A dark and violent crime thriller set against the backdrop of 1940's Los Angeles
Amid the post-war boom of Hollywood's Golden Age, Cole Phelps, an LAPD detective is thrown headfirst into a city drowning in its own success. Corruption is rampant, the drug trade is exploding, and murder rates are at an all-time high. In his fight to climb the ranks and do what's right, Phelps must unravel the truth behind a string of arson attacks, racketeering conspiracies and brutal murders, battling the L.A. underworld and even members of his own department to uncover a secret that could shake the city to its rotten core.

Really? Why? I thought it was a decent price, just trade it in after getting platinum. There's zero replayability anyway. I was expecting £49.99 from Game lol I guess there's time for that yet

Game want £44.99 for the Switch version! They're absolute rip-off merchants! This game is just over 6 years old and AFAIK the Switch version is exactly the same as the PS3/X360 versions so it's massively overpriced

Bloody hell, that's a disgusting price right there. I think from what I read on switch they have added touchscreen and joycon functionality, not sure about anything graphics wise though. £34.99 for the PS4/XB1 version at Game, I may have to pre order from Shopto unless another pops up at a better price the next few days

Because for years i've been playing what may as well be the remaster on Steam for £5, bought the goty edition for thT price a few years back. Fair enough it's a great game, I enjoyed it alot but £30 for a re-release, to me, is taking the p***

Maybe cause other Rockstar titles are £10, GTA trilogy can be had for £15 and the graphics are good to play, great game here but terrible price, think this will drop quick, ive still got the original

Couldn't stand this game. It sounded amazing on paper, but basically came down to the thing every case. Who fidgets the most. Add to that the driving and shooting was pants.

It's a re-release for console with updated textures and graphics. It releases 14th November.
"Today, we're proud to announce new versions of the blockbuster detective thriller L.A. Noire are scheduled to release on November 14, 2017 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Alongside these three new console versions, we're taking our first steps into virtual reality with L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files, featuring seven select cases from the original game rebuilt specifically for a virtual reality experience on the HTC VIVE.
Set against the seedy and violent underbelly of 1940’s Los Angeles, L.A. Noire is the story of decorated veteran and newly minted detective Cole Phelps as he investigates an escalating series of cases inspired by real-world crimes. Each successfully solved case brings Phelps greater success, but also brings him closer to the dark criminal heart of post-war L.A.
L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files for HTC Vive delivers seven of the original engrossing, self-contained cases from L.A. Noire rebuilt specifically for virtual reality, blending breathtaking action with true detective work to deliver an unprecedented interactive experience.
L.A. Noire for the Nintendo Switch features the complete original game and all additional downloadable content, with specific enhancements including a Joy-Con mode with gyroscopic, gesture-based controls, HD rumble and new wide and over-the-shoulder camera angles, plus contextual touch screen controls for portable detective work.
L.A. Noire for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One delivers the complete original game and all additional downloadable content with a range of technical enhancements for greater visual fidelity and authenticity, including enhanced lighting and clouds, new cinematic camera angles, high resolution textures and more. Plays natively in 1080p for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, and stunning 4K for PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, these versions capture the grit and grime of the City of Angels like never before.

I loved this game but hated the end third. I won't say why.
I did manage to get all the achievements though but the vehicle one nearly, scuse the pun, drove me insane.
