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!
Excellent game

This was an EXCELLENT game in my opinion. The game is about 3 times longer than all the previous Law & Order games. It has 4 different cases to work on, and the story lines are fantastic. Each of these story lines are about equally as long as a whole previous Law & Order game! The game was not too difficult, but not easy either. There were a few quite challenging puzzles. The game had great environments, and TONS of characters. Unlike the previous games, it doesn't let you collect irrelovent inventory items which was nice. The only negative thing about this game were that there were a few bugs. Sometimes he would not walk in the direction you clicked, and would be stuck in a corner of the room. Once the game was restarted, it would be OK again. To me, this is a very minor problem if you have a little patience since the game was so great. Definately worth the money since it is such a LONG game!!!
This game is the pits

The game has too many bugs, frequent crashes and majority of the time even when you have all your information you can not obtain required search warrants etc. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this piece of garbage

This game has some really amazing voice acting in it and not only from the tv stars, either. Some of the puzzles were hard to figure out, I think they could've been explained better. Overall, I thought this was a really fun game. Choosing the emotion that Goren asks the question in is a nice touch, something that should've been thought of a long time ago for detective games.
Game is good, TOO MANY BUGS

If you enjoyed the other L&O games, you'll probably like this one too. However, this game has a lot of graphics problems and it's crashed on me twice. I have an nVIDIA GeForce 4 graphics card with 64MB memory, but the game still crashes on me even after I lower the graphics options. When I first got the game I had to call customer support (NOT TOLL FREE) and be on the line with them for over 30 minutes before they figured out that I need to download OLDER drivers for my graphics card.
I got this game as soon as it came out becuase I loved the other L&O games. If you can wait, give them time to fix the bugs and maybe release a patch or two. There isn't even an FAQ on their website for this game yet.
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!
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.
Needed an exterminator for all the BUGS!

Slap my wrist for buying this game new. I should have waited 6 months. I couldn't find any support online for the bugs and when I finally got everything working, I forgot to turn my virus software off (plus you can't have a screensaver on either & you have to turn off background animations & shadows within the game) and it jacked up my computer BIG TIME. Wait awhile for them to fix this before buying it unless you like being ticked off.
Can't get enough of Law and Order - any series

I just happened to be in Best Buy when I noticed this game and immediately snatched it up. It could definitely use a patch for the jerky motions of the characters, including Goren. I would have liked to seen better graphics (like in the Dead on the Money L & O game). The scenery is quite detailed but the characters are not. Having said that, the storylines for the cases are superbly written and it makes me feel like I am watching the story unfold in one of the TV episodes. It will be a tremendously fun game to play and enjoy once the bugs are gone.

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.
