WASTE OF MONEY!!!

I was so excited when I found out that they were coming out with Law & Order Criminal Intent but it turned out to be a BIG dissapointment. After installing the game and watching the beginning scene the game just stopped working after that. The entire screen was black and all I saw were the characters. I know I have the latest version of Direct X because all of my Sims games require it but that didn't matter the game still refused to work properly. Save your money and buy yourself something thats actually worth it!

Wish I hadn't spent $30 bucks on it

I LOVE Law & Order. I watch the show all the time and I have the other 3 games that are currently out. I've played them all. Each generation of games seems to get a little better in regards to the programming and manueverability (I KNOW I spelled that wrong!). This game was a complete disappointment! I experienced almost all the same bugs as some of the other reviewers mentioned.

In fact, when holding all the Law & Order games up in comparision to the CSI games, they are seriously lacking in both enjoyment and graphics. I would recommend all the CSI's to anyone who even remotely liked these Law & Order games. I don't watch the show, but I love the games. Can't wait until they come out with more! I seriously hope the writers and programmers get their heads out of their butts and start creating the games I know they are capable of!!

Too many bugs!

Although I was able to play the first two games in the series without problems, and although I have updated drivers, and my computer meets all of the necessary requirements, I couldn't get past one minute of game play without the game freezing or shutting down. Way too many bugs and no support online. I would avoid this one.

Oh the Agony . . . .

I was very excited about this game but after TRYING to play it I was just as excited to uninstall it and play something else! Grissom sounds like he is about asleep, he walks into walls, disco dances and what's up with all the characters standing up and flinging out their arms? Is this a secret society or something? Sometimes the people disappear all together. Where do they go? Not to mention locking up frequently (and yes, my system does meet the requirements!) If I hadn't paid good money for this, it would be comical. I'm sure the story line is good, but I won't try or buy another L&O game until there are patches. Sorry.

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.

Please save yourself the aggravation!

I am not new to adventure gaming and have a PC fully loaded and capable of handling EVERY other game I've tried. This one was so full of bugs that I snapped the CD in half out of sheer frustration. There are no patches available yet for the MULTITUDE of problems. Until there are, please don't waste your money!

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!

This game is the pits

The Most Glitches in a Game I have Ever Played

Listen, I am a HUGE fan of Law and Order and their games, but this one was by far a HUGE disappointment. The first time I tried to play the game the main character wouldn't even walk in the direction I pointed to. I decided to go online and find an update to this game that might help, and it did, but in no way solved the problems. I had multiple crashes, problems, and frustrations over this. The graphics themselves are mediocre, the lack of any court case also was depressing. While I realize the court is not as much involved in the Criminal Intent spin-off, it is one of the best portions of the other games and is not included at all in this one. The challenges to find evidence are hard, and some of the puzzles are pretty much unbearable...especially when the mouse click is messed up frequently due to the glitches and the general poor crafting of this game. While the game had a fun factor, it is overrun by bad craftmanship and constant game play problems. I sure hope this does not put the nail in the coffin of all Law and Order games because believe me the other games are fun. The best of course was the Justice is Served game. In short, this game needed an extreme makeover, new creativity, and better programming. Save your money, and pray they come out with another worthy Law and Order game, because this my friend...is not at all worthy of the title.

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.
