CSI: Miami Review

    Gameloft, one of the leading iPhone/iPod Touch game developers has a smash hit with the app CSI: Miami. The game features one crime case where you travel around the city of Miami searching for clues, solving puzzles and mini games, questioning suspects, and talking with your fellow CSI co-workers. The characters in the game are all from the show including the most popular character Horatio. As you play a new game you can play on three difficulty levels and try to achieve the highest score in each. The game has beautiful graphics as well as cut scenes taken directly from the show which lack in quality but are still a good addition to the game. The characters in the game also have voice acting which is always a plus for any game of this type. The character’s voices are different then those from the show but are still nicely done. The game is a little too short lasting only around two hours or so. But after you complete the game you can play many mini games that were featured in the main storyline for some additional fun.

The game is well made and very fun to play. You need to search for things like guns, blood, water, broken glass, and fingerprints. Once you find the evidence you need to use a specific tool such as a glove, x-ray, pipette, and swab to collect it. Then you can take this evidence to the CSI lab and test them with other evidence and collect DNA samples that match your suspects. Once you have found a suspect you may question them, you will only get the information you need by questioning the suspect a certain way and showing evidence that you have collected to coax them. The storyline is great and you will want to play straight through to find out what happens. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and really recommend it for anyone who is a fan of CSI or any type of crime strategy game.
