1UP: Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles Review

And even if Jake Hunter did stuff right, it would still be half-assed: The Japanese version of the game features three cases not found in the American release. Not that 1UP wanted to untangle more predictable murders (three is enough -- trust them!), but if publisher Aksys wanted the game to seem somewhat appealing to crime-solving consumers, they could have at least made an effort to include the extra cases in the American version. It doesn't really matter, though, because the verdict still remains the same: Jake Hunter should quit his day job.
