    Criminal Expert is an immersive FMV experience. Moreover, the setting is fantastic and the cinematic is top-notch. Accordingly, it is tough to put down. However, repetitive action reduces its replay value.

    The ambition of Criminal Expert is high and I love a lot of what it tries to do in terms of mixing FMV with actual detective-styled gameplay. The narrative is intriguing and the dialogue effective. But the restrictions it puts on the tasks in hand, along with the ‘three strikes and you're out’ pressure are not good.
