Big Fish Games are popular for its hidden object games, CSI NY can be found there as well. When this game first hit the street, i was excited as hell. Another CSI GAME! I am a super huge fan of the CSI Game. I cannot wait to lay my fingers on them.
But when i played it, starting from the introduction, it surprised me. How come it is in cartoon style? And what is this hidden object game thing inside the CSI game? This has never happened before!
I somewhat cannot accept the CSI NY as another of the CSI Series games. I can accept it as another one of those Big Fish HOG games.
Those HOG games often have a really appealing titles, such as the lost case of sherlock holmes, women's murder club, and so on.
I admit that the storyline is nice, but i don't really like HOG games. To fully enjoy it, no. Just to spend a little free time when there is nothing else to do, yes.
HOG games are not stressful since i can skip any puzzles or mini games that i don't feel like doing. And there are hints on how to solve the Hidden objects in case i cannot find it. The only thing that gets tired is my eyes.
This game is not bad, though. I think it is the best HOG out there that i have ever played. So if there is any better HOG, i do not know it yet.
I got some other HOGS in my computer such as the Women's murder club and The Devil's Triangle, which need to wait in line before they are published in here.
More about CSI, i still remember how they first came out, they were developed by 369 interactive, and then Telltale games also made some of the newer series. I still like the design of 369 interactive rather than the Telltale Games design. The Telltale games design looked somewhat more cold, almost no warm color, looked dark, and the characters somewhat looked out of proportion and cartoon like.
This is a crime game, i expect the character to look as real as possible. And the scene to be bright! How the hell am i supposed to look for clues on a dark scene?
Also there are some places where i can go or zoom, but there is nothing in it. Nothing important at all. So why the hell it was designed to zoomed for? It just doesn't make sense!
Oh please, give that project back to 369 interactive, will you? They do a much better job, and make the game a HELL MUCH BETTER!
