L.A. Noire lockar en bred publik och inte bara män som spelar själva, enligt spelets utvecklare Team Bondi. I en intervju med Gamespot berättar writer/director Brendan McNamara att man under teststunder sett att folk gärna samarbetar framför äventyret, trots att det är en singleplayer-titel.
"One of the phenomenons we've seen a lot when we watch people play the game is that they'll play it, or their wife or their girlfriend will play it," berättar McNamara som tydligen utgår från att mest män sitter vid handkontrollen. "2-3 people can be entertained by playing the same game, which is a bit of a new phenomenon"
"So far it's been very appealing to women, too, which is great. I think women are pretty good at reading whether people are lying or not."
