This is one of my favorite games from the PS3 and it looks even better on the PS4 Pro! The remastered edition looks great the graphics are crisp and the colors are vibrant. There are more detailed textures in many of the graphics, which makes for an even better playing experience. Some of the best voice work I have heard in a game and a great storyline! Highly recommend this game!

I fell in love with Noire years and years with cult classics Devil in Blue Dress and LA Confidential. When I originally saw the tech demo for this back in the the 2010s I was mesmerized by how cutting edge it was back then and preordered it as soon as I could. I had a few reservations about gameplay but overall love this game for its visuals and story. So obviously when a updated port came out I had to make should I picked up a copy the day it dropped and i'm glad I did. Gameplay feels fresh, DLC is included, and known bugs / gameplay shortcomings were addressed. I'm in love again.

Rockstar made all Grand Theft Auto games and Red Dead. They know how to tell a good story. This is a crime detective game....lots of intrigue figuring out crimes!

I don’t think this game got as much respect as it should have when it first got released. I know I may not have been ready for it at the time although I had gone back and played it anywarnornso afyer release and I very much enjoyed it! I think now it should get a bit more play from more current gamers to an extent. It’s a great detective game, nice to be able to use your mind to engage in puzzles and mystery trying to piece together and solve what’s going on. I would be very interested in seeing this facial capture technology in current games win thenup to date technology, I bet it would be amazing! Good fun game for those not looking for fast paced constant action but a nice steady paced mystery game.

Rarely does Rockstar stray away from producing a blockbuster game. LA Noire is such a departuree from the run and gun outlaws and criminally induced bank robbing caricatures of modern men. LA Noire is like a Soap Opera based in the 50s that you control. It allow us you to develop a story from your cast of characters that is somewhat linear, but interesting. It works for the time. LA Noir is a last gen title, and fon't expect the level of detail in story or gameplay as GTAV or Red Dead 2. If you are a fan of Noire Detective stories, this can feel a little campy. And the open world is a little scattered compared to more modern games. If you didn't play the original, give this one a little time to sink in. It is a fun time.

It’s the classic Rockstar set-up, an open-world setting encased in an evocative era – or so it first seemed. Gamers originally expected the developer to follow a format similar to GTA, but what sets LA. Noire apart from other games is what it isn’t. It isn’t a game with indistinguishable mission structures, a tongue-in-cheek adoration of sex and violence, and a free-roaming structure that limits while it expands. It isn’t GTA, basically, and that is a good thing.

Play as a detective and solve cold cases set in 1940's Los Angeles! the detail in the game is impeccable, the remastered version looks amazing and makes you feel as if you were living in that time. Good storyline to go with it as well. If you like solving mysteries and are a Classic Hollywood fanatic like myself, then this game is up your alley! Think of it as the film "L.A Confidential" and or GTA but set in the 40's. Great game overall.

This game was originally released on the PS3, and when you consider its age- the visual presentation in this game was insanely ahead of its time. The main character and some of the featured characters you run across are from TV shows you’ve likely seen. The motion capture of their faces was revolutionary for a video game.
As a PS4 release, it shows its age when compared with games like GTA 5 and Horizon Dawn— but it’s still visually solid when compared with 90% of the PS4 library you’ve likely played.
The game’s real appeal, though, is its story. A twisting whodunit that involves murders, sex, drugs, and mystery. All of it takes place in a fully-realized 1940’s Los Angeles, with real landmarks and locations like you’d expect from a Rockstar Studios open-world game.
At the end, you’ll likely be left satisfied, wanting more. 5 years after playing the original PS3 release, round 2 on the PS4 was just as fun, and the story was equally entertaining.

This was already an amazing game on the previous generation consoles and the updated graphics plus the complete DLCs make this even better, especially if you’re someone like me who never purchased the DLCs on the original. Definitely pick this up if you’re craving to play this game again and don’t have your previous consoles.

I played the original back on PS3 and enjoyed it for what it was. It was a refreshing experience from your typical Rockstar game and I recommend giving it a shot. The facial animations were great for it's time and was put to good use discovering if someone was lying to you or not. Just don't go into this game expecting any GTA experience and you will have a good time.

Rockstar Games first released L.A Noire to the world in 2011, and six years later, it’s still a fun game. With a few slight enhancements in the graphical department, this game still holds up.
