Avis à la une
Set in Los Angeles in 1947, the story centers on LAPD police officer Cole Phelps played by Aaron Stanton (Mad Men), a former US Marine Lieutenant who served in World War II in the pacific. Cole Phelps starts out as a patrol officer and throughout the game you see his career rise in the LAPD through various assignments with Traffic, Homicide, Vice and Arson. Cole Phelps is also assigned various partners throughout the game including Officer Ralph Dunn (Rodney Scott) in patrol, Detective Stefan Bekowsky (Sean McGowan) in Traffic, Detective Rusty Galloway (Michael McGrady, Southland) in Homicide, Detective Roy Earle (Adam John Harrington) in Vice, and Detective Herschel Biggs (Keith Szarabajka, The Dark Knight) in Arson. Cole Phelps manages to catch the eye of Captain James Donnelly (James Connelly) as a rising star in the LAPD and promises to keep a close eye on Phelps. Phelps also finds himself caught up with German lounge singer Elsa Lichtmann (Australian model Erika Heynatz) and butts heads with former US Marine comrade Jack Kelso (Gil McKinney) who is working as claims investigator for California Fire and Life following the death of a former marine Phelps and Kelso served with during World War II.
L.A. Noire is very addictive gaming at its best and you can't help but feel you are being thrust into the world of a post World War II Los Angeles. L.A. Noire reminded me a lot of L.A. Confidential.
I wish there were more games like L.A. Noire however like this game it may take a number of years before a game similar to this will be released. Definitely one of the best games I have played in years.
10/10.
The only reason i did not gave "L.A. Noire" (2011) a perfect 10/10 is the fact that i played it and finished it a 100% for the first time in 2020, nearly 10 years after its initial release - and games unlike movies do age. I played remastered version.
Games like this do not come out anymore. "L.A. Noire" has more in common with a great movie "L.A. Confidential" then any other game i have ever played. It has superb story, amazing writing and compelling characters, with great acing by many actors. Music was great, and game does look great when playing it on PS4 pro 4K - its just that open world feels empty and repetitive. But those are minor complain. Other then that, this is a fantastic game, very unique one.

- AnecdotesMany of the cases of the game are representations of real-life crimes which occurred during 1940s Los Angeles, these include:
- "The Driver's Seat" case which is loosely based on the real-life 1947 disappearance of Eugene White.
- "A Marriage Made in Heaven" case was inspired by the true story surrounding the death of Jay Dee Chitwood in 1944. It may also be inspired by the movie Assurance sur la mort (1944) where the two protagonists intend to kill off the female lead's spouse to claim the insurance money.
- "The Red Lipstick Murder" case is highly influenced by the murder of Jeanne French. Jeanne French was a 45-year-old army nurse who was discovered stripped and stomped to death early in the morning in February 1947. The case was never officially solved, but was supposedly linked to the infamous "Black Dahlia" murder because the initials "B.D." were written with lipstick on French's dead body and the murder took place just weeks after the murder of Elizabeth Short (Black Dahlia), which also took place in 1947 Los Angeles.
- "The Golden Butterfly" case is heavily based on the real life murder of Dorothy Montgomery on May 3, 1947 in Los Angeles. Dorothy was mutilated which is why authorities first thought there was a connection to Elizabeth Short's murder. A Golden Butterfly Brooch was found near her body which was hers and had been torn from her blouse.
- "The Silk Stocking Murder" is loosely based on the real 1947 murder of Rosenda Mondragon.
- "The White Shoe Slaying" case is loosely based on the real-life 1947 murder of Laura Trelstad.
- "The Studio Secretary Murder" case is loosely based on the real-life 1947 murder of Evelyn Winters.
- GaffesIn the flashbacks, Jack Kelso is seen addressing his fellow Marines as "soldiers," which is something a US Marine would never ever do.

Cole Phelps: What have you got?
Patrolman James Mitchell: Looks like a drug overdose.
Roy Earle: Get away from him, Phelps. This is my case.
Cole Phelps: Shut your fucking mouth. Since when does a bag man work a case?
Roy Earle: I knew this creep was in on the morphine heist. A victim of his own product.
[Phelps removes his gun and points it at Earle]
Patrolman James Mitchell: Hey, Detective? Can we back it off a notch? This is getting out of hand!
Herschel Biggs: There's a time to talk and a time to shut up. Now is the time to be quiet, son.
Cole Phelps: Courtney Sheldon was a corpsman, Roy. He served his country. He went out with a medical kit and an Army .45 and into places that made the Valley of Death look like a picnic. He was either naïve enough or dumb enough to get involved in the Suburban Development Fund along with the mayor, the DA, Monroe, and a certain crooked cop. He was involved in the morphine heist, but he has a puncture wound in his jugular, which makes this a murder case. He was a better man than you'll ever know. You say one more word about him and I will BLOW YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!
Roy Earle: You've finally lost it, partner.
Cole Phelps: I have a pretty good idea why Sheldon is dead, and I know about Monroe. Your vast corrupt future is draining away as we speak.
Roy Earle: I got better things to do than to argue the rub with you.
Cole Phelps: Stay with him until the coroner gets here. Make sure Technical Services bags the evidence. If you let this creep anywhere near it, I'll come looking for you.
Patrolman James Mitchell: Yes, sir.
Herschel Biggs: You know, Phelps - you're not the worst asshole going round.
Cole Phelps: Thanks, Herschel.
- Versions alternativesThere were several changes in the remastered versions for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, such as:
- The questioning options were changed to "Good Cop", "Bad Cop" and "Accuse" instead of "Truth", "Doubt" and "Lie" from the original.
- The PS4 and Xbox One versions also got some texture enhancements on the characters, environment and the subtitles. The skyboxes were also changed in several areas. Switch didn't get these changes, being more similar to 360/PS3/PC.

- A photo mode was added.
