Law & Order: Criminal Intent
Law & Order: Criminal Intent
Law & Order: Criminal Intent, développé par Legacy Interactive, est sorti le 15 novembre 2005 sur PC (Microsoft Windows). Ce jeu d'aventure en vue à la troisième personne plonge le joueur dans l'univers de la série télévisée en lui faisant incarner le détective Robert Goren, doublé par l'acteur Vincent D'Onofrio, pour enquêter sur quatre nouveaux cas de meurtre. L'intrigue invite à examiner les scènes de crime, analyser les preuves et interroger témoins et suspects, avec des graphismes et des voix calqués sur le casting de l'émission. Le titre a reçu un score agrégé de 56 sur Metacritic. Dans leurs retours, GameZone a salué un jeu captivant malgré les bugs évoqués, tandis que Gaming Nexus a relevé des dysfonctionnements agaçants mais une simulation convaincante de la série et une expérience d'investigation substantielle.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« With the exception of the bugs that I mentioned, this game is compelling. When you feel the need to play a game in any spare moment (bugs and all) you know that it's a good game. »
« The game has its fair share of aggravating glitches, but manages to simulate the feel of the show and offer up a substantial crime scene experience at the same time. »
« This is definitely one for the mystery and adventure gaming crowds, but may quickly become a novelty for gamers of other genres. »
« It's still a fine adaptation, offering a surprising amount of gumshoe depth. [Mar 2006, p.102] »
« The biggest mysteries to be solved in this game, however, are the technical problems. As great as it is to have beautiful graphics and realistic noises and other great miracles of technology, they are taxing on computers, and mine isn’t even three years old. »
« If you enjoy easy-going, slow-paced games, if you like watching the “Law & Order” television series (or, really, any police procedural series), or if you just have some time to kill, then you might like Criminal Intent well enough. »
« The third-person perspective is a bust, and the gameplay is often too linear and tedious. On the bright side, fans of police procedurals and Law & Order in particular should find the cases interesting to unravel. »
« If you are extremely patient, a fan of the show, and are willing to stomach and fight through the bugs, then this might be worth your time. With four cases and about 12-15 hours of gameplay (plus all the loading time), you'll have at least a weekend to occupy yourself. »
