L.A. Noire Remastered Reviews
L.A. Noire for Switch is simply one of the greatest ports for the console seen to date. It retaines all the content from the original versions and adjust it to the functions of the system in an outstanding way. Maybe the graphics pale when compared with the recent remastered editions, but believe us when we say that playing this game on the go is a complete delight.

L.A Noire is a fantastic game that finds a home on the Nintendo Switch, and the portability aspect really helps. While each case is pretty large, the ability to save (along with auto-saves) at any time makes this a perfect game for on the go or at home. Rockstar put the effort into this port and it shows. Sure, it's a bit of an older game and does show some age from time to time, but L.A. Noire is another great triple-A third party release that shouldn't be overshadowed by games like Skyrim and DOOM. If you are looking for a fantastic story-driven game with unique gameplay, L.A. Noire should be in your Switch library.
L.A. Noire remains the best detective game around. Combing crime scenes, interrogating suspects, and catching them in lies with evidence to back up accusations is just as rewarding as ever. This port has allowed the game to age a little better than the original, however, it doesn't look like a massive upgrade was made in terms of graphics. The included photo mode is also welcome, but it has some odd limitations that may prove frustrating. Still, if you missed the original, or want the entire experience all over again in up to 4K resolution, then it's worth the asking price of $39.99.
L.A. Noire remains an absorbing run through crime-ridden 1940s Los Angeles, and the Switch port runs well and looks excellent.
L.A. Noire wasn't a faultless game back in 2011 and that hasn't changed in 2017, yet it somehow manages to be more than the sum of its parts.
The beating heart of L.A. Noire is its ability to make you feel like a 1940s detective rubbing your nose against the seedy underbelly of a city full of secrets. But those considerable charms can't hide a half-hearted port that comes with a $40 price tag to boot.

L.A. Noire is still a strange, sometimes brilliant game that you should try at least once. But if you're returning to try and recapture what enjoyment you might have had with it six years ago, you might find yourself staring at a package that hasn't aged well at all.
Despite the years that have passed, L.A Noire still shows that nowadays why linear narrative doesn't have to be confronted to gameplay. A really good entry to the golden age of noir cinema.

Even with a new coat of graphical paint, L.A. Noire remains a game that adds up to less than the sum of its parts.
L.A. Noire on the Nintendo Switch looks and plays as good as the original did, featuring the same stunning actor performances and facial animations of the original, as well as its compelling plot and involving film noir atmosphere. Not all is perfect in this conversion and if the original game already featured a somewhat empty world, the Nintendo Switch version does not add anything groundbreaking to the original.

The PS4 version of Rockstar's noir detective thriller is the definitive way to play L.A. Noire and stands as an appealing prospect for old and new wannabe sleuths alike.
One of the best detective games of all time, L.A. Noire on PS4 will certainly give you bang for your buck thanks to its improved graphical prowess and neat package containing all of the original's content. It may not be the greatest looking remaster overall, but visuals aside, it's still the engaging storylines and the complex characters that you'll come back for. Team Bondi may have been shot three days before retirement, but its spirit lives on.
The Nintendo Switch version of L.A. Noire finally does justice to a game that deserved a little bit more consideration when it first came out, six years ago. The porting is far from perfect (especially in TV mode), but the gameplay suits perfectly the idea of playing on the move.

L.A. Noire is a great game. The six years since its original launch haven't changed that.
Though LA Noire's open world and graphics may not have aged nicely, its core aspects still work surprisingly well.
L.A Noire is probably Rockstars most underestimated title, and it holds up surprisingly well even today.

L.A. Noire was a unique game that deserved a second chance.
An excellent police procedural in a lackluster remaster
I'm still a big fan of what L.A. Noire tries to do, and with the improvements to interrogations and visuals, it's certainly worth giving it a go
