L.A. Noire Review Leaked and Apparently It’s Really Good *Update* Editor Calls It a Hoax

A review for the Rockstar epic L.A. Noire was leaked online at the Guardian and received a 5/5, but was swiftly taken down. Luckily nothing ever dies on the internet and Lost Generation Gaming has obtained info from a Gamefaqs user who got an early issue of the OXM review and released some details. I know it all sounds confusing, but the bottom line is it seems we will have a fantastic game to look forward to come Tuesday.

• Very cinematic, takes many cues from LA Confidential they said. Also according to the reviewer “A game that bridges cinema and the gaming universe.”
• Motion Scan is the highlight for them, and the feeling of actually being a detective. They said no game comes close to the experience that they had with L.A Noire.
• Great Narrative. In there opinion they said it has the dramatic, and cinematic storytelling of Heavy Rain, with the complexity of Metal Gear Solid, mixed with the length of Red Dead Redemption (but longer). 

“If you were expecting L.A Noire to be a reskinned GTA then you will be left severely disappointed. Many times we hear, “Who will be gaming’s Citizen Kane?”. Personally, I don’t have the gall to say L.A Noire is that type of game. But it is a game that will revolutionize the gaming industry as we know it. Never in my 20 year history of gaming have I encountered a game with as much finesse, intelligence, and attention to detail as L.A Noire, and for that I applaud L.A Noire. A game which has the nerve to do so much, in an industry where a seldom few are.”

UPDATE
OXM editor Jon Hicks confirmed the review is ”It’s a rather silly hoax”. He went on to say ”Our review will be going live on OXM.co.uk early next week, and printed in our E3 special edition on-sale 10th June."
