Guide Review - "Law and Order: Justice is Served" Review
Much of the game is point and click. You'll get search warrants and have to look around the room for evidence. Some evidence requires you to do something else to find it (such as solve a puzzle, or pull down a blind). The evidence is not always obvious, with some placed in easily missed spots. So while the actual process of finding evidence is not hard, you will need to really think to solve the case and find the incriminating evidence.
The pace of the game changes throughout. It'll vary through waiting for evidence to be processed, to interview a long list of witnesses and possible suspects. Paying attention to the same details is required; you won't be able to breeze through while watching tv and talking with friends at the same time.
Ease of playing is always good, but without a good storyline this game would be nothing. Lucky for us, the storyline of finding the killer of Elena Kusarova will have you investigating her professional and personal life. You'll want to play until you solve the case and get a guilty verdict.
