L.A. Noire 'Blurs the Line' Between Story and Game

donniebaseball23 writes "Rockstar, never a studio to shy away from risks, first tackled Westerns with Red Dead Redemption, and is now about to launch a film noir-based title called LA Noire. IndustryGamers posted a feature on the game's unique storytelling method.

This was a pivotal focus for us and I think we've done it reasonably successfully.'"L.A. Noire has been seven years in the making, and is due to launch in the US next Tuesday.
