Forensics: Crime Scene Detective

Forensics: Crime Scene Detective delivers a detailed and satisfyingly methodical simulation of forensic investigation, rewarding patience and attention to evidence. Its deliberately repetitive structure and lack of dramatic storytelling will not suit everyone, but players who enjoy procedural detective work should find plenty to appreciate.

Forensics: Crime Scene Detective tries hard to be a realistic portrayal of crime scene investigator's work, but it ends up being boring, repetitive and clumsy chore. Luckily, it isn't very long.

The idea of Forensics: Crime Scene Detective sounds really good on paper; however, I am not sure if this has translated well. I can certainly see the game being rather repetitive and becoming tiresome to some people. However, if you’re a lover of simulation games, then this may be one to add to your list. I enjoyed the time I spent with the game, and I would be interested to see how it develops. However, it is not all there for me to say that it is a game that I would come back to again. Therefore, I will award Forensics: Crime Scene Detective with the Thumb Culture Silver Award.
