Example does not sufficiently explain how it applies, Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* AnAesop: HonestyIsTheBestPolicy. Crime doesn't pay, and [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules personal integrity will always be worth more than money or prestige]]. This cannot be more clear than when [[spoiler:Cole sticks his gun in Roy's face for badmouthing Courtney Sheldon, a war hero with whom Phelps served in the Pacific]].

* NPCAmnesia: Since questioning suspects and witnesses is a huge part of the game, you as a rule only get one chance to ask the right question, although for some you can re-ask it or a similar one after you find more evidence and re-question them. Your rating on each case is partially determined by how well you go through the dialogue trees.

** A common complaint regarding the game is its lack of a free-roam feature. The thing is, it ''does'' have one, "Streets of L.A.", which the game tells you about at the start of the Homicide missions... but it doesn't tell you ''where'' it is. You need to go to "Cases" on the main menu, then select a finished desk (Traffic or later; you can't free roam as Patrol), then choose "Streets of L.A.". Each desk has this option because each desk's version of "Streets of L.A." gives access to that desk's Street Crimes.

Not related to the TV Series ''L.A. Noir'', which has since been renamed ''Series/MobCity'' to avoid confusion to this game.

* ChainsOfCommanding: In flashbacks, both Cole and Kelso are attending Marine officer training where their instructors tell that in the battlefield, they'll be expected to made hard choices that ''will'' get their men killed in order to achieve their objectives. Cole passes the tests with flying colors, while Kelso flunks out and quits in protest since he can't accept knowingly ordering his men to their deaths.

** Want to get all the clues during "A Slip of the Tongue"? If you go to the Industrial Street warehouse before Marquee Printing, you're going to come up one short. You actually need to visit Marquee Printing first so you can see Leitvol's ledger; you won't get the question that lets you see it if you visit Industrial Street first.
