Watching that reminds me of my biggest beef with the game. The fact that they do not use gloves while handling evidence. I work in security and study criminology and the lack of care at the crime scenes bug the hell out of me. I know it is set a long time ago but they used gloves back then.

Bad oversight on the game developers part.

They had gloves but hardly used them...It was like going to a deli in NYC, you would be hard pressed to find one that actually uses gloves when they cut your meat.
 
The bare-hands thing stopped bothering me after the first hour.

Anyway, I'm pretty close to the end now. Well, since Friday. I haven't been able to play since then. I think I'll finish it up this evening. I gotta say, I thought the Homicide desk was probably the worst of the entire game. Tediously long and repetitive, and to top it all off the final denouement was abrupt.
 
Okay, I'm finally done. I might go back to perfect some of the cases that I failed to achieve a 5-star ranking, but I have no interest in finding the film reels or hidden cars.

Overall, I feel pretty good about the experience. I respect what Team Bondi and Rockstar attempted to achieve and while they failed to fulfill some (realistic) expectations I'd consider L.A. Noire a worthwhile journey.

I wanted to write a lengthy review, but I'm tired. Might share some more thoughts later (I'm still deciding whether or not I liked the ending).

8/10
 
I noticed something while playing this the other day. While approaching an intersection where I have the green light, I notice that traffic is moving from left to right through the intersection. So essentially those cars are all running a red light. I thought it may have been a fluke or that maybe the light had just turned but I notice it EVERYWHERE while driving at high speeds though intersections.

It wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't get frequently T-boned while driving through a green light I clearly have.
 
Just bought the pack! :rock

I need 11 more cars but i hate looking for them. :(
 
I'll get the pass. Still gotta find all the cars and film reels. Right now just replaying cases to get 5 stars.
 
I've got like 80 of the cars, 21/30 landmarks, and 32/50 film reels. I did all of the street crimes, now I need to finish these and then go back for my 5/5's
 
Just finished the main storyline. Great game and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but didn't care for the ending. The cases got a little repetitive, but still fun and entertaining. I also encountered a couple of glitches, but nothing too severe to take away from the experience. Overall, a great and unique game, but like I said, didn't care for the ending. Now, time to go back and get some more trophies. :D
 
I just got 100% and i've really enjoyed this one! Now on to the new download cases. :rock
 
I gotta say, this game is great!

Rockstar Games win again.

Each case kept me interested and wanting more and the cases are not too long nor too short.

Just found all the Hidden Vehicles and the Ford H Boy looks kinda cool for a mini looking hot rod.

Now I have to go through and find the rest of the cars / Historical Land Marks, finish the Street Crimes and re do the first few cases to get a better ranking.
