Overall i think the game was a huge missed opportunity. Seeing that guy's house with all those origami cranes hanging up gave it a real se7en vibe which would have been brilliant if they'd carried it through the whole story. As it was, you just had half the game featuring strangled women, then a few fires before an insurance scam. Still, when it was good it was great, and i want to mop up all the trophies (which i don't bother doing if i dont like a game) so it must be doing something right.

The game featured several over-arching plots, and I felt that having lots of little cases and a couple of big ones, followed by some more little ones and that final investigation, was pretty good. It felt more 'real' by being like that than by being all Se7eny.

The game subtitle the main conversations but are people talking about Phelps as he walks pass them in the stations or buildings?

Yep, you're now called a banana split by everyone everywhere you go. Nice reward for you

ok

finished it all bar electroplating nicholson
A really good game that kept the realism factor evenly on the floor rather being over-ambitious!

LA Noire 2 or the sequel could be really good if a few things are ironed out. Doesn't even have to be in LA.

I didn't know that! My best mate left sound on my HDTV to rather high (he was using it for music on PS3 Youtube) and I was playing LA Noire all through from start to end with sounds on. Poor woman downstairs, hearing that word over and over again...

FOr anyone wanting to mop up the collectibles after the story, i highly reccomend the rockstar social club! Its got an interactive map that shows you locations/film reels etc. Normally i'd call that cheating, but with the film reels, despite using an officla map, with a detailed description, it STILL took me 15mins to find one of them

Whoever put those film reels in the game, then made them so hard to spot needs to be taken out and shot.

Still, i think i'm at 94% completion now. Going to get the 40 odd reels i have left tonight, then 5* the cases over the next week or so.

Then my body will be ready for Skyrim

Thanks for that. I have just 4 cases to 5* then it time for the collectibles. I was at a location for a hidden car but could I find it? Could I strawberry float!!

I was lucky that i'd found all but 4 of the cars throughout the game, so it only took about half an hour to get the rest. I've heard horror stories of people still needing 30 cars by the end of it.

I have 55 to get

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitt

Well, erm, good luck!

50 more miles to drive and I've 'finished'

Dunno if I can be bothered though, it took me about an hour to notch up 30 miles along the river yesterday

Erm why were you driving at 30mph ?

Because the best top speed is around 86MPH, the river runs about 4 miles and driving 4 miles in a straight line is really strawberry floating boring.

Who said achievements ruined games?

Dude there a hidden car that does 130mph.

Probably why I'll never bother getting it. The driving isn't remotely fun in this

The fastest top speed in the game is around 86MPH from memory. It's the max cap.

It is only fifteen hidden cars will appear on the map and just going to the question marks. Try to find a garage with the blue logo on it then you will find a car inside.

The rest of the vehicles can be found any time, but a few of them will appear specifically in some cases.
