CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder Review

Good for fans, Agonizing otherwise
3 Dimensions of Murder is the third installment in the PC version of CSI. As a fan of CSI, I was entertained by the complicated stories, the interaction between suspects, yourself, and CSI agents, and the general feel of the game.
3 Dimensions starts to stumble with the same problems the others had. While I like having to search the scene for evidence and put the pieces together myself, getting through an hour long stage to find I missed a single piece of evidence, or forgot a test and comparison check is frustrating. Having to find that last shred before you could question a suspect or perform a test was incredibly annoying, as you could spot what was coming well before the evidence accumulated to the point that the game decided it was time to advance.
Probably the worst condemnation is the fact that there has been no real improvement despite being the 3rd incarnation. The stages are still run as point and click, and are otherwise not interactive. Its a matter of patiently running your mouse cursor over row after row of pixels to spot the few items on an otherwise static screen, and the almsot snide remarks for your fellow agents when time after time the remark "Nothing over there. Way to be thorough." While the zoom in/zoom out camera effects and "thought play" you know and love from the show are great, I would've rather had an option to walk around in a basic 3d room, crouch and stand, have a sprite hand that actually open and shut doors and drawers. Aside from the filmed sequences, the only CGI motion is from the CSI agents and suspects, which is dull. The Pheonix Wright games from the Nintendo DS had just as much motion to them as this did.
While I'd recommend this to any fan of CSI, as its a acceptable injection for those of you who desperately need a fix, almost any other mystery game I've played to date can surpass it in almost every category with the exception of movie content and voice acting, which probably got most of the budget. Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes games that go for 2 for 1 deals in the bargain bin have more of what it takes to make a good adventure mystery game.

I'm the CSI
I really enjoy the TV show so the game is terrific. I admit I'm not the best player, so it will entertain me for months.

the game is difficult and you can't backtrack if you miss something so remember to go forward cautiously with your evidence
A very challenging game good for the amateur sleuth to sharpen their forensic evidence collection methods. Don't get frustrated it can be solved it just takes a lot of attention to detail.

Great And Excellent!!
This game is really excellent because it is hard, but entertaining and challenging. You get to play as your favorite CSI characters and have to solve bizarre and bloody murders, help find clues at crime scenes. It is a very interactive game that anybody who loves CSI/CSI: Miami/CSI: New York will love this game!

Superb!
This game issooo much fun! It's interesting, challenging, and has the characters we all love from the television show. There are 5 different cases you need to solve to win the game, and you play alongside a different character in each case. You get scored by Grissom on your ability and casework after solving each one. If you have trouble with something, you ask your "partner" for a hint. He/She will give it to you, but then you lose points from Grissom. The graphics are good, and the diolague is great. It is all very accurate, and I would highly recommend this game. I do have one complaint: There were only five cases, and if you love this game so much that you solve a case a day, then you will have finished the game in less than a week. I wish there were more cases to solve, but I guess that's why there are more editions of the game! It's really a great game!
