Releasing all the way back in May 2011, L.A. Noire was far from a perfect game, but it managed to make a lasting impression on many fans. A true graphical showcase for its time, L.A. Noire put its cutting-edge motion-capture technology front and center of the entire experience, and while it's mocked relentlessly nowadays, it was very impressive back in 2011, albeit still a little too uncanny. And then, there's L.A. Noire's gameplay. Though limited in its player-freedom, L.A. Noire presented players with a wealth of mysteries to solve and a handful of shootouts to blast their way through, pairing nicely with the game's stellar presentation.
