Great game for L&O fans

Wow! I love this game. If you are a L&O fan (and who isn't) you won't be able to stop playing. The game is very similar to the show -- you find a dead body and spend the first half trying to identify a suspect with Det. Lennie Briscoe as your partner (real voice of Jerry Orbach). Then you spend the next half of the game as an Assistant D.A. with Serena Southerlyn (voice of Elisabeth Rohm) trying your case in court. Lots of twists and turns to keep you on your toes. And if you don't find a suspect in time, Lt. Van Buren (voice of S. Epatha Merkerson) will take the case away from you. I still haven't won a conviction yet, but I'm getting close!

Awesome..! Must have..

Technically flawed, boring plot

First thing that hits you n this game is the incredibly slow pacing and terrible technical flaws. Once you have the game working you face what is basically an FMV game. While that isn't necissaily bad, why they used bad 3d models instead of real actors is beyond me. The 3d used for the videos could have easily been done in real time, yet they use a disjointed fmv format. The game is also extremely wasteful of system resources, the requirements are very steep for something that had been done successfully on systems half as fast as what this game needs.

Then you move on to the plot that is, at best, a bad pisode of Law and Order. This is definitely not up to the level that the show has given us.

In all, it's just not worth the aggrivation of fighting the games bugs that force to to keep replayng parts of the game until you get lucky enough to miss the bugs.

A good adventure game

I like adventure games, and I am also a fan of the Law & Order show, so I was looking forward to playing this game. I think it is pretty good, although it took me a long time to figure out some of the puzzles. They are logical, though, and not so obscure as some adventure games. I think the writing is better than average for a computer game. I didn't have any technical problems, but the computer requirements are pretty steep. All in all, it is definitely worth the money, especially for someone who likes the show.

Technically the game is a mess. Bugs, glitches and crashes plague the game from the beginning. The gameplay is horribly flawed and much of the game doesn't get right what other games have been doing right for 15 years. They use an FMV format but ditch live actors for bad pre-rendered models.

The plot is boooring. Instead of the typical way things are presented in the show, the game is almost forcively telling you to think different people did the crime when it's obvious they did not. There is no investigation, you jump through hoops the designers laid out to force gameplay mechanics on a flimsy story. None of the charectors are intriguing, they all fall flat. Everything is cliche'd and it all screams third-rate.

Cool game - just like the show.

The best part about this game is the feeling you are working with the characters. The character voices are cool. The game is set up just like the show. The story was interesting, and it was cool that I didn't know what was coming next, just like the show. There were twists in the plot.
There isn't a lot of action or fast game play - its more about solving puzzles and figuring out the story. If you like doing that while watching the show, I think you'll like this game.

Love this game!

I don't usually play computer games, but I couldn't wait to try this since I love the TV show. Now I'm addicted! Most of what you do in the game is talk to witnesses and hunt around for evidence and try to find who committed the murder in central park. I still not finished yet, but I can't stop! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes the show or who likes crime stories.

Fun game

I like the show, but I'm not a hard core fan, but I got the game any way. I was surprised that it's real fun. I like asking people questions and looking for things to pick up. Some of it is kind of hard, but it's fun to be a like a part of the tv show.

A fun game

I've been watching Law and Order for like 5 years, so I consider my self a pretty big fan. When I saw there was a game, I thought it was going to be alot of watching stuff, and not alot of doing stuff. I was wrong since your can do alot. The story is like what you would see on tv. Some actors from the show are in the game which is one of the best parts. Briscoe is like he is on tv. To bad Jack McCoy isn't in the game cuz he would probably be better. I figured out the best way to get through it is to save, save, save!!! So then you can load it and try something again.

Warning!

Be warned that this game does not work in all computers. I have an HP pentium IV, but when I tried to play I was unable to access the crime scene which is the main screen. All I got was a black screen. I went to the Legacy Interactive website hoping to resolve the problem, and found there were many other people experiencing this problem. The game maker apoligizes but has no solution for it, but say they are working on it.
