This Game Is Just Like I Expected. It Has Great Graphics And Keeps You Entertained. I Finished It And I Wanted To Do It Over! If You Want A Good Game And Your A Fan Of L&O This Is A Game For You!

I hesitated to buy "Double or Nothing" becuase I had purchased the first L&O and was very disappointed. Luckily, I got this one at a discount price. I am tired of games that do the work for me. I get to hunt for clues with my mouse but when I find them, I do not get investigate them or make any suppositions about them. That's all done by my helpful partner. Why does he get to have all the fun? Why not give me the opportunity to decide if this is possibly a useful item? There are no real puzzles, all of the questions are spoon-fed to you (even when you do not select that "skill" in the beginning and the game is too short and too predictible. The only good thing about it is that there was no time limit as in the first game. These two games together are so bad that I will never buy another L&O game, ever. I've said the same about the CSI games. I guess you can't blame the makers for wanting to cash-in on the popularity of these shows, but you do no justice whatsoever to the cast, writers and the image of the show. Please, in the name of all that is good, stop making these games.

This game was the biggest waste of twenty bucks I have ever spent in my life. The gameplay was insanly easy and I finished the game in under six hours. After that, you don't get any more cases to solve. That is it. Two days of light playing and it goes to the road side. If you want any value for your money, go pick up a copy of anything but this. I will never buy a Legacy Interactive product again in my life.

Being a big fan of the TV show, I was psyched when I finally bought this game. I couldn't wait to play it. I had a great time interviewing the suspects, following the leads, submitting search warrants, and finally making an arrest. The trial, part II, was much more difficult. On my first try, the defense was objecting to almost everything I said, and I got to excited and did the same to them. It took me several tries to get a guilty verdict, and there is one major key to sucess. WATCH THE CUT-SCENES, or you will undoubtedly fail. The game pretty much resembles the show, although you don't get to make the closing arguments, they are automatic based on what evidence and witnesses you have presented. Overall, tricky, too single-threaded, but great game. A+

Although I do not particularly like the show Law and Order, I was impressed by this game and would strongly recommend it to anyone that enjoys playing the Her Interactive Nancy Drew PC adventure series. I would make this recommendation on the basis of 3 factors: 1) a worthy storyline; 2) educational value and 3) smooth interface.

With regard to the storyline, it involves finding and convicting the killer of a famous scientist who was murdered with a gunshot wound to the head on a busy New York street. As the game progresses, you have to solve the crime by finding clues and interviewing witnesses. There is a good deal of realism in the game, as you must follow police procedure in handling evidence, obtaining warrants, making arrests, etc. There is plenty of educational value in the game for those wanting to learn about probable cause and legal terminology. Finally, the interface is intuitive and very smooth.

The games charachters are enjoyable from the suspects to the witnessses. You will also be kept on your toes as you continue to guess about motives for the killing.

On the downside, there is really not enough bang-for-the-buck here. Like the Nancy Drew Adventures, you only get one case to solve, and then its over. Diehard gamers might also find that the game is a little on the easy side. Some may also find the gameplay somewhat linear, especially in that the questions that you may ask any possible suspect or witness are really multiple choice. Still, it's an immersive experience very similar to the Nancy Drew series, but dealing with somewhat more mature subject matter.
