L.A. Noire first released in 2011 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. It saw players take on the role of a detective from the Los Angeles Police Department in 1947 as they investigate a string of gruesome crimes. The standout gameplay feature was the use of interrogation to advance the plot, with players having to take facial cues from characters. The critical response was generally positive and it went on to win several game of the year awards.
