Legacy Interactive, a leading games developer bringing television's greatest dramas to life on the PC, announced today the availability of fifteen new screenshots for Law & Order: Justice Is Served, the company's latest addition to the Law & Order franchise. The new screens offer a detailed look at the three main gameplay elements: the crime, investigation and trial, as well as celebrity appearances from Elizabeth Röhm, Jerry Orbach, and Jesse L. Martin. Law & Order: Justice is Served will be distributed by Vivendi Universal Games and is slated to hit retail outlets in October 2004.

Based on the Emmy Award-winning TV drama, "Law & Order", Law & Order: Justice is Served immerses players in a murder mystery involving a young female tennis star. Featuring two phases of exciting & challenging gameplay, players join their favorite stars from the TV show to first solve the crime and then try the case.

Players will first assume the role of Detective in the investigation, having to gather and analyze evidence, solve puzzles, and interrogate witnesses along side recognized Detectives Lennie Briscoe (Orbach) and Ed Green (Martin). In the trial phase, players take on the role of Assistant District Attorney working alongside A.D.A. Serena Southerlyn (Röhm) to build a strong case against the defendant in order to convince the jury to return a guilty verdict.

After celebrating its astounding 300th episode in May 2003, Emmy Award-winning "Law & Order" is in the middle of its 14th season on NBC and is television's longest-running current drama. Created and executive produced by the legendary Dick Wolf, "Law & Order" continues to deliver some of the highest ratings on television, scoring #3 for any drama on any network among adults 18-49 for each of the past three seasons. Filmed entirely on location in New York City, this realistic program looks at crime and justice from a dual perspective. Some cases may be simple, but most are multi-faceted. The investigations are challenging, prosecutions are complicated, and decisions about legal procedures and plea-bargaining vexing. In the arduous and complex process of determining guilt and innocence, lives often hang in the balance.

"Law & Order" is licensed by Universal Studios Consumer Products Group (USCPG), which is responsible for global licensing and retail strategies as well as building brand recognition of the extensive catalogue of NBC Universal properties.

Universal Studios Consumer Products Group is a unit of NBC Universal, one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies in the development, production, and marketing of entertainment, news, and information to a global audience.
