Random fun fact: The cars in this game are modeled after the cars in Jay Leno's car collection. He actually gave Team Bondi full access to his collection.

Went to college at Stanford, did two years ROTC before Marine OCS at Camp Elliot. Shipped out in early '45 as First Lieutenant and fought in the Okinawa campaign. I was wounded and shipped back home. Did a year on the beat and now I'm here." Wow Cole, you sure know how to drag on a conversation, and while running over somebody's crotch.
If he told you that story _without_ recklessly ramming into L.A.'s infrastructure and needlessly disfiguring its pedestrians for life it would've been a total snoozefest though..
For a moment there I wasn't sure if I was watching L.A. Noire or a recent re-imagining of Carmageddon! If nothing else, it cheered me up, and I thank you for that! :)
They really should make more games like this. I really liked playing this game...it has a little bit of everything....shooting, driving, drama, investigation, fighting, chasing. I wonder if they would make a sequel to this game except taking place in the 50s/60s this time.
Having played this game AND GTA, I must say that I'm used to this 'style' of driving and mayhem in GTA, but not in L.A. Noire. Seeing Cole Phelps just got batsh!t crazy on the town, hit-and-running his partner, and just going "Sorry!" as he brutally runs over citizens with his car of choice makes me laugh. I expect Niko to do that, but not Cole. XD
The graphics and small touches there are amazing! Like when he backs the car, he actually looks backwards. And the lips aren't just moving randomly like a puppet as they talk, but you can actually read their lips. This is amazing! =O I've never even heard of this game before, not being a big gamer and all. Is there a PC version? Is it just as good?
It was pretty sweet watching this review. I have always wanted the game (living in LA + loving period games such as this) and now I'm assured I'll like it. And I'm also a fan of Mad Men, so that's awesome. Your videos are also great.
Mad Men, woooo! Haven't tried this game yet, but it was fun watching Cole Phelps/Ken Cosgrove run around. Laughed at the description of the Black house as being "delightfully creepy" - reminded me of something you'd hear on old MST3K episodes. :D I agree that there should be more period games. With awesome cars!
I hadn't watched any gameplay videos of this yet, because I didn't care to watch anyone play it until you. It looks more fun than I expected. The facial animations are amazing, but the body animations still look a little "uncanny valley"-ish.
You making this game into something that it shouldn't be, making it look like carmageddon or gta, which is awesome, and makes the game more interesting!!! I did not know that this game allows you to play like that. P.S. I love all of your videos, and especially game-plays like this one! Your comments always make me laugh!! :)
"There's blood all over the inside of the car." Ya'sure you didn't hit that guy earlier LGR--err...I mean, PHELPS? ;) "I work 'fer the railroad." No shite. Never would've guessed! lol :D
This game looks very interesting, thanks for the video! Your drving was amusing and I loved at the beginning when he asked "Can't we make it there in one piece?" and you answered "Nope! 3 or 4 pieces, minimum."
Never played in black and white mode but after watching a few youtube videos of L.A. in the fourties I must say it does fit the game a lot more than in color! Awesome gameplay by the way xD
If you're from L.A. like me, you really give a good deal of extra apprecitation for the historical reconstruction showing what places looked like "back in the day."
1) Wow phreakindee, what do you have against Insuance Companies. 2) They won't need a detective to solve your road rampage murders 3) You should try Mafia 2 if you haven't already. It goes through 3 decades of cars. You get to somewhat appreciate the massive evolution in design and power. The seasons change too, you get snow at first and it reminded me of one of those old Christmas movies.
this era of cars is nice indeed...but the cars i really like are late 50's cars. i just find them so nice. even some of the british attempts at the style did really well i think, i like the vauxhall cresta old cars are just really nice
35:42 good ol' teletransportation! a rockstar's classic on the PC. I remember once, at the time GTA4 for the PC was just released, I was driving like a maniac and crashed into a huge truck. Instead of a standard collision, the truck just popped out of existence and my car started spinning at enourmous speed. Be it intentional or accidental, rockstars games always delivers a lot of fun.
I wish there would be a co-op. Just imagine: two detectives investigating same crime, conversating and sharing clues, working together! That would be amazing!
yeah keyboards are definitely better for fps games, except that some of the newer ones that have several other controls that i have to re configure and sometimes it still doesnt feel right, but in other ones it works so well i dont have to
The trouble I have with these games, and this is going back to GTIII on the PS2, is that I have so much fun causing mayhem that I never get around to finishing the missions.
Agreed on Mafia 2. Another period game set in the late 40's and 50's. Received a bit of a lukewarm response but I really, really enjoyed it. It's popped up in lots of Steam sales too, so I'm sure if you pay attention to the Summer Sale right now it'll pop up again.
It could just be that he doesn't want to waste time showing them. As you can tell, he didn't record the full case, it was just for fun and to show off the game's features.
yeah totally, a lot of games just dont work with a mouse and keyboard. when it comes to rpgs and some strategy games, maybe puzzle games, first person shooters. can work with keyboard and mouse...but other types of games tend not to do so well...like indeed racing and platformers im often swapping between a pad and keyboard when it comes to pc games
i love how you can go up to a car and say you work for the police and they give you the car.they could at least put the id up to the window in the animation.
Hehehehe Bekowshy's sitting there telling you the story of his life, calm as a cucumber. Meanwhile you're crashing around like crazy. That had me laughing so hard! :D
of course it'll run. maybe you will need to thinker a little with the options to achieve decent performance. you could try setting all at the lowest and rise the quality little by little and stay at the better quality at which it runs fine
Some games, yes. Maybe platformers or some action games. But on PC I can play Mario or Megaman or Super Meat Boy or whatever with one hand via WASD, shift and the spacebar, leaving another hand free to do something else (maybe play Mario on another computer, at the same time, lol). But if you complain about not being able to play an FPS or something like that without a gamepad, then man... One of the main points of playing something like that on PC is the ergonomics and speed of a keyboard.
lol. "70's 'inspired' games... like driver... come to mind" how about Interstate '76? It's iconic soundtrack still shows up unwittingly in commercials and YT vids today. Better funk than funk.
some games dont work too well with a keyboard thats all, likewise on a console some games dont work too well with a pad. im often using either the keyboard or a pad depending on the game especially because im left handed, having to reconfigure everything for most games on the keyboard becomes too much of a hasstle its really not worth it. i rarely configure controls on a pad, if at all
Dear LGR, how do you feel on PC games being terrible Xbox 360 or PS3 ports, I can only enjoy old games or games designed for the PC. I know that this game is a proper port, but such games as the recent Dark Souls port sucked. Also, how do you feel about modern PC DRM.

