Review: ‘Madrid Noir’ is a slightly interactive animated movie in which you will be playing the role of Lola, but only now and again/not all the time. Most of the time you will be simply watching the story unfold. To be fair to this 40 minutes experience all the charters are well animated and the virtual environments/scenes look great. But this really isn’t something you will play more than once which does make the price tag a little steep. If you can grab this for a bit cheaper you will appreciate it a little more. It is funny at times and oddly immersive, just a little short on content.
