Review:
You can
dream about a great modernization of your own house and at the same time you
can make a model of what you want to see and understand if it is exactly what
you need. Then you can book tickets or order food. The only friend that helps
you is your home PC. And with every new day people want more and more features
to be available per click. Recently a new entertainment has been added. Let’s
see what it is. Of course, you read books and watch films or plays and every
time you are projecting yourself on one of the heroes. Or even vice versa. Sometimes
you are behaving and dressing like the person from the show and the next time
you can’t prevent yourself from a shout: “Watch out! The killer is behind you”.
Today
you’ll gonna put a brand new role on. What would you say about being a detective?
A CSI detective in New York. This
game is a great fun for all the fans of the CSI series. And no matter what city you choose – you will be always
involved into detective cases from your toes up to head.
If you are
a fan of this show, just stop reading and download the new game where you can
see all the heroes that you like. Or may be you are a game fan who likes
solving such cases? Then you got one!If
you are still deciding if this game is worth downloading, just follow me.
When you
start the game you will see the intro from the original show. The persons, the
city and the music as if you were watching it on TV.Then you will see the crime scene and here is
where the story begins. This game is a mix of hidden object scenes where you have to search for the hidden
objects that are case evidences and sometimes appeared to be ridiculous. For
example, in the first case you can find a rubber duck in the list of evidences.
And there will be many of such objects.
You will
investigate the case like as if you were in a real life. You need to check forpeople who may know something, and the way you
will ask the questions will influence the whole process of investigation. So
you need to choose what questions to ask first and what objects to show.
Otherwise your conversation may turn into a never-ending speech. The progress
bar at the bottom of the right shows how good you are. And, of course, such
games have no time limits, so you can choose the questions as long as you want.
After you
have collected all the things and already know all the answers you will have to
solve mini puzzles. They are very
interesting and involve all your logic, that is why you need sometime to understand
what you have to do. For example, you need to make a path from one part of the
picture to the other without touching any other objects. Or investigate what
kind of knife was used in the murder case. And even make a photo-robot to make
a facial recognition. You can always use Hint option to understand the way of
acting.
The first mini-game was too difficult for me and
I skipped it. For casual game player it is quite difficult to understand why it
is not possible to pass mini-game from the 5th attempts. Unfortunately,
you can use skip option only twice per case. You will understand it when you
visit morgue and need to find the differences between the two X-rayed parts of
the victim’s body. The only thing to manage this taskis to click. And it’s great that there are no
penalties for the wrong or multiple clicking. But, unfortunately, this
influences the strategy and the whole process will become monotonous after the
second case.
So, in
general, you will play a classic quest
game and if you are a fan of this detective genre and like such kind of games,
you will enjoy it a lot. And many gamers that played computer games in the
latest 90-ies will feel the atmosphere of the past and some kind of nostalgia
for the good old games.
