    Though long interrogation sequences are tedious, the stories are wonderfully macabre: every character is guilty of something, and only forensic science can separate the red herrings from the incriminating evidence. [Dec 2007, p.65]

    The real disappointments is the lackluster interrogation system and the repetition of locales. If you're a CSI fan, you're probably better off just buying the DVDs of some previous seasons. But, as a rental, this is actually enjoyable enough to play through the end.

    The jury's verdict is in, and CSI: Hard Evidence has been found guilty of being boring and bland.

    For the casual gamer this is a mess with very few redeemable features beyond a few fantastic stories - throw in poor graphics, weak voice work and a longevity that will barely cover a weekend and you're left with a title that could have been so much better.

    CSI: Hard Evidence makes Phoenix Wright look like Sherlock Holmes. The game's limited cases and mind numbingly bland gameplay makes this a questionable rental, at best.

    If you're a die-hard adventure apologist with a CSI fixation then step right up, but the rest of you can put your curiosity to one side - especially at its current stupidly high price point.

    Finding any redeeming qualities in CSI: Hard Evidence is like searching for clues in a crime scene drenched in bleach.

    I really enjoyed this game for what it is. The cases are interesting and I personally almost always find a detective game entertaining and II really enjoyed this game for what it is. The cases are interesting and I personally almost always find a detective game entertaining and I am looking forward to playing some of the other games in the series. However there isn't really anything particularly good about the game. Thus I'd give it a 6 even though there are game I'd give a 7 or even an 8 that I had less fun with.… Expand

I borrowed my sister's copy to test the game out and beat the entire thing with a 'Master' level investigator on each of the five scenarios with in a combined seven hours of play. It is very tedious work of 'click, click, click, click...' and never seeming to get anyway. There is no real challenge to the game as you are given the answers to everything and can't progress with out almost all of the evidence. The game has some macabre story lines though and does make nice use of the C.S.I. crime tools. Don't buy, rent for a couple nights.… Expand
