Fun but a little short

This was a really fun game, except for the length. There were 7 cases overall, but they only took about 20 minutes apiece. Buy this game used, don't pay full price.

Too Short

This game was entertaining, but it was way too short. I got through all of the cases in about three hours, faster if I wouldn't have been interrupted, but the cases were entertaining. I do recommend this game if you just want to fill up a a few hours, but not if you're looking for some intellectual stimulation.

Its a shame you can't give something NEGATIVE stars...

I was really excited when I brought this game home. I love the Law and Order and CSI games, and I assumed this would be the same type of game. Oh how I wish I'd read the reviews on this site first. This game is nothing more than a poorly put together advertisement for the show Cold Case Files. The only gameplay involved is clicking on something when it pops up on the screen. A trained chimp could sucessfully finish this game in under an hour, I'm sure. If you are considering buying this game, I strongly suggest you check out the Law and Order or CSI games first. They are far superior to this peice of garbage.

Biggest waste of money

I was so excited to get this game as I love to watch the cold case files on aetv. That was my mistake. Every case in this game is based on an episode I've seen. I could play this game in my sleep! After having played the csi and law & order games I was extremely disappointed. My 12 yo special needs child could play this game and succeed. Very disappointing with no real challenges to it. Don't pay full price and if you can avoid it, don't bother buying it at all. I'm sorry I did.

trust the reviews!

believe all the reviews! i wish i had seen them before i purchased it...boring, requires no thought or skills whatsoever. each case "solved" in 10 minutes. not worth even buying it used. CSI rules!

Horrible

I had to shell out $20 for this piece of sludge. The people despicable enough to package this thing should be drawn and quartered. Repeatedly. It is 10 minutes worth of idiocy that even a comatose monkey could solve. If you value your sanity and pocketbook, please do not buy this game.

I'd give zero stars if possible.

If you are a fan of this show and watch regularly you have already seen the solutions to each of these cases. A major disappointment. Go buy a CSI, L&O, heck even a Nancy Drew adventure game, it will challenge you way more than this waste of time.

Not a CSI game

I thought it would be in the same vein as the CSI games when I bought it, and was very discipointed. I hate to admit it but I sometimes get a little stuck playing Nancy Drew games and need some help, and I finished this game in 30 minutes. It was SO easy a five year old could do it.

THE WORST GAME EVER!

This is the absolute WORST game I have ever played. It is nothing but a cheap infomercial to plug the TV show. The lab tech in the game does close to nothing and the so called computer research is so skimpy I have to laugh. Stay FAR FAR away from this bomb!!!

Cold Case Files Worst Game Ever Dont Bother

Ok I bought this game because i thought it was going to be similar to csi or law and order. This game doesnt even come close. I read the other reviews on here about how bad the game was. I wish i had listened. The game states there are 35 possible outcomes but i didnt see it. I finished the first case in 5 minutes and then i replayed it thinking there would be a different outcome because the game states 35 possibilities but the outcome was the same. I finished the whole game in less than an hour. there isnt really much playing to do and thinking involved at all. you barely collect evidence or work in the lab. this game was really a waste of time and money. All six cases dont add up to 1 case of CSI.
