Wanted so much more...

By sjpeters57 | Review Date:
I wanted to take a break from the multi-player FPS games that I love, to immerse myself into a crime solver. Instead of quick reactions ruling, I wanted to use different parts of my brain to find clues, follow trails, eliminate suspects and nail the criminal. While CSI Hard Evidence seems like the right solution, I was entirely disappointed. I agree with the advice to rent this game if you must, but I don't place any value on it. It wasn't fun, the graphics were horrible, the dialogue was weak. If I have to say anything good - the cases were sometimes cleverly written.
What took away from my enjoyment was that at one point during a case it became obvious I had made all the right progress, and collected all the clues, but for some reason the game acted like I wasn't where I needed to be. While most cases take about 2 hours (due to extremely long scene loads) the pain sets in when you have to start over. You can't shorten the dialogue, and have to listen to it all over again. I hated that. I do think that given some more thought, the idea of a crime scene investigative game could be a lot of fun, so maybe this is a very early prototype of better things. But don't waste your money on this one.
