Unnecessary additions are irritating. [Issue#196, p.88]

Even all these years later, L.A. Noire is still an interesting and distinctive experience. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 36E]

L.A. Noire on the Nintendo Switch brings back the best of this criminal investigation game, as its excellent actor performances and facial animation still look impressive. As unique as L.A. Noire is, however, the conversion to the Nintendo Switch also has its flaws and it doesn't add anything too significant to the original game.

I really enjoyed LA Noire on Switch, it has many great attributes, though it's certainly not perfect. I found the gameplay to be somewhat simplistic and perhaps overly forgiving. However the story, performances, music, and commitment to period authenticity went a long way at elevating the somewhat lackluster game elements. The Switch version's visuals are a bit rough, but certainly serviceable. There are a surprising amount of features added to this edition, with motion and even touch control being included. These probably aren't 100% necessary to have, but it's nice that they went through the effort. In the end, the game delivers on the premise of a being a Rockstar-styled Noire detective game, and that's all I really wanted.

I quite liked the game and I think the port is well done generally with minor issues if any, my only problem is the repeating gameplay and the absence of replayability but otherwise a great experience.

I’ve been playing this just for 3 hours and I’m totally sold. How would somebody rate this below 10 baffles me! This is a superb game. Great voicin, narration, visuals, controls, story, etc. I love every aspect about it. It runs amazingly well. The only thing I would say is I would have love more interaction with the NPC’s in the world. The world is so big but most of it is linear. Although is a superb production. I loved it immensely. Haven’t finish it but is already a 10 because everything is perfect already. Totally recommended and yes it’s worth every cent and penny. I want a sequel now! Wow, this is a classic!! Buy on full price buy it on sale!!

Overall, L.A. Noire is a solid release that gives me hope that if gamers support it, we may get some other Rockstar classics in the same vein. Can you image having games like the original Red Dead Redemption or GTAIV on the go?! I can!

The Switch version may suffer visually, but the modular nature of this narrative makes it a perfect companion for gaming on the go.

L.A: Noire is an unique game, charming and with a unique concept no one has tried to replicate again. If you want to rediscover the game or play it for the first time, these versions will get you the full experience.

If you never played L.A. Noire before is a great time to do it. The Switch version is a well made port from a game that is not perfect but it’s unique in its genre.

L.A. Noire isn't the prettiest project, but it still holds up because there isn't anything quite like it even today.

This new version of L.A. Noire is like the original game, with a few tweaks. The graphics look excellent, but the story and repetitive gameplay are not amazing.

L.A. Noire isn’t quite an action blockbuster, but more of a serialised crime caper. The slow approach and moments of intrigue are welcome, and ends on an incredibly memorable note. DLC fills out the experience for Phelps fans.

Es mi primer juego de Rockstar y de verdad me está dejando muy satisfecho, especial para los amantes del género policiaco, para quienes deseen un juego para pasarlo poco a poco, que los haga pensar y buscar pistas para resolver pequeñas misiones de crímenes.

LA Noire is a great title to pick up if you’re a fan of the Noire genre and a fan of attention to detail and good stories. Seeing it on the switch is a half and half situation. Having it on a mobile console like this, the game has to sacrifice graphics and frame rate, so be prepared to see the game be slow at some times and even a bit disgusting graphics wise. However, it still doesn’t take away the features from the gameplay and story itself. If you’re a hardcore LA Noire fan or a Detective fan, it’s a good thing to pick up on the switch. I wouldn’t really recommend it for any regular gamer as it’s gameplay style can be boring to some and even a bit repetitive.

Decepcionante en algunos aspectos y sorprendente en otros. Es un buen juego con ciertos problemas de ritmo. Podría haber sido muchisimo mas.

It is quite interesting in the beginning but after 5-6 hours of playing it becomes all the same.

L.A. Noire was a was a very good game last generation that is deserving of a Switch port, but it all falls apart once you see the full on retail price. This is only exacerbated by the fact that you can get the best version on Steam for only $30 with all the DLC (if you wait for a steam sale you can get it for ~$5-10). If you only use consoles, you can get it on Xbox One or PS4 for $40. Why would you pay $10 more for performance issues on the switch due to once again not being properly optimized. At least we know Rockstar is treating the Switch like PC now and not fully optimizing their games on the platform and can plan to avoid them in the future. For a game this old to have performance issues at this price is unacceptable. In before Switch fanboys ignore all of the performance issues and price jumping all over Rockstar's jock because they finally released a mediocre port of an actual good game (Bully and manhunt 2 being the previous ones) on a Nintendo system... Nevermind, too late.
SummaryAmid the post-war boom of Hollywood's Golden Age, Cole Phelps, an LAPD detective is thrown headfirst into a city drowning in its own success.
