Today I’m TheJoelMH as always except for last Tuesday, that was weird, anywho we’ll be looking at NCIS the Videogame, oh I’m sorry I believe I’ve got that wrong, look at the cover below:
Yeah, that bottom bit is a notice not part of the title right, check the side of the box:
Yeah so the game’s full title is NCIS Based off the TV Series. You see we’re going to have problems here already don’t you.
Returning to actually voice their characters we have, David Mc Callum as Duckie and Robert Wagner as Dinozzo Sr. What everybody else was so busy, and of course we can completely forgive Mark Harmon, do you know why… let me get the picture.
Do you see a gamepad under Mark Harmon…. DO YOU SEE A GAMEPAD UNDER MARK HARMON. NO! Because Mark Harmon is cool.
No, but seriously we have impersonators instead, something very good, others… not so much. But we’re forgetting the most important reason why any straight man and lesbian watches this show…. Abby. I wonder how she looks in this game.
HOLY FUCK WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED! Seriously some of these faces look so goddamn messed up. Not only that but the characters move around kind of stiffly.
Now let’s examine the plot- well it centres around four ‘EPISODES’ that have individual stories that link up together in the end, beginning with a robbery and double homicide at a casino, the two murdered being former navy seals. The game has you jumping between characters, taking photos at crime scenes with easy camera controls with either, Ziva, Dinozzo or Gibbs, hacking with Mcgee which is very easy, examining bullets, fingerprints and chemicals by matching symbols with Abby which is very easy, searching corpses with a camera with Ducky which is very easy, you see where I’m going with this, this game is painfully easy. I completed this game with full achievements within a few hours, that’s right all achievements, because all are story based.
The problem with this game is it feels like it should of been an arcade game divided into four episodes rather than a full price disk game, good thing I got it 2nd hand huh. But to be honest it feels like a poor pc port as you control everything with a mouse clicker using the left control stick, even having the occasionally action where you have to press A on a circle and drag in a direction. Oh and I forgot the deduction board where you use the clues to deduce the criminal’s identity and the interviews where you use said evidence against the suspected, and this is the only bit that even feels slightly difficult even if it’s just tedious.
But seriously this game is so easy if it wasn’t for the content of the crimes I’d recommend this for children and even if it was an episodic download game like The Walking Dead it lacks in any depth that the walking dead has.
So ultimately do I recommend you buy NCIS, not really, unless you want easy gamerscore, I’ve been TheJoelMH, not watching NCIS Los Angeles, because there’s no Abby, laters!
