I have found many useful stuff out of this source. I ad love to return again and again. Thanks a lot! EtcK62 Im obliged for the article. However, there's added nuance and other items of interest that flesh Criminal Intent out a bit more from other adventure titles.
Your character will move about in most crime scenes and areas with the tried and true click and move interface, and discover clues and items along the way.
These items can be stored in the PDA Detective Goren carries as evidence for building a case against suspects, eliminating others from suspicion, and the like. Although the interface is a bit marred by some odd walking paths and small errors, it will be second nature for most intuitive gamers. I enjoyed the voice work a lot, too mainly because I've been a fan of D'Onofrio since Full Metal Jacket , and other sounds are well used.
Some other features bear mentioning. Rather than forcing you to use canned responses while interviewing candidates, the game allows you to choose the methods of interrogation, and allows Goren to use his trademark questioning skills in a more natural manner. Whether you want to use the iron fist or the velvet glove, Criminal Intent will allow you some freedom without devolving into a dialogue click-fest. The four cases presented in this game allow for a lot more freedom of gameplay than other titles in this series as well.
It sounded to me that often times the lines were being read without really knowing what the context was for them. While D'Onofrio has a very odd and specific way of playing his character in both voice and mannerisms on the show, the problem is that in the game, unlike on television, you don't have the luxury of seeing facial expressions and detailed characteristics that would help sell his delivery more. Fans of the show will likely understand his portrayal, but non-fans will likely find it to be a poor voice performance, and the medium still doesn't fully excuse the lack of emotional expression.
The area that really separates the game from its predecessors is its interface. Criminal Intent is presented in a third-person view, with you controlling a 3D model of Det. Goren via pointing and clicking. This interface change lends itself well to this type of game, and I commend the developers for risking such an experiment when they could just as easily have stayed with their safe, simpler format.
Unfortunately, they were less than successful with their more ambitious undertaking, as there is definitely some bad to go along with the good. At the start of each case, you'll be taken to a crime scene, where you must examine everything that might be relevant to the case. When you click on a hotspot to examine it, you're presented with a mini-menu of icons for further action or analysis.
Viewing evidence, documents, and witnesses that you have collected and interviewed is done via your PDA. The PDA is your most important tool in the game, as it displays your evidence and inventory, contains the map used to travel from location to location, and allows you to view your case notes, store phone numbers and receive calls from the lab and research offices.
Its purpose is to help the player build a strong case in order to get permission for search and arrest warrants.
This is done by inputting evidence into the system and having the computer analyze it. If an item is deemed pertinent for identifying the perpetrator, it will be added to the profile. For example, if you find a wallet filled with money at the crime scene, the computer will determine that the perpetrator likely knew the victim since robbery wasn't the motive. Once you have filled the profile with enough information, you can have the computer compare it to the suspects you have met, and when you've found a sufficient match, will you be allowed to request a warrant.
Although some people may wish this process were less automated, the addition of this feature is a helpful improvement, because in the previous titles, the requirements for obtaining a warrant were vague and more based on guesswork than anything else. The 2D background graphics of Criminal Intent are well done, though they don't especially stand out when compared to other games of this type.
However, despite the decent location graphics, the character models could have been better. With the exception of Detective Goren and Captain Deakins -- who were modeled after the actors that play them -- the rest of the characters look very much the same, with only their clothes, hair, and skin color to differentiate them.
