It's quality, if not a little short lived. Not spent too much time with the game, but saw enough of everything of the different stages to say your mileage may vary depending on if you think it's worth the high price of admission.
The presentation is superb, graphics are some of the sharpest I've seen. Gameplay wise the locomotion running arm swinging they went with gives a great sense of the chase, realised on another level with great fist fighting, which I think is the best melee fighting in VR. The action is weird mix of 3rd person move, cover, first person VR gunplay, which works alright because you've got the rockstar loud voiced characters kicking of a sense of tension and urgency in your typical scripted sequence. The driving is really cool if you like the whole VR is everything, you steer with motion control, grab the radio and handbrake turn. It's all kind of messy, but it creates a sense of hectic very of the time. I didn't see enough of the interrogation scenes to comment, but I would guess from the interactions I had earlier in the game that they're very well presented, and that they are no less than the original release that people found to be the best part of the game.
There's a lot to like, but it's subjective. Arm swinging, the driving, in and out action, while I enjoy all that, many don't. My guess is that they made design choices to create the immersion, and with the wider arc of seeing what sticks for further projects down the line, it has that feel to it.
It's hard not to recommend because of the overall quality, but at £25 you're definitely paying the VR premium. Any other existence it's worth £15 because of the cut down length of the game.

Is this the LA Noire the VR case files you are talking about?
Been on my radar since it was fist amounted, I have rather insane back catalogue of games to get through and I can see my self playing skyrimVR for quite some time too.
But I will get this one day, I loved LA Noire, and this in FULL vr I imagine to be amazing
