My grandchildren could play this game...

As everyone else has already testified, this game is a joke... I finished one case while mindless thinking about my grocery list. I have three grandchildren ages 18 mos to 6 yrs. Any one of them could've played this game. While the concept was promising, the reality was very disappointing. Activision would do well to spend more time and money on developing this game if they ever hope to stand up against the likes of L & A and CSI (both series of games in which I am a huge fan!!) Try again, Activision!!

This game is the biggest waste of money ever, Activision should pay you to play it. If you are looking for this type of game I highly recommend any of the CSI series games. The CSI series is excellent and each CSI case takes longer to solve than the entire Cold Case game.

This game wouldn't even install on my xp, I coudn't even play the game. I bought it used so it didn't cost as much but still it was a waste of money. Luckily the person is refunding my money and I can buy something else!!!

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!!!

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.

DONT WASTE YOUR $$$$$

Listen to the others when they say this game is bad... I wish i would have seen them first. This game is so rudimentary- it basically points you in the direction of the clues and outcomes- there is no searching and finding like an adventure game, you canot walk around and look at things- you can only point and click. This was a total waste of my $$$ and I plan on returning this item!

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.
