L.A. Noire killer 40`s murder mystery is point and click gaming Jazz for the Rockstar generation

The gaming world is gearing up to solve mysteries , interrogate suspects by judging changes and subtle  nuances in the incredibly detailed character models of Rockstar`s L.A Noire. The sort of detail that 1990s games achieved with something we used to refer to as FMV , though admittedly it was a little harder to to judge what exactly a Kilrathi`s eyebrows being raised signified ...


get your dose of LA Noire at Zavvi , or Game in the UK or Search Amazon.com for la noire in the USA 


The noire / mystery genre  has been tackled before , although you have to look long and hard into gaming history to find a great example , on the PC the finest stab is actually scifi based with Westwood`s Bladerunner with over 70 characters all boasting life and game altering A.I.  Of course you could go back to the dawn of gaming and Melbourne Houses Sherlock Holmes games  , again with amazing life changing AI for characters that you subtly interrogate using Watson impressing logic ....and Inglish


And there you have it all "detective" games claim to have earth shattering AI that makes you feel like a real sleuth. 


But most fall into the classic adventure game design trap of multiple choice guessing and trying to connect completely unconnected objects together and use them on something at another location.


So does Rockstars LA Noire do things any better , or is it just a point and click adventure with awesome facial capture, and a gimped sandbox game environment  ,we the public will find out presently .  The press are loving it ..


Now if someone could take the innovative non linear AI of Westwood`s Bladerunner , and the non linear game design of the old Sherlock Holmes Melbourne House classic and transplant these  into the gaming tech that Rockstar have , well then,  we may even have a game to  raise an eyebrow or two on  Major Shepard`s multiple choice-ing  cgi face...


At the very least with LA Noire  we are all about to get a dose of authentic Jazz , and I mean minus British ex comedians who play well known USA doctors doing cover versions ...Bl`Adder ..indeed
