CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (PC)

Crime Scene Investigation is the first game based on the popular TV series of the same name. I’ve not seen all that many episodes (yet), but I’ve seen enough to know that it’s one of the smarter detective dramas out there, and certainly with its use of techniques such as actually following a bullet’s eye view (if bullets had eyes) into the body in great detail, the most visually arresting. Having had a so-so reaction to the "Law and Order 2: Double or Nothing" game, I was a little dubious but nonetheless the game looked interesting. Featuring all the main stars of the show (thus making it a better buy for fans, I guess), CSI gives you a number of ...  Read the complete review

"We're the number two crime lab in the country. We solve crimes most labs render unsolvable. So what makes you think you belong here?" - Captain Jim Brass CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is the shiny new PC game from Ubi Soft, based around the highly successful TV series of the same name. For those of you unfamiliar with the programme, let me explain: my review of the game will make a whole lot more sense if you know what CSI is all about. Admittedly, it does not take the brains of Sherlock Holmes to figure out that it is crime programme, but CSI is far more than just your average whodunit. It is also a "whydunit" and a "how ...  Read the complete review

If you enjoy CSI shows, as I do, and are fascinated by the techniques and detective work in the show, you will enjoy this CSI PC game even more. In the game you are guided by the characters of the show to solve 5 cases by visiting crime scenes, collecting evidence (in the form of swabs, plaster casts, DNA, fingerprints, voice recordings etc. as in the show), interviewing witnesses and suspects, connecting the suspects, crime scene and victim, visiting Doc Robbins in the morgue and getting warrants. The graphics are very reasonable: the characters look like they should and the crime scenes are realistic. The voices can become irritating at times as ...  Read the complete review
