Go back to CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder

Okay, so interrogation sequences in the CSI games have been bugging me for a while now. I’m mentioning them in relation to this one because it’s the straw that broke the camel’s back, but the same criticism also applies to the previous games in the series. It seems as if it would be so easy to fix, too, but anyway, here’s the source of my annoyance:

 

1: We’re questioning a suspect here. But we’ve run out of questions.

 

2: Greg? Jim? Anyone?

 

3: It seems no-one feels able to bring this ordeal to an end. Let’s just sit in silence until one of us leaves the room.

 

4: Okay, well, I’ll go then. I might swing by Jim’s office on the way back to the lab…oh, hey Jim. Weren’t you just in the interrogation room with me?

 

5: Actually, Jim, you know what? Even though I haven’t done any more investigating in the last 30 seconds or so, I think I’d like to question that same suspect again. Would that be possible? She doesn’t mind? Good.

 

6: Um, yeah. Turns out I don’t have anything to ask, after all. Gee, this is kind of awkward now.

 

7: Yep, I know, you don’t know anything else. Thanks for hanging around, though.

 

8: Greg? Jim? Anyone? (etc)
