Rockstar you disappointed me:-( 3 out of 10

ok this is my critical review of la noir, I have played many rockstar games and i usually love them I beat GTA5 in 5 days i'm usually pretty hardcore in games that interest me, I will admit i'm not a hardcore buy every game that comes out, i always play and beat the gta i also play and beat the mgs and i like mafia 1 and 2. not a huge sports, unless its soccer, gamer or anything like that.
ok

this i'm going to give a 3 out of 10

I did not beat the game because i lost interest after about 4 hours, i got through about 15 missions and then was done. ok the positive

- Amazing VO
- Amazing Graphics
- Amazing depiction of la in the 40s
- ok storyline

and now the cons
- Horrible game play
The missions seem monotonous and boring, also after a mission you don't get to free roam or do what you want you must go to the next mission which is more of the same, figure out the mystery and question the perp etc. Yes i know its a game about a cop rising through the ranks but a little variety of missions would be nice maybe a side story of cole's personal life and a few missions that revolve around that?
- No customization what so ever.
In mafia 2 and gta you can customize your character - for example change outfits to what you want choose a variety of weapons cars etc.
- if you don't feel you did a mission right you have to start from the beginning of the mission and wait thru the mini cut scenes
- no random mayhem like gta

idk when it comes down to it everyone is entitled to their own opinion but i was disappointed b/c i was expecting something more like gta. that is why my post is titled what it is.

for the record i'm not a troll or anything by any means ( see my previous posts on other boards) I just wanted to state my opinion and see if anyone else feels the same way

Oh, boo hoo, you didn't get to kill civilians and you actually had to think for a change. Funny how you mention Mafia 2, one of the worst games of 2010. Well if you seriously thought this was like Mafia 2 or GTA, you were *beep* out of your mind because it's got more in common with a game like Heavy Rain than Saint's Row, pal. And another thing, Rockstar didn't make this game - it was Team Bondi, they're just the publisher (in fact, Sony greenlit the game first and bankrolled its early production, Rockstar/T2 came in later because of their connections with McNamara, Bondi's founder).

Like so many other people...you're overlooking the fact that this game was NOT DEVELOPED BY ROCKSTAR GAMES... Rockstar Games is only the PUBLISHER. The game was made by "Team Bondi"...so if you don't like the game, Blame them.

That being said, of course its not like other Rockstar Titles, like GTA IV and V, or Red Dead Redemption, because Rockstar didn't MAKE this one. Again, they only Published it.
