We leaked the GameInformer score onto the internet a few days ago, now a whole host of L.A. Noire reviews have gone live. What’s the verdict, you ask? According to all the sites, the game’s all kinds of awesome.
Here’s Destructoid’s closing remarks:
“L.A. Noire is a testament to the possibility of bringing dark, adult, mature games to the mainstream market. When I say mature, I don’t just mean that it throws in sex and violence under the pretense of being for grown-ups. It is truly mature, with the kind of narrative you’d only expect to see in a major TV drama series or crime movie. No game released this generation has tackled the subject matter found in L.A. Noire with the same degree of intelligence and respect, and no game has so seamlessly blended gameplay from various genres together so seamlessly, in a way that delivers something far more unique in experience than the sum of its parts.
Add that sense of uniqueness and intelligence to the fact that L.A. Noire is a terrific bloody videogame, and you have what is guaranteed to be a classic for years to come. True maturity and narrative depth in mainstream gaming begins right here.”
