Editorial Reviews :
In CSI: Crime Scene Investigation you become a CSI agent working alongside Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows and the rest of the CSI Las Vegas team. As a member of the team you question witnesses, examine crime scenes, and analyze evidence utilizing the latest in forensic equipment.
All eight cast members provided their voice and likenesses for the game; their in-game counterparts look and sound just like the characters in the show. Digital artists used pictures of CSI sets to perfectly recreate the labs and offices of the show. The script was written by Max Allan Collins, author of three CSI novels and the bestselling book Road to Perdition. Ubi Soft Entertainment consulted with Las Vegas Senior Crime Scene Analyst Daniel Holstein to validate the accuracy of the CSI forensics referenced in the game. This is as real as it gets.
Buyer Reviews :
I bought this game yesterday because I'm a huge fan of the show and I love pc games. Although I was blown away that the actual cast members did the voices for the characters in the game and the games we're 'solvable', there were quite a few technical problems that I had with the game that result in me only give 3 stars out of a possible 5.
First, the crimes (3 murders, 1 arson, 1 kidnapping) were pretty easy to solve. I solved the crimes in about 5 hours. Pretty quick for a pc game.
Second, you, as a detective, didn't get to move around too much. Basically you stood in the center of a crime scene or a investigation location, and scanned a room looking for clues to click on. It would have had a more realistic feel if there was more mobility.
Third, it was pretty easy to miss clues. When your mouse scans over a clue, it changes from blue to green. However, the area of color change is so small, it's easy to miss the color change or you have to get the mouse icon just right to be able to click on it.
Fourth, a lot of time wasted in the game by characters repeating themselves. For example, you will have to visit the lab on MANY occasions in order to analyze clues. Everytime you visit the lab, you have to wait to be welcomed by Greg Sanders. This can get to be annoying especially when your eager to analyze clues.
Finally, the characters portrayed in the game did resemble the actual cast of the television series, however, George Eads character, Nick Stokes, in my opinion, looked nothing like him. Now, some may think that petty, but I adore Eads!! That deserved the loss of one star from the rating alone! Hee hee.
Okay, enough about the bad stuff. The sound and music of the game was great. The dialogue was awsome (I still can't believe the cast did it!). And this was a nice way for fans of the show to get to solve crimes just like on television.
I recommend this game for true diehard fans, but don't expect too much. I think this was a decent attempt, but there is much more room for improvement and hopefully the makers of the game will read these reviews and take some tips to heart for future CSI games (hint hint).
