In case it wasn't clear since my Grand Theft Auto reviews, I am much more interesting in when Rockstar does something other than GTA games. I find that stuff to be way more fun. And the first of many (Okay, three) to appear on this list is the murder mystery classic, L.A. Noire-
*Blowing Whistle* Stop right there! I’m taking over this review!
Several years ago I found this Rockstar game.. LA NOIRE. Now, when I first got this game, I was fresh of GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption.. I was introduced to GTA by the 4th, never played the others. But obviously we aren't here to talk about that. So anyway, after seeing the R for Rockstar my mind went "cool another GTA like game".. If you go into the mindset I had, for obvious reasons you will "hate" this game. I just wanted to shoot things.
After some time I started watchin Law and Order SUV, I know, not great. But I liked some of the actors. Anyway, with a new respect for crime drama I went back to LA NOIRE.. You know what. This game is amazing. The controls are pretty basic. You look around crime scenes. Every time it rumbles, or you hear a music note, it means you hear a note.. Careful, it dose this for just about anything. First timers will likely be there forever, unless you know what your looking for. And you can do interrogations. Which are explained in the prologue missions.
If you want to shoot things like I did. Don't worry, there's plenty of moments. Espically in the Vice Desk. And you can do street crimes, random events unrelated to the story. A lot of them involve gun fights. You listen to the police radio, and drive the stickfigures on the map.. There's also fst fights that you get involved in sometimes.. Or foot chases, which I like more than car chases. Kinda hate those, they usually take forever for me.
The story takes place in 1940. You play as Cole Phelps until the last three missions where you play Jack Kelso.
I know WindWaker doesn't like Cole. But I do.. Even when (spoiler) cheats on his wife, I guess I was more forgiving than Wind, as I know it was possibly something involving his PTSD..
So Cole was a WW2 Lieutenant but a bad one. He got people killed.. And the thing is, Cole is painfully aware of this. So he joins the LAPD to redeem himself, in trying to save lives. What I like about Cole is that, least in "my" opinion, this is the only selfish thing he does. Cole cares less about the fame that he gets from solving so many cases, he really does just want to help people. This makes him come cross as "the only sane one" considering most of our partners.. Espically Roy Earle. Who I promise your hate by the end of the game.
In conclusion, yeah, as far as dark, serious, crime games go. This is the best one I know... Than again, it's the "only" one I know.. Welll, unless you count that Facebook app, Criminal Case..
#1:SULLIVAN:
As you already know.
I kinda stopped playing for a bit, Sullivan is why.
Not to mention. I was shocked the first time. I was starting to like Sullivan..
#2: CHEF ANTOINE:
I think we covered this one :)
#3: BACHMAYER:
Near the end of the 3rd game, Max Payne fights this guy.
It's hard to explain, why it's so hard, just have to see it yourself..
#4: BECKER:
Last boss of Max Payne 3.
And really holds the "last boss" feeling.
In a negative way..
#5: WESKER:
The main villain of Resident evil 5. And final boss..
#6: CEASER:
The final boss of Assasins Creed 3..

What in the name of god. They are already ready remaking Grand Theft Auto 5.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love Grand Theft Auto 5. I think it is one of the funnest games I have played in 2013. But, seriously, it's only one year old, and already they are remaking it for Playstation 4 and XBox One. Seriously, you should at least give a game some time to age before you remake it. Look at Ocarina of Time, a game which people said is the greatest game ever, which was made back in 1999. The remake for the 3DS wasn't made until 2012, which is years later. Honestly, they are already remaking GTA 5. Sure, the graphics are better, but the thing is that the graphics were amazing to begin with. Why are you remaking this game so early, Rockstar. But, hey, that's only my opinion. What's Your Take
