Forensic detective wannabes will find that there is much to do in SouthPeak's upcoming Crime Scene for the Nintendo DS, in which you play as a rookie detective who must investigate the double murder of a coworker and his wife. It's like Phoenix Wright meets CSI, but with a lot less reading, because you progress based on the clues and evidence that you collect.

Sounds interesting, right? I thought so too until I actually tried it. This is one of those games that sounds good on paper but just was not executed right to make for an entertaining experience."
The game begins with Matt Simmons' first day on the job of the police forensics team. You'll have to help him prove his worth to superiors while learning the ins and outs of being a crime scene investigator. Primarily, the game involves discovering, collecting and analysing evidence.

Like his Capcom-published counterpart Phoenix Wright, Simmons is responsible for solving crimes by combing over crime scenes and talking to witnesses. Crime Scene's focus lies in evidence procurement and analysis, requiring you to look over scenes and find bullet fragments, take blood samples, and lift fingerprints among other tasks while solving the case."
