Rockstar Games has released the first in a new series of gameplay videos showing off their upcoming detective thriller L.A. Noire.

Aptly named "Orientation", the first video gives us an overview of the game's core mechanics, from searching for clues to the fundamentals of witness interrogation, as well as brawling and shootouts. All these elements will be used as you rise through the ranks of the LAPD from a lowly patrol beat cop to homicide, vice and arson. Check it out below:

L.A. Noire will be out in stores on 20 May.
