Violence & Gore
-
- In a flashback sequence a dismembered body is shown.
- Black & White mode makes the violence seem less graphic.
- Players use pistols, rifles, machine guns, and flamethrowers to engage in firefights with various enemies, these shootouts are highlighted by realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and blood spurts that stain injured characters and the surrounding environment.
- During the course of the game, players may come across crime scenes in which badly beaten or mutilated corpses are subject to investigation; players are able to examine victims' bodies closeup, surveying various bruises and bloody cuts for evidence.
- Players frequently find themselves in gunfights against a wide variety of criminal characters, such as murderers, robbers, and abusive spouses.
- Characters yelp in pain and blood sprays from wounds to stain clothing and coat the ground.
- Several interactive scenarios show gruesome, bloody murder scenes, with the player manipulating corpses looking for clues.
- Players also engage in fistfights.
- Non-interactive scenes show criminals beating, shooting, and murdering people in graphic ways that involve weapons such as crowbars and guns.
- Players can strike pedestrians with cars, but these civilians always seem to survive, dodging so that they take only a glancing blow.
- In shootouts, blood sprays from the victims and sprays, sometimes spraying on walls behind them.
- If shot in the head, bodies fall in a sickening, yet realistic, motion.
Profanity
-
- Cocksucker is said a few times.
- Racial & other types of slurs are used in game such as "Nigger" "Guinea", "Limey" "Wop" "Kike" "Jap", "Beaner" "Greaser" etc..
- God's name is abused a lot in the game. So is Jesus's name
- Women are referred to as Dames & Broads, while these aren't swear words, some people might find them offensive. Slut is used a bit if I remember correctly.
- "Cunt" is used a few time s.
- About 94 frequent uses of fuck including other profane words such as shit, hell, damn, asshole, etc.
- Name calling (son of a bitch, little shit, dip shit, bastard, whore, bitch etc.)
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Some sequences allow players to collect/manipulate drug-related evidence such as marijuana packets, morphine syringes, or amphetamine pills.
- In one cutscene, a doctor can be seen injecting a character with morphine.
- Many non-player characters smoke cigarettes and drink and appear in bar scenes that are visited during investigations.
- Players also examine empty beer bottles and cigarette packages, matchbooks, and cigarette stubs.
- A tobacco company ad on the radio describes in detail why its cigarettes are the most satisfying.
- Some investigations involve the examination of drug evidence, including marijuana.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Some intense and disturbing scenes in the war flashbacks, and wartime PTSD in one form or another is an undercurrent theme.
- The game contains many chase sequences involving vehicles and pursuing suspects on foot.
- LA Noire is a high-stakes suspenseful detective crime thriller set in the 1940s about a rookie cop turned detective named Cole Phelps who solves criminal cases in Los Angeles.
- Rated R for Brutal Afterviews of Grisly and Graphic Killings including Violence, Disturbing Images, Language, Graphic Nudity, And Sexual/Drug Material.
- This is a VERY suspenseful game, often with realistic depictions/descriptions of highly violent acts (including some towards children!), which could easily serve as triggers to anyone having experienced any such things in their own life.
- The games complex cases force players to unflinchingly investigate some very disturbing crime scenes, absorbing as much as they can from mutilated bodies and other bloody evidence in order to identify and track down criminal suspects.
- Some of the crime scenes have blood around them and some even contain child victims and some of the stories can be very disturbing to younger viewers.
- A level takes place underneath a church, in a dark tunnel, where a psychopath criminal is running away from you; the setting is disturbing, there are body parts lying around and blood everywhere.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- Near the end of the game, Cole is invited by Elsa into her apartment and the lights to their room go out. Later on Cole gets suspended from duty on charges of adultery as one one of the characters says that Cole's wife has "compromising" pictures of Cole and Elsa, strongly implying that Cole and Elsa had sex and that Cole cheated on his wife. No nudity and sex is explicitly seen but the dialogue is very suggestive.
- In the case "A Polite Invite", Kelso can find a 12 year old girl who is highly implied to have been sexually assaulted by his boss. This is missable and no nudity is seen.
Violence & Gore
- Towards the end of the game the player deals with arson, that includes the death of two families: one family is burnt to a crisp, the camera lingers at the bodies that seem to be praying but became nothing but ashes and stiff burnt flesh; this is especially disturbing since two of the victims are children; later that scene, one of the bodies breaks into pieces, the head rolling in a direction while the limbs fall next to the other bodies, one of the main characters is very disturbed by this scene and leaves to vomit.
Profanity
- In one of the last cases within the Homicide Desk; the L.A.P.D. receives a letter from a murderer by the name of "Werewolf". The coroner tells the protagonist that it "stinks"
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- One case starts with visting the home of a suspected suicide victim (although the coroner quickly rules it a homicide instead), later in the same case a person of interest commits suicide via jumping out of a window (all shown) due to guilt over his involvement with the killers of the murder victim. May be a intense moment for those who have dealth with suicidal thoughts.
- At one point the player must interrogate a 15 year old rape victim. Very uncomfortable throughout, since that includes having to put pressure on the obviously evasive victim, almost as if they were a suspect, in order to get all the required facts.
- The main character dies after being swept away in the sewer, presumably to drown. Since this game causes the player to have an emotional connection to the main character, this may upset some.
