'CSI' Mobile Game Features Real Phone Calls In Gameplay

CBS is taking the whole "call the cops" thing to a whole new level.

Characters in the new edition of the 'CSI' mobile game actually call the player with clues to solving in-game mysteries.

Gameloft has come up with a solution that enables players to activate the interactive phone call feaeture, through which they'll receive automated calls during the game with clues and tips to lead them to new crime scenes.

The game comes as mobile titles tied to TV "crime procedurals" proliferate. Just last week I posted about the new "Law & Order: Celebrity Betrayal" mobile game.

With its new capabilities, "CSI" is keeping ahead of the curve.

As Gonzague de Vallois, SVP at Gameloft, tells Mobile Entertainment: "Our mission has always been to push the envelope on game development and we are confident we have succeeded with this game."
