The Game

Crime City is a point-and-click adventure game from the United Kingdom in which you, as Steven White, investigate a recent murder in an effort to clear an innocent man: Your father! You will need to use your wit, a keen eye and serious investigative work to track down the real killer.

The game interface is very simple, yet effective and you will master it in no time. Everything is basically self-explanatory, which is a sure sign of good design. The graphics are static as there is no animation, but they are well-suited for the game's age. I did not encounter any music, but there are some sound effects, such as dialing the phone, busy signals, etc.

There is no inventory to manage in this game, which can be a good thing. If you pick something up, you simply use it automatically as needed. There is not easily apparent way to see what you are carrying. Discovering an item simply adds a new dialogue option to some one you need to speak with.

The game can be a bit difficult because you have a clock to contend with. Each action, such as traveling around town to investigate, takes a certain amount of time and/or money depending on your choices. You get tired from lack of sleep, which affects your health and so on. Some characters are only available for questioning at certain times of the day. In all Crime City accurately produces a living breathing, and above all, logical gameworld for you to explore.

Crime City even includes a simple "Breakout" type game on the in-game computer if you get bored investigating! Overall, Crime City is a fun adventure game that will keep you busy for a while. Playing it is certainly not a crime.

Note: My compatibility CD does not alter the retail game or bypass copy protection. It allows the original media to install and run correctly on any recent version of Windows.
