Ranking Every Rockstar Game From Worst To Best

14. L.A. Noire

Often thought of as being developed solely by Team Bondi, Rockstar utilised many of their worldwide studios to help out, ultimately earning them enough of a credit to appear on this list. After all, L.A. Noire includes all the 'Rockstar tropes' such as a corner mini-map and an open-world mission structure.

As for the game itself, certain combinations of trigger-able dialogue meant main-man Cole Phelps could fly off the handle and return to cool, calm calculation within seconds, but it wasn't enough to derail the project entirely.

Pioneering the best facial technology gaming had ever seen, L.A. Noire's ambition covered any cracks in the consistency of individual conversations, as at any given moment you could be scouring crime scenes, interrogating suspects, engaging in firefights or ramming another target off the road.

Like a 'thinking man's crime game', L.A. Noire is the sort of thing you were just appreciative to even see the light of day - so refreshing and accomplished was its approach to realising a certain vision of old-school Americana detective work.
