L.A. Noire takes place in 1947, a time known for its music, clothing, and above all else, crime. In L.A. Noire, you play as Cole Phelps, an army veteran returning to the United States to settle down and find a new profession. Little does Cole know that when he decides that the life of an officer in Los Angeles is fit for him, the decision he makes will introduce all kinds of trouble from runaway husbands to being shot at on a daily basis. Cole takes this all in stride, however, relying on his heightened instinct from his experiences in war, which are shown as flashbacks periodically throughout the game. Overall, L.A. Noire is an intense adventure where you play the role of a detective going from Traffic to Arson, and everywhere in between, with twists and turns and where each choice introduces different reactions.
