Criminal Case Reviews

Honestly I hate it. They changed so much from all the other ones. You only have 45 seconds to find everything/spot the differences/rearrange the tiles and every star they add more things for you to do but don’t increase the time. There are 2 puzzle levels now and each star (out of 10) there are more pieces so 20+). Each scene is 10 stars and you get 1 star per completed attempt. The only way to advance along the leader board is to purchase power ups (they got rid of the free “preview item” option and now have to pay for it) you basically can get all the stars in one day then just have to wait for the results of evidence with nothing to do. For example, one day I had 40 stars and no more scenes to complete as not all had been opened so you just have wasted energy. There are less levels overall in the game so it’s much shorter (still 9 each chapter but les in the whole game). I’m just so disappointed bc I waited so long for this and it’s awful. I love the concept of traveling through time but I don’t know why the creators would think its a good idea to change so much.

It’s so much different from all the other Criminal Case games that it doesn’t even feel like it deserves the title of having a criminal case and even does that cause it doesn’t even say criminal case when you boot up the game. It feels like if someone took criminal case, and just redid it in their image, and said that this is the new way we do this. If you want to play it, that’s your own opinion, but just play one of the other ones maybe even the original one then go play that one and decide for yourself if you still wanna continue playing it because it’s just so much different from all the other ones.

Why fix what isn’t broken and then destroy what was good in the process? I am an avid Criminal Case fan. I have finished two completely and am well through the next three. So, I was so excited to see a new one. What a disappointment! I absolutely hate timed games! I handled the one level out of nine which gave a limited time to choose items in all of the other Criminal Case games, but I loved the fact that I could take whatever time I needed to find the items in the other scenes. I worked on this game until I quickly ran out of coins. Unlike the other games, I was not allowed to watch ads to add energy or coins. So, I removed this game from my iPad. I cannot express how very disappointed I am!

I went from extremely excited for this game to extremely disappointed. I don’t mind the new format with 10 stars per scene and 2 stars to talk to a suspect or analyze a clue, but I absolutely hate the 45 second timer for every single crime scene. The time bonus is my least favorite in the other games and now every time I play this game, there’s a stupid time limit I have to beat... otherwise, I risk having to use coins to continue or fail the scene. The time limit completely takes away the fun, relaxing aspect of the game and makes it feel stressful. That’s the last thing I want when playing a game! I’m still doing my best to give it a shot, but I’m thinking I might just delete it, pretend it doesn’t exist, and stick to the other 5 games in the series.

I’ve been a longtime fan of Criminal Case and I’ve played completely through all five previous games, however I can’t can’t bring myself to do the same for this one. For some reason or another, the developers decided to completely revamp and redesign the game and the format: there being only 6 areas on the map to investigate, running out of energy faster so that you feel compelled to purchase powerups, the new star collection system, among countless other things both big and small about playing the game. After finishing the previous game, the thrilling and suspenseful “The Conspiracy”, I thought that I’d still give this game a try, despite all the negative reviews I’d read before downloading. It was a waste of my time and it will be a waste of yours if you’re foolish enough to try it. Don’t waste your time, and just skip directly to the sequel instead: “Criminal Case: Supernatural Investigations”.

I’ve played all the previous Criminal Case Games (I’m still actively playing Mysteries of the Past & The Conspiracy) & this one is terrible. Why change up something that works? I’ve only started playing it and you only have so much time to find all the items. I’ve had to replay the level many times and I have a hard time finding all the items in the allotted time. Yes, you can buy more time, but after your coins run out, you’ll have to buy mire coins with real money.

The stars are weird too. You have to use 2 stats to do anything instead of just 1 like every other Criminal Case game. I hope that they don’t change all the games to this format because if they do, I’m done with all of the Criminal Case games.

First off Inhabe played Criminal Case for years. LITERALLY!! I played since the beginning. I have even gone back and won Rings! But this new one Travel In Time... I don’t see myself playing it as much. Why give us 10 stars a set. It took long enough to get the 5 STARS. It takes a good 2 weeks to get through a case. And with 56+ cases a game that’s a long time. I have spent money with Criminal Case, however, you DO NOT have to spend anything. This 10 stars thing is ridiculous. And with a time limit it’s gonna take a while to get through. As A Long Time Fan. Please change it back to 5 stars. I won’t play this one. I play Criminal Case for the simple fact it’s easy and it is very relaxing because you have a challenge but it doesn’t take you 352 tries to get a star like in candy crush and such. So please put it back the other way so I can relax with this one as well! Or at least make it to where we can watch a video to finish the scene/star. Thanks your long time loyal player!!

