How to Play "Law & Order: Celebrity Betrayal"
Players work to solve New York City's latest celebrity crime by
investigating the crime scene, interrogating witnesses and bringing their
key suspect to trial. The object of the game is to build as strong a case
as possible and win a conviction with contextual advice and feedback from
popular Law & Order cast members like Sam Waterston and Alana De La Garza.
Players exhibit the evidence they have collected throughout every stage of
the story during the game's complete trial experience, and try to win a
conviction to become the rookie Law & Order star.
"Law & Order: Celebrity Betrayal" also features four mini-games that
directly affect the strength of a player's case. At the game's precinct
location, players can help process evidence and obtain warrants by playing
the Warrant Race game, and search for rumors playing the Coffee Run game.
While in court, players can try their luck at Case Overload or Takeout
Dash.
"Law & Order: Celebrity Betrayal" will be available for a one-time
download charge of $6.99 or $2.99 monthly subscription fee (where
available) on most major U.S. carriers. Consumers should check with their
carrier for availability and handset compatibility.
