We've seen more than our fair share of cinematic trailers for L.A. Noire to convince us that Rocksta'rs free-roaming gangster adventure is definitely worth keeping an eye on, but how about this - the first official orientation video showing in-game footage.

This is the first of a series of trailers that Rockstar Games will release in the lead up to launch in May, showcasing some of the game's main features. The video shows exploration, interrogation and some of the all action shoot-outs that we can expect on the tough streets of this gangster's paradise. It also appears that there's a level-up system and the chance to hurtle around the streets in some frantic car chases.

It looks fabulous...check it out.
