First L.A. Noire Reviews Arrive

Rockstar's latest video game is already going down well with critics: detective thriller LA Noire has averaged a high score of 90% from dozens of reviews, and the praise just keeps flooding in for Team Bondi's stunning new MotionScan technology. Here are just a few opinions on what might well have proven to be one of the best games of this half of 2011:
IGN (8.5/10): "I struggle with LA Noire, because at times I love it, yet it has some notable flaws- amazing pieces don't quite amount to an incredible game. That said, no one's ever played a game like this before and I doubt anyone will again for quite some time!"
GAMESPOT (9/10): "LA Noire's absorbing investigations and intoxicating sense of style make it an unforgettable journey through the seamy side of the City of Angels."
CVG (8.9/10): "More Heavy Rain than GTA, a brilliantly realised world with excellent voice-acting, good driving sections, solid story-telling and the MotionScan face tech is a revolution."
X360 MAGAZINE (9/10): "A fantastic adventure that'll keep you guessing to the end- buy it, expel GTA from your mind and get involved in one of the best video gaming experiences of the year."
LA Noire is out now on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, and hopefully I should have a review up in the next few weeks.
