A lot of L.A. Noire's game-play is based on interrogation. While it may seem like someone is telling the truth, it could easily be a lie. This could ruin your end-of-case rating.

Steps

  1. Make sure that you know what the question consists of. For example, know that "Possible Suspects" in the notebook will ask the person in question if they know of any possible suspects. The question may not necessarily be asked straight away, as Cole could say, "Do you know any suspects?" then a reply, and then "What about Mr. Cavanagh?". The notebook does not state the full question.
  2. If the question was not asked straight away, use this to your advantage. Note their reply when the conversation is started. You will now know how they answer their questions. They should use the same "method" for the real question.
  3. Pay close attention to the suspect. If they hesitate, avoid your gaze, or fidget, you will know that they are lying, as most people will feel uneasy about telling a lie.
  4. Also, pay close attention to what the suspect says. For example, if there is a stolen purse valued at $100, and the suspect says $50, you know that the suspect is telling a lie.
  5. If you think that the suspect is lying, check your notebook first. If you have evidence to prove that the person is lying, press the "Lie" button. If there is no evidence, press the "Doubt" button.
  6. If the person looks you in the eye without fidgeting or some hesitation, press the "Truth" button.

Tips

  • If you can't tell if a person is lying or not, but you still want to get the question right, use an Intuition point. You can choose "Remove an Answer", which removes one of the possibilities (either Lie, Doubt or Truth) so that two remain. You could also use "Ask the community". This is only available if you have access to XBOX Live or the PlayStation Network. This will tell you what other people chose, and there will almost always be a majority. For example, after "Ask the community" is chosen, the options would be the percentages of how many people said what, for example, Truth (9.1%) Doubt (88.9%) Lie (2.0%). You can see that more people chose "Doubt".

Warnings

  • Answering incorrectly may affect your end-of-case rating. Be careful!
