Bête noire

L.A. Noire
A failure on every possible level. I would go into detail dismantling this game but Tom Bissell, whose Extra Lives is worth a read, already landed the ultimate coup de grâce: "I wondered if the single most damning thing about video games is the fact that one could argue, legitimately, that 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is a better game than L.A. Noire."

Grade: D
