A crime scene in LA Noire
Cases are the episodic missions that form the structure of L.A. Noire.
Almost all cases (excluding the ones from the Patrol desk) begin the same way. You're treated to a short cutscene showing the crime taking place, briefed by your Captain, and then you and your partner head off to the crime scene to search for clues. Most of the cases feature interrogations and shootings. Depending on how many clues Phelps finds and how well he does during the interrogations, the course of the case might change; meaning each case can be solved in multiple ways. At the end of each case, Phelps will receive a score of 1-5 stars, depending on how well he did in both investigation and interrogation. By receiving high scores at the end of a case, Phelps will move through the ranks of the LAPD faster.
Not including pre-order bonuses and downloadable content, L.A. Noire features 21 assigned cases across five different crime desks and 40 Street Crimes.[1]
Pre-order bonuses and DLC cases will not be counted as "Case Completed" in the game statistics except in the Remastered Edition, where they are counted.
