411mania - I remember when the DS first came out and everyone was talking about how great the touch screen was and how many great things developers could do with it. I agree with them to a point, and that point stops with all of these cash-in touch-screen adventure/puzzle games. Outside of a few rare examples (Phoenix Wright being one of them), almost all of these games are awful and not worth the cartridge used to hold them. And, this of course, brings me to our current game on review – Crime Lab: Body of Evidence.
Crime Scene tries to present an interesting run through puzzles and crime scene investigation, but it's underwhelming in all respects.
NintendoLife - The DS has been a popular platform for graphic adventure games in its lifetime thanks to its touchscreen interface, seeing a number of great titles such as Hotel Dusk: Room 215 & Time Hollow. This time around we have Crime Lab: Body of Evidence, a new entry in the Art of Murder adventure series from City Interactive. Unlike other entries in the DS library though, it's unique in that it utilises the DSi Camera to help you solve puzzles and it proves to be a rather fun adventure.
Pocket Gamer - Hetty Wainthrop Investigates. Miss Marple. Murder She Wrote. It's hard to know why, but branding gruesome murder mysteries to middle-aged women works.
City Interactive's Crime Lab: Body of Evidence is clearly out to capitalise on that formula, albeit with a CSI-inspired lick of paint.
