This is one of those rare franchises where the game and the show that inspired it complement each other perfectly, and if you are looking for a clever investigation style adventure game then CSI: Dark Motives is the game for you. It’s everything that the first game was and more.
An excellent sequel—with better graphics, twice the length, a greater degree of difficulty. It has a few bugs (get patch 1.01) but should run fine on even minimum-specification systems.
Compared to last year's CSI game, Dark Motives is a definite improvement in every sense of the word. While many skilled gamers may find this game too easy it should be a real treat for fans of the TV that don't do much, if any, game playing.
The downside is that Dark Motives regurgitates the static, "Myst"-style point-and-click gameplay and fuzzy backgrounds of last year's CSI game. [June 2004, p.77]
Hardcore adventure players can still aquire some decent gameplay out of this title, but may find it rather simplistic due to its apparent targeting to new players to the genre.
It needs a boat load of work. More cases, more challenge, and better animation could make this game a reasonable buy. I thought Kung-Fu Theater went out in the 80's?
I used to really love adventure games, but after playing this one, I can't remember why. [Aug 2004, p.79]
