From Ubisoft: Players will join Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows and the rest of the Las Vegas cast to help solve crimes using realistic techniques and lab equipment. Featuring five intricate crimes, players will learn that no crime is ever perfect and that the truth always leaves a trace.
The CSI: Crime Scene Investigation series has seen numerous iterations on the PC and consoles. There’s even one for the sexier, but dumbed down CSI: Miami. It’s taken years for someone to finally get a CSI game out on the Nintendo DS, in the form of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Dark Motives. Now children have the ability to poke at dead bodies while riding the bus! But instead of a real game, all the portable crowd gets is a toned down, uglier port of a three year old computer game. Someone needs to investigate that crime.
Welcome to the Las Vegas Crime Lab, circa 2004. Greg is still just the wacky lab guy, Catherine’s ex-husband has not been brutally murdered, and Sara is still on the team (and not banging Grissom). Playing the game is like watching old reruns of the show on Spike. When it was first developed for the PC, Dark Motives was probably pretty accurate to the show, but now it feels dated. Why didn’t Ubisoft decide to make a DS version of their newest CSI game? Or even their last one? It’s a bummer when the DS doesn’t get a unique game, but it’s even worse when they just get an old hand me down title.
The game is comprised of five cases that you, the new rookie CSI, have to solve. You’re teamed up with a cast member partner that follows you around from crime scene to lab and back again. They’re there as a reminder that, yes, CSI is a game based on the hit CBS show of the same name. The cast member does do all the talking and expositing while you do all the work.
Work involves going over crime scenes with a fine toothed comb. CSI is all about the evidence, and it’s up to you to find it. By dragging the stylus over every inch of area, you’ll discover areas to look closer at. A large portion of the game is about using the various tools at your disposal. Dusting for fingerprints, swabbing samples, and getting shoe imprints is a regular occurrence in the game.
