Problem with these games is that, like episodes of the TV show, they are all the same. Cloned at birth. You can watch any of the CSI episodes in any order and pick up what is going on without needing a giant storyline catchup.

There is no real overall story just individual cases so you never get the feeling of involvement, The characters from the show just stand or sit there and don't do much unless asked a question and then info dump so you never get to know them or give a hoot anyway. They are just window dressing.

There is no challange to the games. They are dead easy.

I'm sure it's probably handed down from the TV people that they need to stick to a set formula. The one that keeps selling the game even though it always gets middle of the road boring reviews. The one that sells the game just because it has CSI on the title so why bother trying something new or innovative.

So I don't blame Telltale who are making it because it pays the bills and i'm sure will try to make the script intersting to cover up the inadequces in the gamplay.

I'd rather they made another Bone game though.
