There's a lot to like about LA Noire. The recreation of 1940s Los Angeles is really cool, the cases are written well, and you really get to engage in the detective work of being a police officer. I really enjoyed the first half of the game, but the second half slowly deflated and I started to lose interest in the game in a number of places. (Spoilers ahead) The most interesting part of the game, not surprisingly, is the Homicide desk, which ends at the halfway point of the game. After this point, I didn't really find any of the actual crimes very interesting, and I think the developers knew it as the number of conspiracies and gunfights dramatically increase from here on out. I'm pretty sure you shoot more people in one case of Vice than you do in all of Homicide. Even Homicide isn't innocent though, it turns out that (again spoilers) all of the cases are connected and caused by the same serial killer. I get the appeal, but it ends up that all of these cases have exactly the same type of victim - middle aged washed up drunk women who hate their husbands and get killed coming home from a bar. This means you spend every case going to visit their shitty husbands and visiting the shitty bars and following the same steps. Even so, I very much liked Homicide the best, as it felt like it had the best cases and arc. Though your partners continue to tell you "no way man, you've been doing this for like 3 days, you know how crazy it would be if literally every case you ever did was connected?", it turns out no, he's right, every single case you do is in fact connected. The part that really lost me was your character's "fall from grace", which came out of nowhere. They really just needed something to make you look like a piece of shit, but it didn't fit with your character... at the time. Even though you're a goody two-shoes for the first 75% of the game, suddenly you're an adulterous, angry war criminal by the end. It didn't do anything for me at all. Also, my PS4 crashed and corrupted my save so I had to finish it on PC, so that'll bump it down a few grade levels.
