Great point and click fun, with good plot and just the right learning/difficulty curve November 13, 2008
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I am, and always have been a fan of 'point and click' games. The idea of exploring an environment has great appeal to me. Unsolved Crimes is a great example of this genre. If you enjoyed the Phoenix Wright games (and also games like Hotel Dusk:Room 215, Another Code:Two Memories and many others) then this is the game for you.
You are a rookie cop in New York and your first assignment is your 'walkthrough' scenario where you must follow the clues to ascertain which of the three suspects is the killer of your victim. To do this, you must visit the murder scene, and click on various objects (such as the curtains, the window etc.) - any objects too far away you must move closer using the simple on screen controls (left, right, forward, back) and you can also closely examine evidence, view testimonies and suspect details. Once you have solved this (which may take a couple of attempts - it is not obvious who your 'killer' is) you can progress to the real crimes.
As expected, the 'real' crimes get progressively harder and require more thinking (each query you are faced with has a score rating to show how easy/difficult it is to solve) and you must be totally sure in your mind who your killer is before presenting your evidence to your police chief. The hardest part for me was trying to open a safe to look at it's contents and I must admit I nearly launched my DS across the room a couple of times, but perseverence is the key.
All in all, a great game, which is great fun to play, highly addictive and one you will probably return to play again (I usually give a game six months before returning to it to have another go - hopefully I have forgotten the outcome by then)
