On multiple levels, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation fails miserably.
-
The premise is certainly unique and brimming over with potential, but the execution is so lazy and ham-fisted if it were a killer it would have shot itself in the foot. Shame really. [Official UK Xbox Magazine]

Ubisoft's game would have gone over much better had they given us more freedom to use the team at hand for better purposes, and not stuck us with only so many puzzles to solve or obvious hints at what needs to be found where. Furthermore, the game simply isn't fun to play, using a clunky interface.
-
TotalGames.netGameplay progresses at a frustratingly slow pace, and it seems the most rudimentary powers of deduction have been substituted for the need to find a small piece of evidence hidden away in the least likely place.

Official Xbox MagazineA clunky interface is your gateway to placeholder text, graphical glitches, and other telltale signs of simply not giving a crap.[March 2005, p.84]
-
The flaws really hit home: the senseless randomness of matching DNA data and the unchallenging routine of tracking down clues.
-
CSI is so boring that it almost makes you want to kill yourself so you can be just like the dead bodies in the game.

DerrickJan 3, 2005This game isn't going to blow you away with graphics or intense gameplay, but if you're a fan of the show, its worth at least a rental.
