Reviews: Law & Order, WANTED

Law & Order: Justice Is Served received a score of 77/100% on Game Over:

"Chances are that Legacy Interactive is going to make a fourth Law & Order game, and despite my not giving any of the first three games in the series a score as high as 80%, I’m cautiously optimistic that I’ll really like that fourth game. The first two games had interesting cases, and the third game had a nice interface, and so hopefully Legacy can put everything together for the fourth game. However, sadly, that sort of synergy didn’t come together for Justice is Served, and I’d only recommend it to fans of the game series or the television series."

Over at Gamer's Hell, WANTED: A Wild Western Adventure gathered a score of 6.5/10:

"It’s very hard to call Wanted a failure, because it’s truly not. The wit is recognizable and even humorous, but you won’t find yourself laughing or terribly engaged. The scenery is distinguishable and easy on the eyes, if a little wobbly (I deemed the inertial movements of the human characters “breast physics” as I watched their heads wobble while they spoke). Puzzles are laid out in simple forms, but the bag of crap you tote around as a player couldn’t be hauled around by a fleet of Pony Express couriers. There are a few timely moments here that inspire the sort of entertainment video games are supposed to elicit, but the long periods of bromidic plodding are the problematic spurs that leave Wanted wanting."
