GamersNET It took a while, but the PC version of LA Noire has undoubtedly been worth the wait.

IGN Noticeably repetitive gameplay moments aside, L.A. Noire offers a different and delightful take on the open-world formula that Rockstar’s refined over the years.

The awesome performances and great facial capture make every interrogation and investigation a riveting affair. The PC version may arrive a few months late to the party, but it’s still great, with more cases and potentially better visuals than console players ever got for their $60. Read Full Review	85/100
BeefJack The technical issues that have plagued previous Rockstar’s PC ports before are nowhere to be seen: it’s a solid version and something you should definitely consider if you missed it on consoles. What we have is a frustrating, yet equally compelling game. L.A. Noire cannot be faulted for its strong ambition, but it does shoot itself in the foot from time to time Read Full Review	81/100
Brash Games Overall, LA Noire is strong, enjoyable and intelligent and does a fantastic job of blending multiple elements into a unique and engaging package.

For players seeking challenging gameplay, this may not be the best title, but for those interested in clever and detailed storytelling it would be a crime to miss this top cop tale.
