Wow, I knew this game was bad when I bought it...but I didn't think it would be THIS bad!

Okay, let me start off by saying I love the CSI TV show, and I like all things crime-y...but one thing I didn't appreciate was a boring tutorial level about Grissom's missing doughnut! Plus it didn't actually help anyway, I think a 'learning on the job' tutorial would have been much better.

You are then thrown into a case which is quite boring, I'm not sure if it's particularly lengthy...or just feels that way! And although you've completed the tutorial you are still a bit unsure of the controls as it requires a bit more than the tutorial explains, but still not too hard to get the hang of. After that it's all much of a much-ness. Just going to crime scenes, collecting evidence, back to the lab questioning.

Overall, this game is a bit of a waste of time and money. Even if you are a fan of the show, you still won't like this game.

Good Points: Easy achievements (even easier if you use a walkthrough!), okay voice acting.

Bad Points: Hmm where to start! The GFX are original Xbox at best, the character models are absolutely hideous (George Eads should be suing the makers of this game because he looks nothing like that!), product placement is appaulling. Controls are stupid, who uses the D-pad anymore?!

Rent it, or buy it and trade it in after you've got the points because sadly, there's not much else to this game!

    This game is pretty bad.

    Characters and voices sound nice, but the pause between each dialogue is just ridiculous, and slows the pace of the game down immensely, which is to say that the game has an already slow pace. The gameplay itself is pret... Read Full Review
