  1. GameZone
    80
    With the exception of the bugs that I mentioned, this game is compelling. When you feel the need to play a game in any spare moment (bugs and all) you know that it's a good game.
  2. Gaming Nexus
    80
    The game has its fair share of aggravating glitches, but manages to simulate the feel of the show and offer up a substantial crime scene experience at the same time.
  3. Gamezilla!
    79
    This is definitely one for the mystery and adventure gaming crowds, but may quickly become a novelty for gamers of other genres.
  4. Cheat Code Central
    60
    Even if all the bugs were fixed it would still not be a very deep and engrossing game. It's nothing more than an interactive version of the TV show, and possibly even less exciting.
  5. IGN
    60
    If you are extremely patient, a fan of the show, and are willing to stomach and fight through the bugs, then this might be worth your time. With four cases and about 12-15 hours of gameplay (plus all the loading time), you'll have at least a weekend to occupy yourself.
  6. Adventure Gamers
    50
    If the numerous technical problems are fixed, this is definitely a game that would-be detectives will want to pick up. Until then, most players will want to take a pass.
  7. Computer Gaming World
    0
    System-wide bugs, which range from the entertaining (my character did a jumping jack each time he left his office) to the annoying (pathfinding issues) to the aggravating (frequent desktop crashes). [Jan 2005, p.106]

    I love the law and order games, but law and order criminal intent is slow between scene changes and parts of the evidence keeps flashing on I love the law and order games, but law and order criminal intent is slow between scene changes and parts of the evidence keeps flashing on my screen and I've re-started it so many times I'm frustrated and ready to delete it from my computer and I have both patches on too.… Expand
