Ubsioft developing NCIS game with CBS

Posted by: 9/21/2011

I am not always sure about why certain video games are made, how many suits sat in a conference room to turn up this idea? Ubisoft announced that it will partner with CBS to create a title based on the NCIS franchise. NCIS will be available ‘this fall’ on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii.

This is the first time an NCIS game is being made by the way, maybe the last?

Fans can play as their favorite characters from NCIS and and travel around the world in search of clues to solve complex murder, espionage and terrorist cases. The game features four original cases written and developed with the writers of the hit TV show.

We are not sure how successful this game will be but here are the bullet points that may make it awesome.

PLAY AS THE CAST, BE PART OF THE FAMILY – Investigate crime scenes as agents Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo, conduct forensics analyses as Abby Sciuto, perform victim autopsies as Ducky Mallard, interrogate and break suspects as special agent Gibbs, and use satellite tracking to apprehend bad guys on the run as special agent McGee.
• EMBARK ON YOUR OWN NCIS ADVENTURE – Written with the writers of the hit TV show, embark on an all-new NCIS story arc complete with four original NCIS cases set in exotic environments ranging from a casino in Atlantic City to a luxury hotel in Dubai. Discover exciting connections between the four cases as you crack each one, and work toward solving the entire investigation.
• TOTAL IMMERSION INTO THE WORLD OF NCIS – Use your guts and cutting-edge technology to solve cases. Players can engage in mini-games and activities keep them on their toes; scour crime scenes for clues, collect evidence, use the latest forensic tools to perform autopsies, and conduct dramatic interrogations of the most promising suspects. Finally, players will put the clues together to deduct the truth!
