    L.A Noire's facial expressions are still incredible and the game shows us that not every open world game needs pure action.

    L.A. Noire is still a strange, sometimes brilliant game that you should try at least once. But if you’re returning to try and recapture what enjoyment you might have had with it six years ago, you might find yourself staring at a package that hasn’t aged well at all.

    Even with a new coat of graphical paint, L.A. Noire remains a game that adds up to less than the sum of its parts.

    The beating heart of L.A. Noire is its ability to make you feel like a 1940s detective rubbing your nose against the seedy underbelly of a city full of secrets. But those considerable charms can't hide a half-hearted port that comes with a $40 price tag to boot.

    It's hands down an awesome video game, there's no denying that. However this feels more like a port than a remaster. The game looks prettyIt's hands down an awesome video game, there's no denying that. However this feels more like a port than a remaster. The game looks pretty much identical to when it first launched. Sure it runs in higher resolution at a better frame rate but visually nothing else has changed. If you haven't played it then its a must buy but if you have then please don't waste your money on what is essentially a port.… Full Review »

    If you expect a remaster like GTA5, you will be disappointed. It's just a port from the ps3 to the ps4. The game itself is still a masterpieceIf you expect a remaster like GTA5, you will be disappointed. It's just a port from the ps3 to the ps4. The game itself is still a masterpiece as it was on the ps3. The pace is slow. It's like a murderinvestigation-simulator. You have to find clues, interrogate witnesses or suspects and make the right decisions to solve the crime. If you don't, you will face a very angry policecaptain and you can forget your promotion. In between the murdercases, you will have to deal with some streetcrimes which contain a bit more action like carchases en shootouts. Great game. You're in for a hell of a ride.… Full Review »
