And is more that sure that everyone who loves to watch this TV series has asked themselves many times, how is going to be if they were on the place of the crime scene, taking a part of the Gibbs's team, picking up evidences, solving cases Maybe it seams impossible, but everything is possible in the world of the video games. NCSI or more preciously "NCIS: The Game from the TV Show" is aligning to the list of iPod touch games and iPhone touch games.
"NCIS: The Game from the TV Show" has appeared one month ago and it's picking up good reviews, so far. Could be said that the game is based on the "hidden object games" and the task of the player is to solve 5 exciting cases, developed with the show's creative team. The player becomes member of the team, explores the crime scene, collects evidence, inspects the results in a lab and stakes out potential suspects. All the actions are pretty realistic so the "agent", in a serial of mini games, does matching fingerprints, reconstructing chemical substances, and even autopsies. This is unbelievable opportunity to entrance in Abby's lab to get match molecules to create toxicology reports or in Ducky's lab to examine corpses for wounds and patterns.
One of the more interesting parts of the game is when the player is called upon to interrogate the extra characters and he is able to choose weather he'll be aggressive, neutral or friendly and the goal is to get them to their breaking point. Choosing wrong tactic leads the case to wrong way and a different tactic must be tried, to get the answers out of the suspect.
The graphics and design of the game are pretty good, there's no problem identifying the characters. The music and sound coincide well with the gameplay and scenes as well, so the great fun is guaranteed.
