interesting review... doesn't spoil it for you but explains the good and bad of the game... slow and tedious, like real police work compared to all action:

Nice another early review here:
http://www.giantbomb.com/la-noire/61-21500/reviews/

Seems less GTA like and more missions based, not a bad thing from the sound of it, but I won't decide that until I play it for myself.

Another...the continuing theme of "it's not like GTA" in that you can't have a free for all an expect to advance. Which I didnt expect anyaway. Looks like a decent change of pace.

What that IGN review does say though is that it all becomes very samey after the 10th case or so and you know what to expect everytime.

To some degree that is the case with most Rockstar titles, even RDR, but I seem to enjoy them nonetheless... I'm looking forward to a new twist in this type of game, we'll know tomorrow.

I'm really torn between this title and Witcher 2. Decisions, decisions............

Metacritic has the xbox version at 92/100 after 23 reviews, not bad.

It might be difficult to find a copy, my three main sources for gaming goodness are closed due to the flood evacuation

Interesting sig Snapdad

Looking forward to heading out and picking up my copy I pre-purchased. I don't mind having a game that's might be more laid back. Heck I enjoy playing Hidden Object games.
