L.A. Noire is a crime video game developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. The game is set in Los Angeles in 1947, a city of glamour, fame, and wealth, but also where crime, vice, and corruption are rife, and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detective, to solve a range of cases across five crime desks. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the players' success at these activities will impact how much of the cases' stories are revealed.
