Ubisoft today announced that it will release CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Hard Evidence for the Wii Xbox 360 this Fall. Marking the first appearance of the franchise on either console, the game will have players use the characters from the show to solve crimes using realistic techniques and lab equipment. Crime scenes will be taken directly from the show, including an all-new garage lab for analyzing large pieces of evidence, improved evidence finding, lab mini-games and more.

As expected, the game will be graphically enhanced for the Xbox 360; gamers on the Wii will be able to use the Wii remote to navigate through a crime scene and do other things within the game. The PC version will ship alongside the console versions.

More information on the game after the jump.
