Rockstar's synopsis of the game says: "Step into the shoes of LAPD detective Cole Phelps as he's thrown headfirst into a city drowning in its own success, where corruption is rampant, the drug trade is exploding, and murder rates are at an all-time high.

"In his fight to climb the ranks and do what's right, Phelps must unravel the truth behind a string of arson attacks, racketeering conspiracies, and brutal murders, battling the LA underworld and even members of his own department to uncover a secret that could shake the city to its rotten core.

"Solve cases inspired by real crimes from 1947 Los Angeles - one of the most corrupt and violent times in LA history - as you attempt to find the truth in a city where everyone has something to hide.

"Utilising revolutionary facial animation technology that captures every nuance of an actor's facial performance in astonishing detail, LA Noire blends breathtaking action with true detective work for an unprecedented interactive experience."

It's not yet confirmed when Bully will be available through GTA+, Rockstar's GTA Online premium membership program which is expanding to include more games.
