LA NOIRE - Video Game Review
GRADE: C 
Rockstar Games knows how to stand out from the crowd within the video game industry. From the complexly presented open worlds in the Grand Theft Auto series, to the enriched gameplay and story of Red Dead Redemption, the company undoubtedly breaks the mold of development with every game it releases and publishes.
Continuing that ambition, Team Bondi, in conjunction with Rockstar Games, have added a new entry to Rockstar’s eclectic catalog with LA Noire. The game takes place in 1940s Los Angeles, where it draws aesthetic and stylistic elements from the film noir genre ofthe same era. Drawing from Rockstar’s previous games, the open-world aspect of the game is the most detailed I have seen in any game. There is an ambiguous presence within this virtual city, and it is able to contrast and blend in with the game’s heavy emphasis on the tense underworld of Los Angeles. Players take the role of detective Cole Phelps, a former WW2 war hero and a new LAPD detective. The game follows Phelps as he rises through the ranks of the department. Investigating murders that eventually tie-in to the real Black Dahlia murders, Phelps tries to restore order to the violent streets of Los Angeles.
