CSI for Wii, 360 News

Xbox 360 Wii News by Robert Purchese

24 July, 2007

Ubisoft has announced that it's bringing CSI to Wii and 360 for the first time ever this autumn.

The game's called Hard Evidence and is being painstakingly pieced together by Telltale Games, the brain behind Sam & Max's episodic crime capers.

The story will revolve around the Las Vegas team from the popular show on telly, featuring familiar faces Gil Grissom and Catherine Willows to name a few. We think it should have been that ginger one with the dramatic voice from CSI: Miami as the star. He's our favourite.

Anyway, the aim of the game is to solve various murders by using a vast array of forensic special moves. Procedures. So you'll be investigating crime scenes for bits of hair and all sorts of things the lazy cops handily skimmed over.

Those of you interested on playing this on Wii will be treated to motion-sensing navigation around various environments, while Xbox 360 owners are promised super-flashy cinematic graphics. Both versions will feature new and specific controls to make catching the bad guys a cinch.

It's also going to be the biggest and best offering so far, with longer cases to solve and more tools at your disposal - taken straight from the TV series, apparently.

It's already been confirmed for PC, and will launch simultaneously on all platforms.

Pop over to our CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Hard Evidence gallery for the latest screenshots, or investigate Eurogamer TV for the latest trailer.

I can't stand C.S.I. but I'm pretty sure it's set in Vegas, not L.A.

Wouldn't mind a Bones game, but CSI...no.

But it says Vegas! I can't imagine it was ever wrong and said Los Angeles. No no. Absolutely not.

GIVE US CARUSO!

I love CSI but the previous games were pretty mediocre... maybe this new one will break the mould?

David Caruso. And Miami is the best version in my opinion, the setting and the action somehow makes it less morbid and depressing than it's siblings, Vegas and New York. Plus, Alexx FTW!

Every time Horatio Caine puts on his sunglasses, a small kitten dies ;-)

*records, rewinds, repeats. Over. And over. And over*

Seriously, CSI: Miami is stylish and cool in comparison to Vegas and New York. It plays upon something very classic - that you can carry a gun around, live in possibly the most beautiful surroundings in the civilised world, be impossibly cool, clever AND be a good guy on the side of the law! Miami was a stroke of genius in that respect. It's utter fantasy, classic good guys vs bad guys in 21st-century clothing. It is brilliant stuff, and more entertaining than Vegas and New York, where the settings are not paradise, it is usually very dark or very grotty and the characters always seem totally miserable!

At the end of every level it will retell that level in painstaking detail, treating you like the a clampett that didn't understand anything that happened in the pervious 45 minutes.

Hate C.S.I. / Love the games. The previous pc version is easily the best thing tell-tale has done. Bone and Sam and Max both traded off their licences and were very lazily built. C.S.I. worked and was compelling all the way through.

This may push me in to buying a wii. Hopefully the ps2 version and the DS versions are all different cases.

I'm a little disappointed that there is no PS3 or Wii downloadable versions. The cases break up perfectly for episodic gaming.

CSI is the best one. All other versions are pale imitations. Horatio Caine is always trying to out-Grissom Grissom, and that can't be done. He looks, sounds and acts like a prick. Not the sensual kind of guy that Grissom is.
