Rockstar’s informed select press members at PAX East that its upcoming 1940s-based thriller L.A. Noire will take around 25-30 hours to complete.
The game’s main campaign throws up 23 meaty missions to tackle, though players will still have plenty to tuck into in the form of the myriad of side quests and DLC up for grabs.
L.A. Noire started off life as a PlayStation 3-exclusive, before going down the multiformat route a few years back. The game features a highly sophisticated facial animation system, with players able to scrutinize a character’s facial expressions to discern whether they’re uttering the truth or telling porky pies.
The game’s out in May 2011 for PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms.
