L.A. Noire Gameplay Walkthrough ''TRAILER'' 2011

The gameplay of L.A. Noire is similar to that of other crime-based adventure and third-person action games. However, the roles are reversed. You play as Cole Phelps, a US Marine returning from World War II, solving crimes as a policeman in Los Angeles. By finishing cases, Phelps rises through the ranks of the LAPD, from a regular patrol officer all the way to a widely respected Vice detective.

Supplementary modes of play include driving, shooting and hand-to-hand combat, but the bulk of the game is comprised of investigation, which can require combing through crime scenes, following leads, solving puzzles or tailing suspects, and the signature interrogation mechanic, for which the game's proprietary MotionScan facial animation technology was developed, which allows the player to read each character's exact expressions when attempting to deduce the veracity of their statements.

The main story campaign is largely linear and mission-based, but the open world every chapter takes place in can be freely explored at almost any time, with various collectibles and side missions scattered throughout; for these, the game additionally includes a free-roam mode, The Streets of L.A., which has no mandatory objectives to follow.
Following the end of World War II, Cole Phelps (Aaron Staton), a USMC Pacific Campaign veteran who was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery during the battle for Sugar Loaf Hill, returns to Los Angeles, California to live with his family while taking on work as a patrol officer of the LAPD. In 1947, working with his partner Ralph Dunn (Rodney Scott), Phelps successfully and almost singlehandedly solves a murder case, impressing the captain of the Homicide department, James Donnelly (Andrew Connelly), who helps promote him to detective.

Working alongside Stefan Bekowsky (Sean McGowan) in Traffic, and then Finbarr "Rusty" Galloway (Michael McGrady) in Homicide, Phelps earns a reputation for solving difficult and high-profile cases, which eventually lands him a promotion to Vice. Around this time, he begins falling for German lounge singer Elsa Lichtmann (Erika Heynatz), and eventually has an extramarital affair with her.
