    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.

    The stories are good, the voice work is strong but the investigating parts in between tend to get a little tedious. Even with all the cool CSI crime fighting tools.
  3. Gamezilla!

    Dark Motives has somehow turned a subject ripe with gaming potential into something that is pure process and no fun, forcing you to spend all of your time doing the most mundane parts of your favorite adventure games with little or no reward.

    Brilliant! I loved the first game but it was a little easy and the cases too short. Dark motives improves on the first in every way: longer, harder cases with more twists and more tools to play with. A great game! Hopefully they'll make many more like it.… Expand

    I've played this game for over a year now and I am completely fixated with it. It is amazing- well worth every penny. And having the added edition of the real actors giving voice overs you feel like you've been put into the game- it is well worth playing!… Expand
