Frustration Factor (FF) **
I will not spoil the game for you by giving you a blow by blow description of it. Rather I will give you general playing details, plus furnish you with a Link to a Hints/Walkthrough site at the end.
Once again the M RATED storylines/narratives for these games are interesting, with believeable characters, a variety of locations, and enough intrigue to keep you playing. The player can relate to some of the characters and positively dislike others, which is as it should be. As the narratives are a little longer than those in the original Game in the CSI Series, they are therefore slightly more complex, providing a little more gameplay – increasing the SF slightly.
Case 1: DAREDEVIL DISASTER
The crime scene portrays the aftermath of a motorbike accident at a rehearsal for a Stunt/Reality Show – World’s Wildest Stunts. The rider is in hospital with mutliple injuries, and the bike is a battered heap. Not only has the crime scene been tampered with, but also the bike has suspicious damage.
Case 2: PRINTS AND PAUPER
The body of a homeless man is in the Morgue. But Al Robbins does not like the discrepancies in its condition – though wearing his tattered garments, he was recently clean and his last meal was an expensive dish of white truffles. So you have to get the crime scene location from Brass in order to begin your search.
Case 3: DIGGIN’ IT
A skeleton is dug up by machinery at a Casino construction site. Nearby is a Native American Paiute stone tool. Is this a sacred burial site, or is this a more recent skeleton? Needless to say the Casino and Construction Company boss wants it sorted out quickly, as every hour of downtime costs him a fortune.
Case 4: MISS DIRECTION
A young actress is killed at a Technical rehearsal for the show at a Casino Theatre. She is apparently shot by her fellow actress with a blank from a stage prop gun, while the ‘squib’ – an explosive device – explodes on her chest to fake the gunshot.
Case 5: DRAGON AND DROPPING
An Indonesian Komodo Dragon has been reported missing from a travelling show called Cirque des Lezards. The promoter of the show says it is worth $35,000 on the black market, and is inclined to point the finger at a missing itinerant worker. when a human toe is found in the Komodo’s empty cage the Case becomes more serious and decidedly more grizzly.
In keeping with the pattern partly established by the original CSI Game, there is a passing mention of the Case 1 World’s Wildest Stunts; and a character from Case 2 also features in this final Case 5.
The FF is higher for this Game. In Case 3 the Psychic is really annoying – she drawls her far too wordy and mostly irrelevant dialogue in a fake accent – part of her character of course, and well done – but ANNOYING! Fast Forwarding through her dialogue is recommended for return players.
There is some very obscure evidence which causes much back-and-forth play until it is found. This is where the rechecking process is vital. Although I don’t want to give it all away I suggest that in Case 4 you check the bullet fragment for additional evidence using the magnifying scope tool; use Mikrosil in the bullet wound to gain another step; and don’t miss the kitchen drawer.
There is also a glitch in the last Case of this Game – a piece of collected evidence down not appear in the Evidence Bar, and a Fingerprint appears on the screen towards the end of the Game, and floats over the screen till the end. But neither of these affect the game or are needed. So don’t worry. If you have played this Game using Microsoft XP and this glitch doesn’t occur please let me know. I thought that the Patch took care of it, but maybe it’s on my screen because I am playing it on a Windows 7 Reset program.

Ubisoft has announced CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Dark Motives, a new PC title for release in March based on the CBS-made television series, in which the player is tasked with solving five cases with help from a fully-voiced cast of CSI regulars.
Dark Motives is apparently a first-person adventure game full of grisly crime scenes that require forensic dissection - with in-depth evidence examination, scalable difficulty and a high level of interactive lab functionality amongst the game's key assets. Players can expect to get their hands on fingerprint dusters, UV lights, luminol, DNA sequencing equipment and a comparison microscope amongst other bits of kit.
As an added bonus for CSI fans, the game will include DVD-style extra content - pre-production sketches, behind the scenes footage and what's described as unusual trivia.
'The popularity of the first CSI: Crime Scene Investigation game [released in May] proves that the CSI license translates well to videogames,' Ubisoft's vice president of marketing Tony Kee said of the game which gathered review scores ranging from 9.5 out of 10 down to a mere 40 per cent. Dark Motives is due out in March 2004.
