L.A. Noire - It'd take a smarter man than me to connect this

After a weeks break we're back with L.A. Noire! This is pretty much what clue finding is like. Hear a chime and then walk around in circles pushing 'X' until you pick something up. There's a lot of useless bottles and cigarettes to look at. This hardly feels like real detective work and the camera angles never really feel like you are looking for stuff. This aspect of the game was handled better in 'Heavy Rain' or even 'Phoenix Wright' .

The clue finding music is a nice touch. (It will play until all the clues are found). The chime and the controller rumble when you are near a clue seems a little too helpful. Maybe you can turn that help off but like I said the camera angles don't really help so that wouldn't be all that fun.

Oh looking over dead bodies for clues is a completely different story. That is done really well. Also when you pick up a newspaper and get those news paper cutscenes that is super great. That main psychiatrist is fantastic.

Well see you Wednesday for some interrogation DOUBT!... I mean TRUTH!
