Critic Reviews for L.A. Noire Remastered
The most important parts of LA Noire have aged beautifully, with incredibly detailed faces, diverse characters, and unique, challenging crimes to solve as a detective. The top-notch writing and voice acting bring 1940s Los Angeles to life, but are let down by a dull open world with frequent frame rate drops. Aside from difficulty aiming in gun fights, it's a smart port with accurate motion controls and the ability to play almost entirely touchscreen, too.
Still arguably the best detective game, and an impressively ambitious example of adult storytelling – despite a few structural and narrative flaws.
Improved interrogation options help these cold cases hold up six years after they originally released. However, the fantastic open-world setting is still underutilized
Despite a few technical issues, L.A. Noire is well worth playing on Switch.
L.A. Noire isn't the prettiest project, but it still holds up because there isn't anything quite like it even today.
Whether it's exploring the open city of Los Angeles or pointing fingers at suspects, LA Noire feels right at home on Switch.
Nintendo Switch offers the best version of this remastered Rockstar gem thanks to the use of the touchpad, which gives a new dimension for the investigation parts. A great game that takes us back in time.