7:13 Kills an innocent pedestrian while saying "I kept the streets of L.A. safe for the people".
Brilliant.

"Can we TRY to get there in one piece?!"
"Nope. Three or four pieces, minimum."
"My apologies! I meant to do MUCH more damage than that!"
Who doesn't love that fabulous nightclub 'The Downloadable Content", such a happening joint.
They really should make more games like this. I really liked playing this game...it has a little bit of everything....shooting, driving, drama, investigation, fighting, chasing. I wonder if they would make a sequel to this game except taking place in the 50s/60s this time.
I played in BW mode as well. Loved that Perry Mason vibe!
I love cars from that era too. This game was like car porn for me.
Having played this game AND GTA, I must say that I'm used to this 'style' of driving and mayhem in GTA, but not in L.A. Noire. Seeing Cole Phelps just got batsh!t crazy on the town, hit-and-running his partner, and just going "Sorry!" as he brutally runs over citizens with his car of choice makes me laugh.

these videos just get more halarious, keep them comming LGR
Have you ever played Bully : Scholarship edition ? it's pretty cool
7:17 "I kept the streets of LA safe for the people"
He says as he over a guy on the sidewalk
O________o

Why did you play in black & white?? It's so stunning in colour!
I too play it in black and white. It kinda gives it that "film noir" feeling in my opinion :).
This and Bully Two of the best but also overlooked titles Rockstar has.
This is like an episode of "Dragnet" gone crazy. I like it.
If you're from L.A. like me, you really give a good deal of extra apprecitation for the historical reconstruction showing what places looked like "back in the day."
the ad…scarred me for life.. anyone else see the how to make mountain dew ad thingy before this video…
You continue to grow on me, Mr. LGR.
I feel like this should be shown to the dmv the next time you need to re-up your license...
I love how hes rampaging through town and theres sweet music on. Hahaha.
lmaooooo 20:46-21:02, The immitation of the operators voice....OMG!!! I was in freakin tears!!!
I love how you called this game "a little older" yet you play games on the commodore 64 and stuff xD
That game was the best ever. Storyline was great, and you feel like you build a relationship with the characters.
rofl at the mass-murdering bin at 9:27
Goes along nicely with the 40s music 😄
And to think Superman used to trash one of those old-style cars that look so cool nowadays for retro value.
Love your videos mate! Classic commentary!
Ahahaha
LGR: "ok ok I'll stop driving like a psycho. ".
*Proceeds to drive like a psycho*
🤣
1) Wow phreakindee, what do you have against Insuance Companies.

