I got the real detective accolade, but it didn't give me my medal.

Chaz responds:

Its a shame you found enough value in the game to play to that point but decided to give a 0 rating on the basis of not getting a medal. Hope you enjoyed it either way.

I love this game, it is really funny and unique. what would be better is to have different levels. for instance, beginner can get two accusations wrong, intermediate can get one wrong, advanced can be the same and hard/insane can be with a timer.

So this game is luck based, no strategy needed just guesswork, which is not at all what I would expect from a game based on solving crimes. If the graphics were any worse I wouldn't have given this any stars.

It is a good thing that detectives aren't limited like this IRL.

Edit: I agree it would be ridiculous if it was luck based.
When I have 8 winkles and 4 AP and the 4 I question all share traits that the suspect has, then yes it is luck based! (Unless I am LUCKY enough to get less winkles on my first case) The fact that you don't see that is mind boggling!
Go read @hiimquinn's comment it points out several problems that I'm not going to bother typing out.

Chaz responds:

It's not luck based at all, that would be ridiculous!

Pay attention to the clues. It's not a fast paced game. You need to use your brain. Somebody in the comments has posted a very good breakdown of some of the clues somewhere; check it out if you need a guide.
