Good Game, not enough of it
The main skill required to play this game is hidden object, but the story line to get you from scene to scene is very well done and is very true to the show. If you are familar with the show you will feel very at home with the characters.
The big issue with this game is that the whole thing is only two cases. I finished both cases and the entire game in about 5 -6 hours. Given that with the club pricing you can get it for less than the price of going to one movie, not terrible value, but a little disappointing to really get the hang of the game and have it over that quick.

Boring
I felt this was extremely boring. The storylines did not flow together and it was hard to keep up. It would have been a lot better with voice overs from the actors on the show. I did like some of the puzzles though. Overall I would not recommend this game.

How Disappointing!!!!
When I saw that there was a "Criminal Minds" game coming, I was eager to see what we players had in store. Well, sadly, not much! It was a very shoddy product that was put together for the sole purpose of luring players into what could've been a cerebral challenge, but instead was a total letdown! The graphics were old and slow. The "evidence" puzzles were repeats of old and uninteresting minigames. Don't even bother to play this...it's a collosal waste of time! Someone else should make a real effort to make this game over because the subjects that Criminal Minds deals with are intriguing.

Not a Very Good Game
This game was not very good. It lacked the one most important thing a game should have: An excellent storyline. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
You got to switch between the characters
Easy puzzles
The unscramble the word thing to find an object
OK Parts:
The game didn't hook you at the start, but once you get in to it it's ok
Bad Parts:
Slow hint recharge
Every time I clicked to go to the apartment, it took me inside the police station!
When I clicked "hint" and I wasn't in a hidden object scene, it would give me clues as to how to solve an objective rather as to where to go or what to do next
When I clicked on hint to find out how to solve an objective, it got rid of it once I exited, so it was like I wasted the hint.
Overall, I don't recommend the game. I'll stick to the TV Show thanks

CCCrrrrriiiimmmmiiinnnnaaaallllll........zzzzzz
This is one incredibly sslloowww game! ALOT of dialog to read, and before you can even do that, you have to play a mahjong game that only shows some of the dialog every few tile matches. Add to that, before you can move on, you must connect lines from 1 end to the other, again, with dialog when you make the right connection, so it takes a very long time to read what would be a short conversation between the characters. No good sound effects, music is uninspiring. O.K. ho scenes, find question marks for help to unscramble some words, you can find them without the ? marks though. Because of the partial nudity of the female victims and the way which they are "displayed" in the first case, I would not let children play this game. There is a lot of back and forth without a map, which gets tedious after awhile. I think this game is very boring because it takes ssooo long to do simple tasks that would be done a lot quicker if it were not so drug out. Maybe the makers just couldn't think of anything else to put into the game, I am sorry I wasted my $$ on this one!! Play demo before you dish out any money.

Not My Cup of Tea
Don't like the graphics and far too much conversation. Blech!

Kind of a let down.
I wanted to like this because I love the show! I only did the 1 hour trial and even then I didn't completely use up the whole hour. You wander around too much and while I like the use of tools, I probably would have clicked all over before finding stuff. Normally I never need hints but I had to use the walk through hints in the game more than a few times and that was only in the first case.
Maybe if they come out with a sequel or when it comes out as a deal of the day I'd buy it.

bought this with a free coupon
CM is one of my favorite shows, so the storyline is what caught my attention ... some drawbacks though ... continuity is slow ... hard to figure out where to go ... cursor doesn't work properly ... needs more voice overs, action and SOUND ... pretty boring while playing ... visuals are good ... i look forward to a better quality game ...

Something Differest . . . Something Fun
Three of the things that I like doing on rainy days is reading a good crime story, watching a good crime mystery or playing a game that holds my interest. This one brought all three together rather nicely.
The game has two cases, I started with case #1. Because I read all the dialogue, I was not able to finish this case. A good thing, again, since I enjoy reading and this filled one of the three things that I enjoy doing.
The scenes are pleasant to the eye and the characters look pretty much like they do on TV. I did not have the music and sound on, so I can not speak to this.
The level of challenge is about middle range. For the hidden object scenes, you have to find question marks to unscramble some of the words. I nice twist to interaction in a scene. The objects in the scenes are very clear. So the hidden object scenes are challenging but not difficult. The mini-games are also interesting. Lots of different things to do to get cues to solve the crime.
The hints are reasonable and enough to get through the game and you can get question marks to use if you want to skip (once it has charged up).
I really like this game and for crime games, it's different from the Patterson's games.
I recommend this game for anyone who likes crime mysteries, interaction in a game, a mix of hidden objects and mini-games.
Don't be put off by the dialogue, 1) the dialogue keeps the game interesting, and 2) if you don't want to read/listen to the dialogue, you can skip it.

Criminal Cluttered Minds
I love the show. I wanted to like this game but what a disappointment it turned out to be!
I made it through the demo and wouldn't even think of going any further. You have to read everything the characters have to say which is a lot... really? reading? in 2012? I understand the actual stars might have been over budget but you can get stand-ins that sound kind of like them and make it enjoyable for us to play.
My other problem with this game is the clutter, the HOG are cluttered, but I expect that. In this game, all the scenes were designed by a hoarder.
Anyway, this is just not for me.
