Professional reviews from gaming critics
L.A. Noire is definitely one of the more unique games to grace the Nintendo Switch, and it brings a host of great gameplay mechanics including some Switch-speci
If, like me, you missed out in 2011 when LA Noire first launched, I highly recommend trying it now on Switch (or on PC, PS4, and XB1 where it was recently released. The Switch version feels right at home and has me clamoring that somehow Rockstar will bring more of its catalog to the console. Bully, Red Dead, and GTA, please? But LA Noire stands on its own as a testament to interactive storytelling in games. It’s a prime example of a studio getting it right without making the player feel li...
L.A. Noire's absorbing investigations and intoxicating sense of style make it an unforgettable journey through the seamy side of the City of Angels.
L.A. Noire is a landmark achievement, bridging the gap between reality and video games.

L.A. Noire is our favourite type of game, but it won't appeal to everybody. Those looking promisingly at the Rockstar logo on the game's cover should know that this is not a Grand Theft Auto-esque affair.

L.A. Noire is an interactive detective story set in the classic noir period of the late 1940's. L.A. Noire blends action, detection and complex storytelling and draws players into an open-ended challenge to solve a series of gruesome murders.
The bottom line here is that you should play L.A. Noire. It’s engaging, thoughtful, mature and currently one of a kind. Unless you’re the type who only looks for quick, dumb action from their video games I’d recommend this to just about anyone. A serious contender for game of the year.
