  1. CSI: Hard Evidence makes Phoenix Wright look like Sherlock Holmes. The game's limited cases and mind numbingly bland gameplay makes this a questionable rental, at best.
  2. If you're a die-hard adventure apologist with a CSI fixation then step right up, but the rest of you can put your curiosity to one side - especially at its current stupidly high price point.
  3. Never once in Hard Evidence did I feel like I was participating in a murder investigation. All of the guesswork is handled for you, and there is no margin for error. Every question you ask in an interrogation leads to the correct answer, and every piece of evidence you secure at a crime scene is relevant to the case.
  4. CSI: Hard Evidence isn't a game that can be summed up by a single numbers. Instead, it's best summed up by two words and two numbers - five hours, 1,000 gamerpoints. If you buy this, the only thing that needs investigating is your head.
  5. Had this game been released at a super low budget price then perhaps credit would be given, but to expect gamers to part with their hard earned money for an afternoon's playtime is really uncalled for.
  6. Finding any redeeming qualities in CSI: Hard Evidence is like searching for clues in a crime scene drenched in bleach.

    Cheap, very low quality, boring, pointless. Unless you love the show, this is just awful.

    Nothing special but fun and simple if you need something to distract you for awhile this is something I would recommend

    I really enjoyed this game for what it is. The cases are interesting and I personally almost always find a detective game entertaining and II really enjoyed this game for what it is. The cases are interesting and I personally almost always find a detective game entertaining and I am looking forward to playing some of the other games in the series. However there isn't really anything particularly good about the game. Thus I'd give it a 6 even though there are game I'd give a 7 or even an 8 that I had less fun with. Full Review »
