LA Noire - Worth buying or renting?

happy birthday old man.....not touched LA Noire, all reports and reviews I have heard from gaming media and friends is that initially its amazing but ends up being a trudge and a chore to just finish the game and by the end its all a bit..meh...I would rent it to try it out, but if you have the pass you may be able to grab it cheap preowned somehwere

Honestly fella, i would rent it.

Happy b-day gramps.

Deffo a rental title, impressivwe for about 2 of the cases then its just rinse and repeat. easy

1000gs for you phil.

Another vote for the rental. The initial rush of the realistic faces is quickly replaced by the realisation that the rest of the animation is below the standard set by Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men. The cases also require very little skill as everything is pointed out to you in an obvious fashion.

Ack bugger; it was a game that i was going to take my time at....there just isn't anything really good out at the mo ffs.

Either way is fine. If you rent it, you can get the 1400g with not that much effort.

If you buy it, its a solid title to have on your shelf, but the replay value is minimal.

Yea i know what you mean; at the end off the day the wife is buying it so i may just let her do so.

Dude, do what I have done...go old school on your gaming, spend literally nothign and revisit the best of games seen on the 360, for less then the cost of a new game I grabbed ACII and brotherhood, Lost Oddessy, Mass Effect and The Darkness recently and just having a blast in the SP world...please dude, dont buy the game for cheevos alone, will lose the little respect I hold for a Newcastle fan i have lol

save the money for dead island phil. only 7 weeks till release.

7 weeks till zombie masshing oh yes.

As for L.A. Noire got with your intuition haha yes
