Law & Order: Justice is Served

The Good
As for the plot. The great step of the screenplay is the relations in tennis. Everybody can sleep with everybody for victory. Filthy world of business corrupts the morals of tennis stars, money is doing their job. It compel young people to think about purity of business ideals in sport. Also it is very pleasantly that American game use Ukrainian theme. It shows that Americans knows about Ukraine but in funny sense or by fake description of Ukraine. As for game engine. Graphics is very good (computer clones are very similar to real actors), music is super, atmosphere in the game is mysterious but isn't dark. As for simulation. Simulation of detective's and prosecutor's work is very useful for such "dummies" as me. I even think to be an private investigator in my late years (if I decide to emigrate to U.S.). So, game inspires in great way. Thank you guys. As for similarities. Elena Kusarova is Anna Kurnikova to me. I saw 20 resemblances of them. But the fictional history won't be realized, so long live Anna and win please!!!

The Bad
Cause I'm Russian and live in Ukraine, some of Ukrainian elements are somewhat funny for me. For example, when Briscoe opens a casket, the music plays and he describes it as Russian tune, but... The melody is Ukrainian hymn (which calls "The Ukraine isn't dead yet", but Kusarova is dead already) and it is more Polish than Russian. Another funny example is air transport in Ukraine. Ukraine isn't such big as U.S. and for transport from Kiev to Kirovograd (distance is approximately 300 km) people use train or bus. Also funny is the last name of murdered heroine - Kusarova. It is not Ukrainian at all, Czech maybe. But if she hasn't got true Ukrainian last name, it is very fishily that she has such a national patriotism shown in game as flag, hymn or other symbolism. The Kusarova is shown as libertine, which uniquely defines morale of Ukrainian girls but it isn't true. I can refer it to corruption of Kusarova's morals because of the tennis money. Different facts about Kusarova's father is somewhat fictional. The Ukrainian embassy is also shown in bright colors. So, the attitude to Ukraine is underscore. As for the game engine. The questioning isn't balanced. It is very easy to ask a correct question and to progress in game in Investigation mode (you can choose the correct one from a menu), but sometimes is hard to protest in Court mode (you have to understand in real-time that the question isn't right and then push the key before the witness will reply).

The Bottom Line
Very good sequel to the series with improved graphics. Tennis is shown as it is - big money corrupt morals. Ukrainian theme in the game is somewhat fake, but it is even good for us all. I very recommend to Anna Kurnikova play this game and write a review as profi. Simulation of detective's work is very good. And for TV-series fans the game is another addition to collection. Very good. It is certainly, play it!
