Rockstar Games have released another blockbuster game on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. L.A. Noire takes the top of the charts all over the world.
Here’s the full commercial showing the epic storytelling.
40 Street Crimes are in LA Noire and this guide will help you find all locations for each of them. L.A. Noire allows you to engage in a street crime as you are driving back from a case or to one, and involve random skirmishes with criminals, gun battles, police chases, bank robberies and more.
The greater your rank the less you will engage in Street Crimes and some Street Crimes will lead into events. If you miss a Street Crime you can go back and replay through the game on your second playthrough to find any that you may have missed.
If you complete all of the Street Crimes you will earn the following three Achievements/Trophies on Xbox 360 or PS3 (respectively).
1. The Long Arm of the Law (30G Achievement/Silver Trophy) – Complete all street crime cases. 2. Johnny On the Spot (30G Achievement/Silver Trophy) – Respond to 20 street crime cases. 3. A Cop On Every Corner (15G Achievement/Bronze Trophy) – Complete a single street crime case.
This LA Noire The Badge Pursuit Challenge locations guide will help you find all 20 Police Badges AKA Shields. These collectible items are hidden throughout L.A. Noire’s beautiful and incredibly accurate recreation of Los Angeles circa 1947.
This challenge however is only available via pre-order of the game from GameStop or EB Games in the United States, Canada and Australia or in the United Kingdom from Game. Hopefully it will be made available to others as paid downloadable content later on.
Over 300 LA Noire characters will grace the scene for your viewing pleasure in Rockstar’s L.A. Noire, a unique action adventure title that combines detective and police stables with breakthrough image technology and a script worthy of the big screen.
Here is a partial list of some of the important folks you will run across in L.A. Noire.
Main Character – LAPD
* Cole Phelps (Main Protagonist)
Cole Phelps is the main character in the game and a Patrol Officer/Detective. He has a wide range of life experience as well as mystery with parts of his past, or at least the specifics, unknown. To be blunt, Cole did things that he is “not proud of” when he fought in the Battle of Okinawa during the Pacific War against the Japanese during World War II as a United States Marine. He joined up at the age of 18 and won a Silver Star for Valor in the face of the enemy (the third highest U.S. military honor). He was subsequently given an honorary discharge from the Marine Corps following the end of the war. Once he returned stateside he joined up with the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department). Because of his smarts, toughness, skills and determination, he quickly rose through the ranks of the police department to become a Detective. During his time he came to discover that the city he loved, L.A., was full of crime and corruption. Believing that Justice must be given by someone, he took up that mantel to defend his city and return it to peace and prosperity. He is a very talented investigator, and that is what lead him to his promotion as Detective. There he worked on some of the most notorious cases under the Homicide, Vice, Traffic and Arson areas. His detective work would eventually lead him to discover how close many of his colleagues and superiors are to the criminal underworld they’ve sworn to fight. Other factoids include the fact that he is married, and that he can’t swim. There is a possible romantic relationship brewing with Elsa Lichtmann.
Our LA Noire Achievements & Trophies guide lists every Achievement & Trophy for this Xbox 360 and PS3 detective adventure and tells you how to get them.
L.A. Noire is a unique action adventure game that focuses on storytelling, characterization, interrogation and good old classic search and pry as you lead Detective Phelps to solve some of the most notorious crimes from the 1940s, some of which are based on real police cases!
