70I found the suspect/witness interviewing a bit tiresome at times and on occasion found myself wondering who I should talk to next, but then reminded myself that this is a crime investigation adventure where suspect/witness interviewing is a vital element.
-
69A decent game if you dig mystery fiction and have an itch to use forensic tools.
-
68Very linear. You will not be able to progress until something is collected or someone is questioned.
-
The five cases that you solve are pretty ordinary, and you spend way more time chasing down false leads than figuring out what happened and why.
-
As an episode, this would be quite entertaining to watch once or twice. As a game, however, it doesn't manage to get the job done, falling way too short on actual substance and gameplay.

CSI: Miami may not be much more than a glorified interactive story book, but it's still easy to recommend.
-
62Ubisoft's true crime is in trotting out lame production values... again, for the third time. [March 2005, p.74]
-
60Given that we have seen the same formula twice before and the Miami crew are a bit dull this iteration is only likely to appeal to diehards.
-
60It's a copy of a previously released game that wasn't that great to begin with, but with the less-engaging characters of the Miami cast and a series of mysteries that also aren't as interesting.
-
The whole thing's about as free-roaming as a man in a straightjacket locked in a padded cell, and about as fast moving as a glacier.
-
It doesn't require much thinking but since CSI has been doing the thinking for viewers for so many years maybe the majority of the game players will require this level of babysitting.
-
The poorly designed game logic, lackluster characters and frustrating pixel hunts are flaws that can't be ignored. Only dedicated fans of the Miami-based show might find this title worth the price of admission.
-
45Point-and-click adventures can be great, but more often than not they end up being tedious and mundane. CSI: Miami falls squarely into the latter category, despite the high production values and being so faithful to the source material.
-
It is living proof (among many others) that in order to successfully top a sequel (or, in this case, an otherwise successful sequel), you have to work twice as hard. And that is something that the developers simply failed to do.
-
40This is adventure gaming for lazy gamers who don't mind being led around on a leash.
-
40For slightly more money, those players could pick up one of the season box sets, in which even the commentaries would provide more consistent entertainment than this dry drama.
-
The game's dialogue system almost resembles a tree, except you basically just click on any of the questions until they're all gone. Interrogation at its, um, finest. [June 2005, p.58]

MichelleL.9I think it is a great game, all except I have the hardest time getting warrants.

AlexisG.0Another piece of junk from Ubi Soft. Terrible waste of time and money.
