NCIS is an adventure game developed by Ubisoft Shanghai and published by Ubisoft for Nintendo 3DS (as NCIS 3D), PlayStation 3, Wii, Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 in 2011. It is based on the NCIS TV series. The game was announced on September 21, 2011.[1]

The game is divided up into four self-contained episodes but features an overarching plot that connects them all. The game begins with a murder in a casino that turns into a larger plot involving terrorists. The game takes place in locations like Atlantic City, Iraq, and Dubai.[2][1]

Gameplay

The player controls six investigators from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service from a third-person perspective. With the exception of assistant medical examiner Jimmy Palmer, all the main characters from the TV show are included. At crime scenes, the gameplay involves the player taking pictures, moving furniture and cracking safes. In Abby's lab, the player identifies evidence and analyzes chemicals. Using the office computer, the player can hack into phone records and emails, or use a satellite to track down criminals.[2]
