Test Notes:

Technically, there is a full game on here, but it ends in a huge cliffhanger and the main menu shows a mission with a “coming soon” notice after the last caper. Hence the asterisk for “download required”.

Game can be played fully offline. No download required, as all advertised content is on disc and in a decent state of quality.

When opening a large safe door, switching between the rings with the joystick also moves them in a certain direction, despite that function being reserved for the shoulder buttons. You then have to move them back into position.

Encountered one instance when we confirmed a recon, but the wrong character remained as the final suspect as a result. But the game treated her as the correct suspect.

Encountered one crash when reattempting an Ace Detective ACME file.

Content Completed:

Main campaign an all ACME files completed. Level 15 reached.
