I did not like this game nearly as much as the last one. The last game felt like actual detective work (well, like video game detective work). You had to make connections using your own reasoning. This one felt more like a cross between and escape game and "find the difference"-- the game made all of the connections and forced you down a linear path that involved breaking and entering at the drop of a hat. I mean, come on. When your police procedure is less realistic than CSI, you know you're doing something wrong.

Seriously ... click click click click. This is the worst of the click-fests and the obtuse clues and ridiculous plot.

Its a pretty nice game, a little short, but still fun. The only problem is, I CAN'T USE MY POST BOX KEY ON THE FRIGGIN POST BOX, SO I CAN'T FINISH THE GAME!!!

This is a great game that would have the potential to be awesome if it only were longer and more complex. As it is now, the solution is kind of sudden and the road there is rather straightforward and simple (I'm one who's been known to need walkthroughs in games like this one, but here the problems didn't take much thought, maybe just a little imagination). I love the graphics and the general athmosphere - spot on! But that just makes the feeling stronger: I want more more more! :D
By the way, isn't Emil Kovacs a detective in another game?

I can't find the 4th piece of evidence in the AMBA. I have the figerprints of the dead guy, prints in the car, and the plate. What am I missing?

Not a bad game. Great atmosphere and entertaining enough. The text throughout the game could use some polish. Grammatical and spelling errors kept popping up. Didn't seem to require putting any of the clues together from what I could tell.

Good game but please, next time give me chance to combine all the clues by myself on the board. It was so great idea.

How do I get new locations I know about to show up on my map? Or how do I travel to them? (Looks like I've done everything at crash & station, but I have no other options on my map.)

It makes no sense! Why would a cop who wants to get into a room and need something to push open the door be unable to come up with anything other than unscrewing a name badge? Also can anyone else find 4th clue at AMBA?

The activation of certain events doesn't work. I'm constantly feeling like I've got all the dots but the game refuses to let me join them.

i give up-AGAIN! i simply can NOT find the 3rd clue in the Nova rent-a-car area! and as Brogers44 said the official walkthrough is USELESS! "search for clues"-BIG help finding the missing clue there, CB!

Wow. The walk through is useless.
I see the diabetes 250, i know what do i have to do, but there is nothing to click!
Terrible.

Nifty interface and graphics, but this doesn't feel like an investigation. Some of the connections between clues are tenuous, and progressing only once you've cleared an area (rather than when you've found key evidence) puts the game on rails. Previous games in this series saw you conducting light forensics and making connections between clues on your own. This game feels nothing like that. The story had very little relevance to the mechanic, and wasn't compelling enough to get involved.

The worst thing about these games is that they're so good I want to play them again but it's not as much fun when you've solved the mystery already

Extra kudos for marking places to dust for fingerprints. Bumps my enjoyment to 5/5 from the earlier games' 4/5. Great fun!
