not enough content, too short.
I finished the game in 1 evening! I installed it and completed all 5 crime scene investigations in less than 8 hours. There is little thinking required. <

Join the CSI team
This game is based on the popular original CSI show, the actors from the cast provide the voices. The premise is to solve a series of crimes along with the CSI team. Clues are located by sliding over the crime scene then using the appropriate method to interpret the evidence. Witnesses and suspects are questioned using prompts provided, the answers are added to the physical evidence and used to obtain warrents and ultimately solve the crimes. <

>The graphics are well done, the plot lines are interesting and the game runs quite well, without the hangups or crashes I have experienced with some other Mac platform games. So why only 4 stars? It is possible to locate clues simply by rolling over the scene until the clue reveals itself, wrong choices of tools are met with only a prompt as are other wrong guesses, which 'dumbs down' the experience. The game can be solved by persistence, intelligence only makes the process smoother and quicker. The biggest problem, however, is that once the game is solved it is done a problem with all games of this puzzle genre. Unlike the more complicated MYST or Seventh Guest games this one is not sophisticated enough to make going back over solved puzzles to enjoy the experience or challenging enough to make this a long term project. <

>Still it is a fun game, a good way to spend a few hours. If the more difficult puzzle games have frustrated you or you are new to this type of game, then this one is perfect for you. If you are a fan of the CSI series this is a good way to spend sometimes between episodes but if you are a serious puzzle gamer and looking for a real challenge this one is not for you.
