Introduction:
CSI: Deadly Intent is a lot like the first one. You don't have to have played the first one to know what's going on. It's sort of a point and click game, mixed with some mini games. This game is based off of the TV series of the same name. It is extremely easy as long as you follow a guide. If you don't follow a guide, this game will take a lot longer for you to get all of the achievements.

Step 1:
Follow this guide here to make things very easy for you. It's the PC guide but still works fine. Click here for that guide.

You should get every achievement with ease following this, except for the three Skill-based achievements. This guide sure does help through most of it, but won't hold your hand on the DNA strands. In order to get these you must do every DNA matching, Chemical matching, and Fingerprint matching perfectly. Don't worry about the microscope, as it doesn't count. I missed this one until the fourth case, when I figured out how it calculates your skill. Once you do your first technical mini game in a case, do it perfectly and you start at 100% skill. This can be found in the menu settings - refer to guide for more detail if you cannot find. If you are at 100%, then you are good to go on. As you progress, manual save before every encounter with the computer. After using it, check if you are 100%. If not, reload. It makes it easy!

Step 2: Mop Up
Well you should have all 1000 by now. If now you may replay any mission to pick up something you missed, or replay a whole mission if need be.

Conclusion:
A very entertaining game and easy 1000 points. Don't expect any DLC from this game, as they just make more of them based on the new season's characters. If you choose to watch the videos in the guide, expect to have basically played the game twice, as you have watched someone do something, and then had repeated it. Instead skim through the written guide. After you gain 100% thoroughness you can skip every written thing about looking at stuff that doesn't result in you gaining evidence. If you do miss anything, the guide gladly shows you how to 100% everything in every level!
