I did not care for this game too much. It was kinda boring because it did not offer much at all. One of the most non-educational games to play. Although, you do slightly learn something.

I completely disagree. This game was very good for the educational service it is providing. It’s not meant to be like an interactive “CSI” deal. It’s simply meant to teach that with the help of insects we can learn something important about a death, murder, homicide, etc. And it did exactly what the description claimed it would.

Oh and saying it was “the most non-educational” game to play and then right after wards say you did learn something makes you look dumb.

Each to there own,l find this game was good..

While I, too, think the game could use a little refining so people can play more than once, with different outcomes, it DID do what it was supposed to do. I AM already in Forensics class & intend to use this site as one of my references.

This activity was beautiful. Words just cannot express the way I feel about the things it taught me. The skills I learned today: I will utilize for the rest of my life. It was like having my first child.

anonymous -- November 5th, 2009 at 10:05 pm

I never really played the game, since my computer is slow, but I would like to know what it’s like.
