Was once a super fun game

When I first downloaded this game it was so much fun, but then the updates started and so did the problems. Firstly it takes way too much energy to fill one star. When you start with 120 in your energy bank and you still need to use "coffee" and or "donuts" thats a problem!

Dragging out episodes is another. Why do we need upwards of 30 stars to solve the crime. If we werent forced to do unnecessary interrogations we wouldnt need so many stars, but then we wouldnt spend money to replenish our energy that was sucked up by filling up one star just so we could conduct a pointless interrogation, and Im sure spending our money is the point.

If all the above wasnt bad enough, the game crashes far too much. If it crashes when I start a scene, too bad, I just lost that energy or if Im playing the "cup" I lost that key, not cool. A few times when the "cup" ended I didnt even get my energy reward. I played in three different "cups" and got nothing at the end of them...it was months later when I got the energy prizes all at once for all of them.

Watching the videos for cash and energy doesnt work properly anymore. All you see is a never ending spinning circle and connecting. Very rarely does it connect anymore.

When youre lucky enough for it to actually connect you better cross your fingers that youll get the money after youve watched the video. Too often a message pops up that theres trouble connecting with the server, and youll get your reward later...right...Im still waiting on money they owe me!

Another issue is your game and Facebook sync, it doesnt work properly. I was playing this game long before I ever synced it with my Facebook. Beat all the levels, working my rank up to 35. Now that Ive synced it with my Facebook account everything is wonky. If for some reason Im logged out of my Facebook account Im forced to start at the beginning of the game again. Levels Ive pasted are now locked and I must beat them all over again, my rank is back to 1 rookie. Whaaaaaaat!!!

This game was great, super fun, now with all these updates it has taken the game to super trash!! Please catch, kill, exterminate with extreme prejudice these bugs youve created.

P.S. The game crashed as I was playing so I had time to come and made this review.
