Law and Order: Dead on the Money is one the best role playing games I have played in a long time.

It reminds me a little bit of the good old times when Sierra's Police Quests were around.

However, this games requires a bit more thinking and investigating to get through. Its one of those games when you get stuck you don't want to exit the game and move on to the next one. You try to go back and figure out how to advance in the case.

The game is really entertaining. I've spent three to four days trying to solve the case and a few more on the courtroom trial.

When you play it really feels like you are inside one of the Law & Order shows. Their online demo really gives you a good taste for the game. They graphics and sound is really great. I had no problem installing and running the game on the Windows XP system.

It is a really good value for the money. I hope Legacy Interactive will come up with more Law & Order games such as this!

I've really enjoyed playing the game. It actually has a good and realistic plot, unlike most of the other games out there. Throughout the course of the game things actually start to make sense and with your good investigation the case unfolds itself.

If you like this game genre you definitely will not be disappointed.

This Game is FANtastic!!!

As an avid L&O fan, I was excited to try out this game. I had high expectations and 'Dead on the Money' certainly delivered. The game follows the format of the show by picking up a topic ripped straight from the headlines and running with it. The game has interesting plot twists and ambiguious characters/suspects. This unfolds along with a presentation of the case from crime scene to courtroom. The animation is sophisticated and the virtual sets are very sleek and stylized. Actors from the show provide the voiceover making for a realistic and familiar feel for fans. Intellectually the game is challenging and I've played for nearly 20 hours in just 4 days! I've played a few other role-immersion games and this one ranks up there with the best. If you like L&O, you'll LOVE this game.

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!

Great! Just like the TV show!!

I've been a big fan of the TV show for years, but I was still wary about buying this game. I loved it! The story line runs exactly like the show. The makers did a good job in integrating the two halves of the show into the game. The key element was how they incorporated the typical L&O twist into the game. Every interview led you to a new piece of the puzzle.

The game runs smoothly and is largely intuitive unlike other games where I've spent most of my time going on-line for tips. The voice acting is excellent - Briscoe has the same cheesy lines as on TV! I liked the way the game gave you the option of what skills you wanted to excel in (i.e. evidence, questioning, teamwork, efficiency). My only criticism is I wish they could have developed the story and its characters more. It is largely in line with how the show runs, but I think they could have expanded on it more.

Other than that, great game and I can't wait for the next one to come out!

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.

Awesome..! Must have..

My wife just got me this game for my birthday knowing I'm a hard-core L&O fan. It was great! I couldn't stop playing. It was so nice feeling like you're actually investigating side by side with Briscoe. I only wish this game was packed with more episodes.
To be honest, some of the puzzles were a little too hard for me and I had to get some hints from the Legacy Interactive web site. Nevertheless - it kept me going and I had a lot of fun.

Very Impressed

I recently finished the game. I finally convicted the guy! I got stuck in a few places, but I went to their web site and figured out what I was missing. In general I thought it was a logical game, like the show is, just harder. The characters looked good and sounded like they do on TV. I really enjoyed playing this game and would recommend it to any one who likes the show or who likes mysteries.

Challenging and Intelligent

This game is a nice change of pace for someone who is used to blowing stuff up in computer games. It is well-produced, well thought out and generally a pleasure to play. I almost never do this, but I've gone out and bought copies as gifts. I highly recommend it.
