As the game progresses, we are assigned four different departments: Traffic, Homicide, Arson and Vice, each with an average of 5 cases to solve. Set in a corrupt LA in 1947, we are thrust into the shoes of Cole Phelps, a returning veteran from the war in the Pacific as he steps into the boots of a police officer and trades one enemy for another. I never actually got the chance to play the game when it was first released, so I was genuinely looking forward to reviewing it for Cultured Vultures.

These days, we have Telltale et al, who have really raised the bar of storytelling in games, but I can remember working in a game shop at the time, and everybody was raving about it. When L.A Noire was first released back in 2011, it was very well received by the gaming community, with some going as far as saying that the game really did take storytelling to the next level. LA Noire is one of the many games that have seen a fresh lick of paint recently, having been remastered and re-released onto the PS4 and Xbox One, as well as the Switch. Developer(s): Team Bondi (original game), Rockstar Publisher: Rockstar Games Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, Switch
