A proposta dele é completamente diferente dos demais jogos da Rockstar, com o protagonista sendo um homem da lei e resolvendo casos como um investigador da polícia de L.A., A história do jogo é rica em detalhes e profundidade, cada cena de crime é única e o sistema de pistas é bem elaborado, por outro lado os interrogatórios não saem perdendo, sendo extremamente necessários para o progresso no jogo, neste podemos contar com a expressão facial dos interrogados, o que pode muitas das vezes entregar se o mesmo está mentindo ou não, a qualidade das expressões faciais neste game são de fato incríveis! Valendo citar também o ótimo trabalho ao representar a cidade de L.A, com direito a um colecionável focado nos pontos turísticos da cidade! Este com certeza valeu cada minuto jogado e certamente mais um 100% de peso para minha biblioteca!… Expand

Noire first came out in 2011 I fell in love immediately with it and it offered me a fantastic time, so as you can imagine I was very pleased when the remaster was announced. Thankfully as far as remasters go L.A. Noire is a very good addition and whilst it doesn’t have major changes you can definitely see the improvements that have been made. What makes L.A. Noire stand out is its detective style gameplay and once again it shines through brightly here and at times it can feel more responsive than before. I also noticed that the gun mechanics in the game had seen some improvements, and the more fluid action makes the guns make more of an impact. The biggest change in the game is when you go into interrogation mode and the changes to this mode are very good because it makes interrogating a lot less confusing, which means you don’t get frustrated at all. I did however get a little frustrated when it came to the photo mode and the main reason for that is that it puts too many restrictions on the mode. I was also hoping for some changes to the open world, but unfortunately that didn’t happen and it can still feel lifeless in some places. They have however included more collectibles for you to collect and this definitely gives the game some replay value, which is great because once you start playing you don’t want the fantastic story to end. The presentation side of the game is better than ever. Visually the game has seen some significant improvements and at times can look great. The sound design has also seen some improvements over the original and everything sounds clearer and on point, which is great. At the end of the day if you were a fan of the original L.A. Noire then I fully recommend that you get this version and play it again because in my opinion it definitely does enough to warrant a purchase again. If you’ve never played L.A. Noire before then you’re in for a treat and I recommend that you play this version of the game because things are more crisper here. As far as remasters go it’s a pretty decent affair and once again L.A. Noire gets a massive recommendation from me.… Expand

   El mejor juego de detectives que ha salido hasta el momento con una historia que nos habla de los ángeles de la época en cada caso mas que deEl mejor juego de detectives que ha salido hasta el momento con una historia que nos habla de los ángeles de la época en cada caso mas que de nuestro protagonista, con unas mecánicas simples que pese a no evolucionar a lo largo de el titulo casi en ningún momento este se te hace repetitivo. Técnicamente hay que destacar la tecnología facial de la cual dependes para poder realizar un interrogatorio de manera correcta ya que gracias a la expresión que pongan tendras que deducir si mienten o dicen la verdad. Juego que recomiendo a todos los amantes de las historias policíacas.… Expand

   Considering the hellish development this game went through its a miracle the game is as good as it is. While nothing to blow your socks offConsidering the hellish development this game went through its a miracle the game is as good as it is. While nothing to blow your socks off the main story was compelling enough to keep me interested. And the actual detective work off putting all the pieces together and solving a case was very interesting if not always engaging and is definitely something id like to see explored in a similar game or a sequel if such a thing could even happen now. Where the game lacks is in any sort of compelling side actives or good gunplay and an ending that left me disappointed. L.A. Noire is a very flawed game but if a big open world detective game interest you its defiantly worth a try. just be warned that what game play you do get you'll probably be sick of it towards the end.… Expand

   Before I get to my thoughts I do want to say that for the current price of $39.99 L.A. Noire is totally worth it and if you never got aroundBefore I get to my thoughts I do want to say that for the current price of $39.99 L.A. Noire is totally worth it and if you never got around to playing the original version then I double down on my previous statement. When Noire first came out it was coined for being revolutionary in terms of character movement and body language. From what I remember not a lot was said about how the game played. I think a lot of people (including myself) thought this was a kind of GTA spin off. It especially seemed that way from the screen shots back then. I say back then like it was a long time ago but it wasn't. I just think that between then and now the gaming industry has changed considerably, almost like a growth spurt. Quickly out dating games that were only made months prior. In my opinion pacing is L.A. Noire's biggest problem. Solving cases, and cop chasing sounds like a blast but the solving part can be quite a slog sometimes. Part of solving cases is interrogating suspects. This is where the "revolutionary" movement and body language came in. By looking at a suspects face you are supposed to determine whether they are lying or telling the truth. In the original I think the main 3 options were good cop, doubt, and accuse. They are now good cop, bad cop, and accuse. By looking at the suspects face after asking a question you need to play close attention to not only what the suspect says but body language and face movement after they say anything at all. This is where it falters a little bit I think. Unless i was sitting about a foot away from my T.V I had a really hard time knowing when a suspect was telling the truth or lying, and unless I had the right evidence I would sometimes end up kind of falling the interrogation prompting me to go back to a certain crime scene to search for more clues or evidence. Effectively making into quite a slog. To be quite honest the new version doesn't do a much better job in that aspect. The stories for the most part are really interesting, and it made me want to keep playing despite mistakes I had made. For the most part if it wasn't for that kind of thing happening quite often this game would have a much higher score from me. Normally I would never tell anyone to use a guide on your first play through but in this case I say go for it. It is still worth playing just for the stories inside each case.… Expand

   Especially considering it originally came out in 2011, I was impressed that playing through LA Noire on the Nintendo Switch amazed me all overEspecially 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. (Read our original LA Noire review.) 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.The interrogation system is still my favourite part of solving a crime in LA Noire, and there’s a unique challenge in reading a suspect’s face and determine if they’re lying to you or not. The reason that really works is because of the stellar performances from the actors, which are captured down to every grimace and wrinkle. Watching one of the countless well-realized characters speak with a slightly lopsided mouth or twitch one of their eyebrows for just a moment, combined with a smart script, makes them truly feel like real people. I’m not sure I’ve played another game that does this quite so well.… Expand
