Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:\"\"<\/a> TTWO), and Team Bondi Pty. Ltd., are proud to announce that L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition is coming to the PlayStation\u00ae3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on November 15, 2011 in North America and November 18, 2011 internationally.<\/p>\n

Similar to its PC counterpart, L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition on consoles will feature all of the previously released downloadable content for L.A. Noire, including the \u201cNicholson Electroplating\u201d Arson case, \u201cReefer Madness\u201d Vice case, \u201cThe Consul\u2019s Car\u201d Traffic case, \u201cThe Naked City\u201d Vice case , \u201cA Slip of the Tongue\u201d Traffic case, The Badge Pursuit Challenge, and all weapons and outfits released to date.<\/p>\n

Developed by Team Bondi in conjunction with Rockstar Games, L.A. Noire is a crime thriller set in post-World War II Los Angeles. As Detective Cole Phelps, players must search for clues, interrogate suspects and chase down criminals to solve a series of cases inspired by real world incidents. As he rises through the ranks of the LAPD, Phelps comes face-to-face with the corrupt heart of Los Angeles: from fallen starlets to double-dealing police officers and the vast reaches of the criminal underworld \u2013 and finally, the darkness of his own personal demons.<\/p>\n

Utilizing a brand new type of facial capture technology called MotionScan, L.A. Noire breathes unprecedented life into character performances and was honored as an official selection of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.<\/p>\n

Critical reviews for L.A. Noire have been outstanding. Following is a short list of accolades:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u201cNo one makes the real world virtual like Rockstar\u2026We\u2019ve seen it with the Grand Theft Auto series, and we saw it with last year\u2019s Red Dead Redemption. Rockstar has turned out its most pointed, and poignant, statement with L.A. Noire.\u201d \u2013 Seth Schiesel, The New York Times (1)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u201cEver since it first worked out how to assemble pixels so that they resembled something more recognisable than aliens, the games industry has dreamed of creating one thing above all else \u2013 a game that is indistinguishable from a film, except that you can control the lead character. With L.A. Noire, it just might, finally, have found the embodiment of that particular holy grail.\u201d \u2013 The Guardian (2)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u201cL.A. Noire is not only something totally new for the modern gamer, it’s one of the first cerebral titles that will force people to rethink the potential of video games.\u201d \u2013 CNET (3)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u201cL.A. Noire is a testament to the possibility of bringing dark, adult, mature games to the mainstream market… truly mature, with the kind of narrative you’d only expect to see in a major TV drama series or crime movie. No game released this generation has tackled the subject matter found in L.A. Noire with the same degree of intelligence and respect, and no game has so seamlessly blended gameplay from various genres together so seamlessly, in a way that delivers something far more unique in experience than the sum of its parts.\u201d \u2013 Destructoid (4)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u201cAll the things I’ve only read about in Dashiell Hammett novels, or seen in film classics like Double Indemnity, have all come to interactive life in L.A. Noire\u2026 L.A. Noire had me more involved in its first thirty minutes than some other games do in their entirety.\u201d \u2013 1UP (5)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u201cL.A. Noire is a bold release, because it defies the expectations not just for the type of game Rockstar usually releases, but also for the type of game that receives this degree of care and proficiency in its execution.\u201d \u2013 Giant Bomb (6)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u201cL.A. Noire is a unique game with a terrific sense of period atmosphere, absorbing investigation mechanics, and a haunting tale with plenty of moments that would be right at home in a classic film noir.\u201d \u2013 GameSpot (7)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u201cL.A. Noire transcends genre and the expectations of what a game can be and casts a spell that I have yet to shake.\u201d \u2013 G4TV (8)<\/p>\n

L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition is rated M for Mature by the ESRB and will be available at retail for $49.99 \/ \u20ac49.99 \/ \u00a339.99.<\/p>\n
