"eveloped by Team Bondi in conjunction with Rockstar, L.A. Noire is a dark and violent detective thriller set against the backdrop of Los Angeles in the post-war years of the late 1940s, the most corrupt and violent period in the city’s history.

Based on some truly groundbreaking technology, the game goes beyond traditional performance capture methods to render the subtleties and nuances of every actor’s facial expressions and emotions. L.A. Noire is the first game to really explore what it means to be a detective, and offers players the opportunity to solve crimes blending classic action, investigation and interrogation, in the endless pursuit of what’s right.

The debut trailer shows off the character animations to great effect and we’re particularly enjoying the dramatic sound effects. Expect L.A Noire in Spring 2011 following on from the huge success of this year’s Red Dead Redemption. It’s already looking like Rockstar have another big year ahead, and that’s before a fifth Grand Theft Auto has even been announced." - The Independent
