Customer Reviews
Best CSI game yet!
After reading the last
person's review, I too have to say that I had a bit of trouble
installing the game as in the autoplay wouldn't come up and I had to
prompt it and then wait five to ten minutes for it to load. It was a bit
irritating, but it was eventually installed. You do have to check the
SP version of your computer though (I don't really know what this MEANS,
but if you have Windows XP, you need SP3 and if you have Vista, the
game is only supported under SP1) before buying the game, though! With
that being said, here is my review of the game.
I thought it was
by far the best CSI game yet. I've played them all multiple times and
was really excited for the release of this one, especially after the
disappointment that came from CSI: NY's seek and find nonsense. The
graphics are a LOT more advanced and if you have the latest graphics
card for your computer, they are going to come up really well. Be warned
though: you really have to WORK in this game. When you are looking for a
fingerprint, it isn't outlined in white like it used to be. Granted if
you pass over the space where the fingerprint is, the cursor will turn
into a blue toolbox letting you know that it's there, but you have to
scan the entire surface of items to find that print. Also, when you go
to Brass for a warrant/interrogation request, you will always need
supporting evidence to back your claim and you have to choose from your
evidence what ties to your reasoning. When you're interrogating a
suspect, you can often catch someone in a lie by providing this evidence
as backup for your question.
The cases are highly unique and are
all packed with twists and turns, especially the last one! In my past
experience, the last case in CSI games usually ties the other 4 cases
together, but case 5 in this was completely unique which I loved.
Overall, the game was excellent. It was a long wait for it, but it was
well worth it! I highly recommend it.
Fun
Game Similar to the Other CSI Games
I've played all of the CSI
games and enjoyed all of them - the one glaring exception being the CSI:
NY game. CSI: Deadly Intent is one of the best. While most of the
others were noticeably buggy, I did not notice any bugs in this game.
Graphics in the game are improved, although could still be better. The
stories were fun - not as long as they could have been, but still
entertaining.
The major downside is the cases in this game are
notably less challenging than previous games. I played through the
entire game without once having to rely on a walkthrough, while all of
the previous games required at least referencing a walkthrough, or in
some cases relying heavily on one. The game seemed fairly short - maybe
1-2 hours of game play per case. This game also includes mini games for
checking the DNA and other evidence in the lab, which made the lab work a
little more interesting than the previous games.
Real gamers may
be a little disappointed, but fans of the show will enjoy it (note the
shout out to Warrick Brown in the game.) I would recommend this to
someone with little gaming experience who has an interest in CSI,
forensics or both, as well as those who enjoy the point and click
detective games. Overall, CSI: Deadly Intent is a fun game with room for
improvement, but worth the money. Grade: B
Pros:
*Better
graphics than previous games
*Strong storylines
Cons:
*Too
short
*Not challenging enough
Welcome
Back, CSI
I was thrilled to see the
production of CSI:Deadly Intent back in the capable hands of Telltale
Games after last year's CSI:NY fiasco. Nothing wrong with an object hunt
game, but why Ubisoft decided to reinvent a successful series I will
never know.
Anyway, this installment mirrors the changes in the
TV show at the time of its development. We've said a sad farewell to
Grissom, Warrick and Sara and hello to Agents Langston and Adams
(there's even what I consider an "in-joke" about replacements at the
beginning of Case #1). Catherine Willows is your new supervisor and
recently promoted Nick Stokes checks up on you. We have sleek, new labs
with updated equipment and very, very tough cases.
What else is
new? This time around, you'd better know why you're asking for a warrant
and why you're challenging a suspect's statements. The way you analyze
evidence is more complicated, particularly matching fingerprints (a
major sticking point for people like me who don't bother to play the
training level or read the manual ... oops). Your evaluation at the end
of a case is based on percentages and you'd better not make a mistake
along the way if you want to be perfect.
The upside? Multiple
locations to visit and search, interesting cases, hard-to-find evidence,
3-D graphics, and cut scenes and music from the TV show.
The
downside? Your forensic toolkit is limited and you can only choose what
will possibly work. You do not get a spoken evaluation from your
supervisor but a list of percentages for skill, thoroughness and ...
cunning? There's also a list of "awards" that seem more appropriate in a
Nancy Drew game (I love the Nancy Drew games; it's just not a good fit
for a CSI game). And I miss Griss LOL
