I read blogs for a living

Good game, bit samey. You can see what Rockstar were aiming for and when they hit it it's perfect. The problem is that there's a lot of fluff in between the great moments. Cole (main character) is nowhere near as likeable as Nico from GTA IV.

Thirty odd hours without messing around. Having said that, messing around kind of breaks immersion in a game where you're a cop.

Length is around 2 seasons of a tv-show apparently. There are 21 cases, each taking 1-2 hours to solve. I assume later cases are harder than the starting ones. Love the game, though, and the USD $100 is not really the price, it's 500 NOK as the dollar is so cheap these days..

I read that there were problems running this game on some PS3 devices: http://www.pressfire.no/nyheter/PS3/3476/-Verken-L.A.-Noire-eller-3.61-oppdateringen-forrsaker-overoppheting

The review doesn't look all that good either: http://www.pressfire.no/anmeldelser/PS3/3480/L.A.-Noire

LOL, and VG rolls the dice to 6: http://www.vg.no/spill/artikkel.php?artid=10094039

Here in Brazil, console games cost roughly $120.00, and PC games cost roughly $50.00 (or less)

I don't know about the game, but the cars they used look pretty cool.

I'll be on that when someone comes up with a Jessica Fletcher mod for it.

Hey Kaz, present for ya.

I love this game, I think I'm on case 9 or 10 (with a '1-star' ranking on the last case I finished, but you can't expect a '5-star' ranking with over $50000 total damage done with your car and arresting the wrong guy ...)

Finished it on Monday, but still mopping up some of the less stellar performances on a few cases. Yeah, it's really good, but can't compete with Red Dead Redemption when it comes to Rockstar games. I should probably play Heavy Rain now, bought it and haven't played it yet.

I can't wait to play this game! Sadly I left my PS3 in Rio

Woo 100 EUR = expansive (as 2 Games)

It's a really good game. I've been holding off getting the game because I'm busy. I tend to buy one game at a time so I get more bang for my buck. I've played it a bit and am looking forward to getting the game for myself. They did an excellent job on the recreation of late 40's Los Angeles. It's cool seeing these period games.

But 500 NOK is about $93. That's the price. It's more or less equal in the UK and the Eurozone to the American price (if you add sales tax to the American price). Oleg rants all the time about the price of games up there. I'd just say forget it if I had to pay almost $100 for a game. I have a hard time forking over $60 for one here as most games simply aren't worth even that price.
