. The whole figuring out cases by looking for clues and asking questions is just well done. I have played at least 4 hours and i have barely scratched the surface of this game. Buy it, crack down and play it. You will not be dissapointed by this addition to the Rockstar name.

Rockstar Always Delivers, But Will This?
So far LA Noire has had a awful lot of hype built up around it. I can easily see why that is.
Rockstar for the past few years has always brought out games that deliver. Those games have always had a great story line and lots of extra/bonus material that came along with it to keep you busy after you're finished playing the story.
Seeing that Rockstar seems to never let you down, Im sure that LA Noire will keep you busy for hours on end, whether it be from finding all the clues to a case, or achieving that 100% mark, LA Noire will be time consuming and a hit.
I recommend getting the strategy guide with the game so that when you're going through cases you can be certain that you don't miss anything! Or if you're that person that likes to go back for 100% this will make it just that easier for you.

Looks good
I can't wait to get this game. Three more days to go and I have a four day weekend to play this. I hope this is not a let down like most games this year so far. The tech used for this game looks really good with the face capture thing but I think this is the first game by Rockstar where you are a cop and not a crook. This will have to do until Duke Nukem Forever. Too many games this year. Too bad I am only 16, wish EB didn't care but they do oh well I guess I will have to get my grandparents to pick games up for me until two years from now.

Question
I pre-ordered my copy way back in late February. Now either I forgot or was to excited to notice it saying bonus, so I guess now im just paranoid about not getting the bonus case and badge pursuit. does anyone know if they added the pre-order bonus later on, like after february. cuz i really hope I get it, im so jacked for this game, Ive wanted to have a police game for a long time. anyways thanks. Also will it arrive May 17th in Canada too for pre-ordered versions. thanks
