Destructoid - After the drop in quality between 2009's CSI: Deadly Intent with its crazy cases and the plain mediocre CSI: Fatal Conspiracy in 2010, it appears Ubisoft has moved development of the similar and new NCIS game from Telltale Games to its in-house Ubisoft Shanghai studio.
These games are meant for two audiences only -- fans of the show and achievement hunters -- and NCIS shouldn't disappoint either of them. In fact, it's much better than the current generation's CSI games.
Kyle Gaddo says: "There are some good ideas contained with NCIS... but there’s such poor direction on all accounts contained within that even thinking about recommending the game to anyone is enough to make my head hurt.
"The television show NCIS, which stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Services was originally a spin-off of a similar show, JAG. The series, known for its informative but interesting way of crime solving and stories, has developed quite the fan base; so it was only natural that in time the show would spawn a video game. Can the game live up to the same investigative nature of the show that will give players an insight on the lives of NCIS officers or does it end up a few clues short?"
IGN put the game in its place by discribing it as the participation medal of video games. If you participate you get a Platinum/1000 G.
GameDynamo - "NCIS is a point-and-click adventure game that uses the CBS weekly series NCIS as an episodic backdrop to create unique cases and puzzles for gamers."
