What our customer's say!

"WORSED GLITCH AND BUG PROBLEM EVER!!!!", I am personally shocked and very disappointed with this game!! i have all the other law and order games, absolutely love them! play them more regularly than any of my other games and i was really looking forward to owning this one. im not really a criminal intent fan but i wasnt a law and order fan until i played the games now i love it, i was hoping the same could be said for criminal intent but that would have to actually involve me playing it!!!! it is impossible!!!

first when i tried to install it it kept saying there was a package error!! once i got passed that i began playing it, though the different style of this l&O game was intriguing but at the same time annoying as i preferred the original L&O games engine.anyway i got to a few points in the game where gorien would run and stick in an ungoable direction, this happened about 6 times!!!! i found a patch on the net which fixed this, BUT screwed up the navigation on my computer!! it acted like a virus even though its not! i then got to an interview at a bar lounge and the game continually crashed every time i went to get the recipt!! i figured out that if you insert the first disc instead the game began running smooth (well smoother, its still choppy and feels like its about to stuff up any minute!) but by inserting the first disc, i could no longer SAVE!!!!

im pretty dedicated to trying to get games to work, god, there have been so many ive played with problems and glitches or crashes (even the other law and order games crash in the most annoying spot!) but this is just to much!!!, trust me when i say avoid this game like the plague!!! whether
your a fan or not, its not worth spending the money on something that youll only get about 30 minutes of play time with, and there isnt a person in the world that would have the tolerance to endure the crashes and glitches in this game!!!

you were warned!

"Its fun", Game is fun, but it seems to freeze a lot, and the clues can be difficult to access.

"Stick with the CSI games", If the TV show games are your thing then I recomend sticking with the CSI Las Vegas games. They flow better and the stories are far more interesting.

"game issues", Amazon was fast with sending my game to me. I love these games, but the game itself has many issues. The video is really bad. It's not my video card my husband has checked to make sure of that. I have just about every other Law and Order games and also CSI ones. They are the best.

"Huge disappointment", I've played all of the CSI games and the three L&O games prior to this one and, man, was I let down by this. It's a huge resource hog - it took almost 10 minutes to install the thing and it took even longer to uninstall it. When the installation is complete it automatically sends a registration (to whom and with what information is unknown - a major privacy violation) without giving the opportunity to say no. The game play isn't intuitive at all and doesn't follow the same conventions established in the earlier offerings. The PDA thing is a pain in the [...], there's no right-click functionality, limited options in terms of configuration (cannot play it in other than full screen), and NO INSTRUCTIONS! Not happy at all with this.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Bugs and Frustration Await You", I'd never played the Law & Order series games before this one, until then I had played only the CST series so that was all I had to compare it to. While Law & Order does a good job of trying to distinguish itself from CSI - one way it does this is by requiring the player to choose a "tone" in which to interview suspects (sympathetic, interogation, straightforward, etc.) thereby varying the level of information you get out of the suspects. Even this, however, becomes tiresome after a few suspects and a few questions.

This game is so filled with bugs that it is too frustrating to even play. One bug is that when directing Detective Goren on where to walk, he often gets "stuck" and will jog in place or worse, jog into a wall repeatedly rather than go where you are directing him to go.

All in all this game is too frustrating. Save your money.

"Crash-o-rama", After 3 months I finally completed all four cases. I had to step awaaaaaay from the computer many many times to avoid throwing it out a window. I know, I know, don't kill the messenger. The game would be wonderful if not for the fact that it randomly CRASHES and every footstep has to be saved or potentially lost forever. Legacy sucked every ounce of fun out of the Law & Order series with this one, but my own sheer determination made me finish the cases. I hope they fix the problems with the next one. I think I'll read the reviews before buying it.

"Do not buy this game!! Too many bugs!", I purchased this game recently, and I wish that I had read the reviews first... I have also experienced serious problems with the game. Many bugs... Several(10-15)minutes with a black screen between scenes! I wasted soooo much time attempting to play the game... and then it just completely crashed on me! I would have enjoyed this game if it were not for all the bugs! If it were not for all of the problems with this game, I'm sure that I would have solved all of the cases already... I preferred the CSI games that I purchased last year... and now I have pre-ordered the new CSI 3 game... I hope that there aren't any glitches or bugs like the new Law and Order- peice of crap. What a waste of money!

"Great Premise but Awful Implementation", This game is based on the popular TV show Law & Order - Criminal Intent. You take on the role of Detective Robert Goren tracking down criminals and bringing them to justice.

I love this TV series, and I also have enjoyed previous Law & Order games. I thought this would be a perfect match for me and my interests, and in fact I made plans to do a full walkthrough for the game.

If I hadn't made those plans, I wouldn't have lasted more than 15 minutes in this game. As it is, I still haven't finished my walkthrough because the game is so incredibly frustrating. I'm playing the game on a very robust system that I have played *hundreds* of other games on to write up reviews. It is most definitely not a machine issue here - it is a game issue.

The premise is that you are in essence doing the things in the TV series. This means there is no courthouse scenes, like in Law & Order (the original). In Criminal Intent, the show is all about understanding the criminal mind, figuring out what happened and getting them to confess.

First, character movement is awful. Your character gets stuck on doors, stuck on walls, stuck on other people, and just stands there twitching like a madman. You have to keep moving around until you can get him in the exact right spot to interact with the object you wish. Sometimes he'll randomly throw his arms straight out in a "I can fly!!" movement.

The game crashes. Often. Save every 5 minutes if you don't want to lose your data.

The map menu buttons sometimes become disabled. You lose the ability to scroll up or down. This gets you stuck on half the map area for a while. In addition, there's a strange diagonal-arrow button on the map that, when you press it, reveals hidden areas that you shouldn't know about yet. Since there is no warning that this is some sort of a cheat, it affects your gameplay.

There's a new interrogation mode where instead of choosing specific things to ask, you instead choose a "style of speaking" - for example you can be straightforward, or empathtic, or flattering, or so on. This is nice in theory. In practice it is AWFUL. There are times that you choose empathetic and the character says something REALLY cruel. You just watch it like a train wreck with your mouth wide open. At least, if you screw up, all you have to do is walk away for a few minutes and then return again. The person seems to have completely forgotten how much you upset them. Also, there are times that asking a question makes the person respond in a way that makes no sense. The game sort of expects you to use a certain order and if you happen to choose a different order, the game doesn't account for it. For example, in one situation you ask a question in one way and the person lies. So then you press them on the question saying "why did you lie?" If you choose to just press them in the first place, you still say "why did you lie?" even though the person didn't lie at all.

Certainly there were good intentions here. The graphics are reasonably good. The gameplay theory is good. However, whoever was assigned to program this had SERIOUS problems - and the quality control is pretty much completely missing. This is a game that could have used another 6-10 months in development to work out all of these quite serious issues.


"Bugs destroy this game!!!", I'll keep this short and sweet. Do not bother wasting money on this game. Bugs completely destroy the playability and enjoyment of this game, and the developer still has not addressed it! The game has been out for 4 months as I write this, and they still haven't taken any steps to fix it! Other reviewers say patience will get you past this. Baloney! Why would you play a game with huge glaring flaws? Supporting the developers of such games just encourages them to release shoddy flawed games before they're finished in order to cash in on them! Stand up for your rights and don't purchase this garbage!
