I would give this game zero stars if I could. I thoroughly enjoyed CSI: Dark Motives, so I thought CSI: NY would be the same. It feels like a dumbed down version of it. Its as if someone took an easy child's game and skinned it with CSI. The game is linear without giving you the option of what path to take next. The puzzles are too easy but annoyingly time consuming. The player does NO real detective work, unless you call "hidden objects" and "find the differences" investigating. The stories seemed quite interesting but I could only suffer half way into the second murder. The music production was great and the voice acting is a bit better than it was in Dark Motives.
