The down side to all of this is that you don’t have much control over the speed of gameplay. The entire game is played through by watching a cinematic. The scenes will play out and the game will pause and ask for your input at the right times. This includes choosing what questions to ask subjects; you’re even given the choice to believe them or challenge what they tell you. Because we all know criminals don’t tend to tell the truth.
You’re able to search crime scenes for clues and evidence. Panning around the crime scene is done by just using your finger and doesn’t give you much of a range, however, it does give you enough view to be able to find what you need. Once you find the evidence, draw a circle around it using your finger to collect it. There were a couple of occasions where it wouldn’t work for me, though; so make sure to be precise as you only have so many tries to collect what you need before failing the investigation.
I was surprised to hear cussing in the dialog. This of course doesn’t bother me, but just a heads up in case you’re sensitive to certain words (e.g., swearing, vulgarities).
There are multiple endings, depending on how you solve the case and depending on what happens in the courtroom. After all, this is law and order. You play as the detectives and police, and then as the attorneys in a courtroom setting. This is the real deal.
