Anyone want this game but hesitant about purchasing it? Doesn't feel like a $60 game. Maybe because rockstar games drop in retail after a few months.

All games nowadays lose value quickly. I don't remember RDR dropping that quickly last year until after the RDR: Undead Nightmare DLC released on disc later around October or November.

There is no multi player for this game.

Honestly I don't see how they would be able to implement it for this type of game.

It's the other way around. Rockstar games are the few that are worth $60... It's just that people are so used to being ripped off. $60 for a a multiplayer game like CoD which you can master in a 1 month because it isn't deep at all. Then you spend $15 for 5 maps?! $5 for a character in a fighting game?!?
I spent 90 hours playing RDR. Single player mostly. Best $60 I ever spent in a videogame in a long time. Never was bored once. Actually got a GOOD STORY, EXCELLENT VOICE ACTING, Engaging characters, side missions that added to the lore of the game... oh yeah and the gameplay was top-notch...duh. Maybe I'm just  a old school gamer but a video game is all about the single player experience and single player games that ARE GOOD are extremely rare now.

OXM Review is up.
They have a review of L.A Noire. Pro's, and cons first. Will try to post scans later (if allowed)

+Very meaty, very lengthy (took them about 30 hours to finish the main story, and took them around 40ish to complete everything)

+Very cinematic, takes many cues from LA Confidential they said. Also according to the reviewer "A game that bridges cinema and the gaming universe."

+Motion Scan is the highlight for them, and the feeling of actually being a detective. They said no game comes close to the experience that they had with L.A Noire. 

+Great Narrative. In there opinion they said it has the dramatic, and cinematic storytelling of Heavy Rain, with the complexity of Metal Gear Solid, mixed with the length of Red Dead Redemption (but longer). 

+Excellent pacing. At first you start somewhat slow, but you quickly rise within the ranks. Once you finish the 30 hour epic you become attatched with the world, the characters, the cases. Not many games have done that for him (said the reviewer).

-Gameplay is a bit clunky. If your fan of Red Dead, or GTA IV then the gameplay of LA Noire won't feel out of place. That said, they were hoping for some advancement in this aspect.



Overall Score: 10/10

Closing comments;

"If you were expecting L.A Noire to be a reskinned GTA then you will be left severely disappointed. Many times we hear, "Who will be gaming's Citizen Kane?". Personally, I don't have the gall to say L.A Noire is that type of game. [color= rgb(51, 51, 51)]But it is a game that will revolutionize the gaming industry as we know it. Never in my 20 year history of gaming have I encountered a game with as much finesse, intelligence, and attention to detail as L.A Noire, and for that I applaud [/color]L.A Noire. A game which has the nerve to do so much, in an industry where a seldom few are."