I didn't have internet for the longest time. just found you and your AMAZING!'s didn't mean to yell but truly.
Are there no cheats that will add fire and mayhem to your excellent driving style? I would like that.
The facial animations are the actors actual faces. The whole body of say, Cole Phelps is using MoCap, by his actor, Aaron Staton.
31:14 - "I'm in the 1940's!" Never laughed so hard.
From the files of POLICE SQUAD!
this is my favorite game of all time.
this era of cars is nice indeed...but the cars i really like are late 50's cars. i just find them so nice. even some of the british attempts at the style did really well i think, i like the vauxhall cresta
old cars are just really nice

Holy shit, facial animations in this game are amazing! Apparently, creators of L.A.Noire used their own technology for them.
"jesus im glad to be out of there" CRASH
Did the opening music make you think of that? Cause it did with me :)
I lost it at "The water heater can" XD
Sorry to interrupt your conversation with the others, but I misread your name as Team Heavy Hitlers and couldn't stop laughing for the longest time.
This game play commentary is hilarious! Thank you!
yeah keyboards are definitely better for fps games, except that some of the newer ones that have several other controls that i have to re configure and sometimes it still doesnt feel right, but in other ones it works so well i dont have to
The number one thing I learned from this video is that when in doubt you should always look into the water heater.
I loved this game...
The trouble I have with these games, and this is going back to GTIII on the PS2, is that I have so much fun causing mayhem that I never get around to finishing the missions.
Agreed on Mafia 2. Another period game set in the late 40's and 50's. Received a bit of a lukewarm response but I really, really enjoyed it. It's popped up in lots of Steam sales too, so I'm sure if you pay attention to the Summer Sale right now it'll pop up again.

im often swapping between a pad and keyboard when it comes to pc games
What's up with the lack of cutscenes, Clint? Is it something to do with your partnership?
The facial animations of this game really is something.
i love how you can go up to a car and say you work for the police and they give you the car.they could at least put the id up to the window in the animation.
phreakindee are you doing minecraft review soon you said you'd come around to it whats is your monthly plan for videos? Please reply.
Hehehehe Bekowshy's sitting there telling you the story of his life, calm as a cucumber. Meanwhile you're crashing around like crazy. That had me laughing so hard! :D
Dude! Have you played Mafia II? So much like this game
of course it'll run.
maybe you will need to thinker a little with the options to achieve decent performance.
you could try setting all at the lowest and rise the quality little by little and stay at the better quality at which it runs fine
I can see it now... LGR Plays: Postal 2. It would be amazing lol
"Now it's time to go outside! Nope... that's the laundryroom... NOW it's time to go outside!" :D
Some games, yes. Maybe platformers or some action games. But on PC I can play Mario or Megaman or Super Meat Boy or whatever with one hand via WASD, shift and the spacebar, leaving another hand free to do something else (maybe play Mario on another computer, at the same time, lol).

I wanted this game becuase of a youtube user called Canadian Jutsu but I was too young to buy it. I'm almost 18 and I'm now dying for this game.
Just another day on the job.. solving crimes, doing burnouts on genitals
31:09 I'm in the 1940s! Wooo!
What is your opinion on Driver 3 which got some lackluster reception?
“Ok I’m done driving like a maniac”
10 second later *runs over same person 3 times*
*Jumps off cliff* "I'm in the 1940's!!!!"
30:29 BILLDOZER MODE!
Why don't you do a review for Mafia 2? That's a review I would really want to see
Is it a coincidence that you posted this video the day after this game was on summer sale?
Detective Nukem is on the case, sort of
Damn right...Mafia 2 has a very awesoem history, gameplay and characters.I like Joe Barbaro !
You can't go around hitting broads!
I AM A BULLDOZER!
Is there any real benefits playing it on PC other then a high res texture pack.
What do you think about Mafia II, have you ever played it?
Do you watch any of the other shows on AMC like Breaking Bad or Walking Dead?
32:26 - ahh, memories of Fallout 3.
LMFAO I liked Roy Earle! I tend to enjoy antagonists in movies/games, especially if they're snarky.
Lol, and I thought I was the worst driver xD Love your videos.
"now it's time to go outside,"
*opens to laundry room*
LOL
I like how you hit the mailbox and took out like two ppl lol LOVE ALL UR WRK thanks!
What I heard it's better from launch, still has some issues but it's definitely better.
LGR how stable is LA Noire on PC? I heard some pretty issues about it on launch.
I was looking forward to a review or game play of what sorts or mod reviews for minecraft but life is hard :(
you have made me want to get and play this game now.
Mr. LGR, sir...
I like you a lot.
lol. "70's 'inspired' games... like driver... come to mind"
how about Interstate '76? It's iconic soundtrack still shows up unwittingly in commercials and YT vids today. Better funk than funk.
You should play Scarface , people say it was a fair try by sierra to copy gta , but i love it
some games dont work too well with a keyboard thats all, likewise on a console some games dont work too well with a pad. im often using either the keyboard or a pad depending on the game
especially because im left handed, having to reconfigure everything for most games on the keyboard becomes too much of a hasstle its really not worth it. i rarely configure controls on a pad, if at all
That was funny. XD Especially the little side comments. and making noises.
Dear LGR, how do you feel on PC games being terrible Xbox 360 or PS3 ports, I can only enjoy old games or games designed for the PC. I know that this game is a proper port, but such games as the recent Dark Souls port sucked. Also, how do you feel about modern PC DRM.
17:13 There's something up with the shadows on the fence there.