So frustrating. I’m pretty proficient at playing all the other Criminal Case games. I love them all, except be warned: they END. And you’re stuck with a balance of energy and coins. You can’t restart the game and you can’t transfer your balances to other Criminal Case games. For me, that’s disturbing, because I frequently pay for energy. And I didn’t see the final episode coming! Twice! (Lesson learned)

I digress. I’m disappointed in this version of Criminal Case. Although I usually identify all the objects in less than 45 seconds in their other games, this Travel in Time is far more difficult to find all of them, and you are limited to 45 seconds. Sure you can use coins for additional time, buy hints, and/or the “knife,” which shows a picture of the object. I’m going to run it out until I have no more coins or energy, but this game is last on my daily game routine.

I’m glad to see you created a new Criminal Case, “Supernatural.” Am trying it today. So far it’s consistent with your other games, so that’s good.

BTW what is the problem with tech support? Or rather, nonexistent support? I have contacted them about three times, and all I get is a boiler plate email sending me back to the FAQ page. Or Facebook, which is anathema to me. I’m annoyed with shouting into a black hole, ya know? ANY human reply is better than the insulting standard email sending me in a circle. Just saying.

I was beyond excited when Criminal Case Travel In Time became available because I love and have played all of the other Criminal Cases.....I’m actually playing them all again from the beginning now. WHY did you have to change so many things in this one?? Clearly the format of all the other versions worked so why change something if it isn’t broken! I hate the way you have to spend coins to get 3 hints but then can only use them on one scene! Once you use coins to buy boosters you should be able to use them on any scene rather than lose them if not used. It’s also EXTREMELY ANNOYING that you get asked every single time if you are sure you don’t want to get the boosters.....there is no way to get past that. I’ve tried playing for a day and a half and I’m probably going to delete it. I had so looked forward to this but now just very disappointed!

I am an avid player for years now of criminal cases. I was excited to see a new game that came out. I don’t mind the 10 stars but it’s difficult to reach a golden 1 per scene. I have tried so many times and can’t get past 3 or 4 on many games. The ads of 10 or more to even get into a game playing the wheel is out of control too. It used to be three ads on the wheel to get in. It takes me over an hour just to get into all the games because of the ads now. The kicker is that I paid $7.99 per freaking game for less ads and they are worse and more now. What a rip off!! I thought you were better then all the other games, I’m so disappointed with criminal case now. I used to LOVE these games. 🙁

How to ruin a wonderful game. Add a 45 second timer to everything. It is no longer a casual relaxing game. Now it is full of stress and disappointment. I waited to play a while to see if I would get better. It might be possible but not yet. The previous games had one puzzle with the timer and I always left it to the last. You might be able to do well and love it but I am also slowed down by macular degeneration so focusing takes a little longer. I am rarely able to accumulate enough points to buy the extra 45 seconds and all my energy is used up with one failure after another. Then I’m through. If the makers think this will make me spend real money, they are mistaken. So I guess I’m off to find another game.

I absolutely love this game and all the other sister games. Super fun, and originally this one was much harder and caused me issues, but I have thus figured out how to do a better job and I get excited to have a pretty difficult game included in my Criminal Case gameplay. If I could I'd give it 5 stars. For whatever reason, my game unlinked itself from my Facebook, which is frustrating because I had solved quite a few cases and quite frankly I refuse to start over. I keep trying to reconnect and it gives me an error message and says CriminalCase is not active. I cannot play the game until my progress is restored and this error has popped up for over a month. I tried to reach out through their help option and it gave me an automated response that sent me to the faqs and said that I would receive no more assistance in the matter. I am deeply disappointed that this feature is still messed up on both this game and the City Of Romance game, and that when trying to remedy this their "help" goes to nobody and nowhere. Get this fixed! And while you're fixing this issue, maybe employ an actual person to actually help those who go to the help option.

