This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation for Xbox Original
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation for Xbox combines ten cases from the first two PC games around the Las Vegas television team. You inspect locations, collect traces, compare evidence in the laboratory and interview people until an arrest can be supported. This offered copy is an NTSC edition, so its compatibility and region differ from the usual European PAL release. Controls, objectives and progression were checked separately for this Xbox Original version, keeping the description tied to the offered disc without promising later edition content.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation builds progression around ten investigations from the first two PC games, collecting evidence, laboratory tests and interviews. New objectives bring systems together and demand increasing awareness. You learn which actions, equipment or routes fit a situation and immediately notice when timing or preparation can improve. This gives the campaign a clear rhythm without attributing features from other platforms or later reissues to this Xbox Original disc.
This description covers the physical Xbox Original edition of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The disc and product title determine the edition. This older boxed game includes its original paper manual unless the product title explicitly says the booklet is missing. Codes, accessories and historical network features count only when demonstrably present and usable.
Region and language
Our Xbox Original games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
This specific copy is a North American NTSC edition. A standard European PAL Xbox does not play this disc without suitable region compatibility, so check your console before ordering.
Manual
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation for Xbox Original includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
369 Interactive developed CSI: Crime Scene Investigation; Ubisoft released the Xbox Original edition in 2004. The project found its place in the series through ten investigations from the first two PC games, collecting evidence, laboratory tests and interviews. This physical version is treated as the original Xbox Original release, so later patches, downloads, remasters and sequels are not silently added to the disc. Art direction, controls and progression were also reviewed in the original release context, keeping collectable content separate from later service changes.
The release arrived in a generation where larger worlds, faster storage and network services increasingly sat beside disc content. Campaign, local features and edition content are therefore separated here from accounts, servers and loose codes. This clarifies what historically belonged to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and what was a later or external provision. Art direction, controls and progression were also reviewed in the original release context, keeping collectable content separate from later service changes.
The Xbox Original edition of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was checked separately for platform, product title, delivery and original instructions. The description preserves this version's technical and content boundaries. Historical online features are not promised as available, while demonstrable solo and local disc content remains the baseline. Art direction, controls and progression were also reviewed in the original release context, keeping collectable content separate from later service changes.
