L.A. Noire Remastered Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?"  XBOX X Version video thumbnail

If you didn't haved the opportunity to play it since 2011, you can go for the Nintendo Switch version of L.A. Noire without fear as it's still a good adventure game with some great investigation and interrogating systems that have an impact on the way you solve cases, and an amazing atmosphere with some excellent acting. Port is true to the original game and has some issues, on TV and docked mode, but it doesn't refrain the game from being an immersive experience.

Still an exciting detective thriller with a dense atmosphere and great facial animations, but little action.

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.

L.A. Noire is definitely worth playing, especially if you haven't done it yet. It delivers many hours of pure fun in a great atmosphere of noir movies. Sometimes the quality of the graphics fails, and the game can seem repetitive and archaic. Also, there was no point in changing the wording on dialogue choices, but it's nothing compared to its content.

The Nintendo Switch version of L.A. Noire maintains everything good about the original release, while adding a few new tricks to the mix to make the game a little bit more interesting, including 'touch'. Beyond the Switch tricks, L.A. Noire is still a game I enjoy playing, especially in a portable form. It's like a violent Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego mixed with the open world structure of a Grand Theft Auto, both intelligent and dumb fun.

New version of L.A. Noire does not disappoint but at the same me does nothing to make me love this really good game some more. This remaster is just ok – nothing more, noting less. It offers fancy thins like HDR and 4K but there’s nothing really new and if you already on L.A. Noire, skip this version.

Rockstar ports the underrated L.A. Noire over to The Switch and actually adds some interesting new control dynamics to the old title rather than just tossing on some gimmicks. That's a good thing.