This version is pretty good. It’s nice that you can pick to have a pictures of the items, 3 hints, or +45 seconds so then you would have a total of 90 secs. if you would get it. You do have to pay coins for them but I really only use one of them so it’s okay. There are 10 stars for each crime scene instead of 5 on the other versions probably because you get one 1 full star for going to the crime scene only once. You do need 2 stars to do things with evidence and talk to suspects but it doesn’t take that long to get only 2 stars. The thing I find most annoying is that you run out of energy quicker then the other versions. I do like the idea the creators had with the time travel though.

Ok so I’m not gonna lie, I have been a long time fan of criminal case and still stuck in the season 1 ever since so I’m glad this came out in Pakistan because that’s where I live. But I deleted season 1 and installed the season 6 one, so it was worth a try basically it was the same thing except you can earn stars when you play a Crime sence. Everyone hates the new format including me and will tell you why everyone hates it:
Ok so first off it’s nice to get a star each time you play but why does it have to be like 10stars instead of 5 stars, also it is pretty less time consuming getting 2 stars but those 2 stars are now 2 stars per task.
Secondly, I have to speedrun every time I collect items in a Crime sence because there’s a 45 second timer. But the boosters could make it better. Otherwise I don’t really have issues but that is still not ok.
So to whoever reads this, I’m NOT saying you shouldn’t get the game, you can play the game and it is awesome and I still suggest it and recommend it.

I think the game is cool but when you do the areas to look for clues or even do puzzles it takes up a lot of coins like adding 45 seconds more, getting picture hints, and also for hints because on the other criminal case games you never had to use coins for finding things like taping the word and getting a picture of what you’re looking for and also adding extra time to the clock plus the clock moved forward in the other criminal case games and never ran out of time. I hope the next new game seasons it would be like the other ones are with not having to use up too much coins and being able to watch ads non stop to earn free energy and coins, but I really like the scenes to this game it’s exciting that you capture criminals within each history time.

Ok so I practically have all the Criminal Case games and I love them all; however, this one is a little bit different. Don’t get me wrong; I like the game but there are somethings that I’m not a fan about this Criminal Case game.

Firstly; the style. Every “crime scene” has 10 stars, even though the other 5 Criminal Case games “crime scenes” have 5 stars. Plus; you need to have 2 stars for every task, which causes you to lose more energy.

Secondly, the time. The other 5 Criminal Case games time always counts how much time you spent on a “crime scene” and not down. This game, however, only gives you 45 seconds to complete the scene. Sure there is a helper that gives you more seconds, but you need coins in order to add the seconds.

All in all; even though this Criminal Case game is different from the others, it needs some improvements.

Okay let me just say this once I been playing criminal Case my whole entire life and I love the old version of the previous games where you don’t have to spend your money for helping you out collecting stars sure you have to spend energy and wait for a while to rest like I said before Travel in time is a great game I getting used to the mechanics nobody likes not to mention spending their coins I really hope pretty simple found a way to improve the game mechanics without spending too much time on wasting their coins to play the story but overall it’s a good game.

I’m getting used to this format. I’m glad I have a really good memory. I just make sure before I investigate a scene I have enough energy to play the whole scene in one shot. However in the end it takes watching a video to get more time because I’m playing all the other games as well. These games are fun but the only thing that is bugging me with all of the games right now is it tells me if I sign into Facebook it’ll give me “X” amount of energy. However, when I try to go on Facebook it tells me that CriminalCase is down and the developers are aware of the issue. So that is a catch 22. Otherwise I enjoy the cases and storylines. I hope another game is created as well. Enjoy them all

I have enjoyed Criminal Case for a long time, but this version has some changes I’m having trouble with—the timing of everything and the cost of everything needed. Since I play this game to relax, with the timing and everything adding pressure, I don’t know if I’m going to proceed.

Ok so I’ve been playing criminal case for YEARS now and I can honestly say I like this version a lot better then the other ones but my only issue with the game is the time limit they give us and not letting us get the free preview like previous games b4 this one I like the concept of getting a star after a crime scene but my only issue is the time limit and the free preview Great game and my 2nd favorite overall tbh
