  1. If you love the T.V. show and/or have any interest in this kind of detective game, Law & Order: Dead on the Money is a must-purchase.
  2. There is even a low enough learning curve and relaxed gameplay mechanic that even fans of the show, ones that are not exactly computer savvy, could be sucked in.
  3. Even though I enjoyed the case more in Double or Nothing, I didn’t enjoy playing the game as much because I felt like I had done it all before.

    While Law & Order 2: Double or Nothing captures the mood and feel of the television show almost flawlessly, deep down it comes off as a slow-paced and bland adventure; it lacks excitement, action and animation.

    Could be a 9 but kind of short. Finished it in about 10 hours but you can replay in slightly different modes. Graphics/sound are good and storyline is fun. Interface is smooth as glass If you like detective type games pick it up. Expand

    Game features pictures of a real life murdered toddler, James Bulger. It was appalling what them scumbags did to this poor innocent child in 1993, it was even more appalling that they got released in 2001, and it's absolutely unacceptable to think that they are now getting publicity of this in this game. I note the game manufacturer has done a good thing and removed the images now, but really they should never have used them in the first place. Expand
