    Not really worth investigating. [March 2012, p.91]

    Overall, NCIS feels like another procedural tie-in, attaching a well known property - this time a hit US TV show - to a procession of rather dreary mini-games that becomes a long advert for the show.

    At the close of NCIS: The Game's final episode, I didn't feel as though I'd gained any insight into investigative procedure.

    This is unfortunately not a good detective game, nor is it a good game period.

    A point-'n'-click with minimal pointing and telegraphed clicking. NCIS fan? Still avoid this. [Feb 2012, p.98]

    You're left with awkward, stilted voice-acting, serviceable graphics, and rote button-pushing that feel less like a game experience and more like channel-surfing on your couch. Skip.

    A spectacular show and its fan base were given a huge black eye with this one, and someone committed Murder on the franchise as a game when they released this game.

    Childish minigames and saw-it-coming plots make NCIS a mockery of its TV inspiration.

    With terrible dialogue, a horrible story, and gameplay that's equivalent to matching shapes and colors at its most complex, I can't imagine the person that would be entertained by this game… but if he exists I hope I never meet him.

There also isn't anything that good about it, but still if you can this for $10 it's a good game to spend one evening playing. The bottom line is that detective games are almost always fun for me. So even though the game is objectively very mediocre. I still enjoyed it more than a lot of other games I played. However, CSI: Hard Evidence is a lot better then this.… Full Review »
