L.A. Noire - Nintendo Switch

I like the game a lot. There are a lot of excellent side missions that allow you to chase after bad guys and shoot various guns. At the same time, driving the car is both boring and super challenging. Apparently driving in the 1950's is way different than today (look at the traffic lights and how the cars react). There seems to be no way to keep the car's siren running, which can lead to accidents and city damage (which hurts your performance rating on the case). The game is extremely violent and graphic, think twice before you let your teenager play this. With that said, it's fun to play and the interview portion of the game is a real challenge.

I missed playing this on the consoles it originally released on. The only downside to this game is there are some annoying hiccups with the game crashing on the switch and just random bugs. I really enjoyed the actual game itself though.

I liked this game a lot better on the PS4. The feel of the game was a bit slow on the switch but not terrible.

I've never been a fan of GTA, nothing about it ever attracted me at all. However when L.A. Noire came out I was really interested. It's set in a time that I enjoy traveling back to and the cop/investigation gameplay was pretty interesting to me. I played the game originally on Xbox 360 and loved every second of it. The Switch version makes a lot of improvements, but it's also sadly held back by certain technical limitations. It's still a fantastic game and much improved over the original PS3/360 versions. I would recommend it.

An impressive story and a smart port, with an unfortunately poor open world. Especially considering it originally came out in 2011, I was impressed that playing through LA Noire on the Nintendo Switch amazed me all over again. From the top-quality voice acting and the still-unmatched facial animations to the multi-layered crimes to solve, the parts that really matter work great on the Switch. The old-looking and empty open-world parts in between, not so much. Six years later, LA Noire is still a unique game. There are cops-and-robbers car chases and occasional gunfights, but most of it is a smartly paced, contemplative challenge that keeps you thinking. As a Los Angeles cop working in the 1940s, you’ll be sent to a weird and wonderful array of crime scenes where you find clues, interact with witnesses, and draw conclusions with a limited amount of hand-holding. I never thought I’d find myself interested in the forgery of pink slips until I met the diverse cast of suspects and witnesses involved in a grand theft auto scheme, and using the right pieces of evidence against each of them presented a test of its own. A few of the 21 cases are a little repetitive, but every time I was close to feeling bored, something completely unexpected would happen and draw me back in again.

I originally played a little bit of this game on the PS3 or PS2 (forget which one it was out on, but only for a bit since it was my brothers. However, the little bit I did play, I liked because it was a detective base game, which I am a sucker for. So when I saw this for the switch and for only 20 bucks, it was a must buy. It was a great decision! Game is great and if you're into solving mysteries, enjoy time period pieces and try and guess if you're right, then I definitely recommend! The price is also a great incentive to purchase this game, especially for a newer gen console.

Was a fan of the original game, and while this one doesn't do anything dramatically different, the added touch screen controls are really intuitive, and the episodic mature of the game makes the ability to play in short bursts worthwhile. It also doesn't look or perform dramatically worse than the Xbox One or PS4 versions. Still $10 more expensive then it should be though.

if you like old school adventure this maybe up your alley. This is a port of the greatest hit verison containing all the DLC from 2011. No issues with the switch verison for the most part, If you wanted to play this on the go this is you game
