Our February IGN First "cover story" kicks off right now with Mouse: P.I. for Hire! Enjoy 12 minutes of exclusive gameplay from the upcoming rubberhose-animated first-person shooter starring Troy Baker as the titular rodent detective Jack Pepper. This gameplay is from Vaudeville, the second mission of the campaign and the first case Jack gets assigned. We'll have more exclusive coverage all February long as part of IGN First! Mouse: P.I. for Hire casts you as the aforementioned private investigator Jack Pepper, moving through its 1930s-era, hand-drawn, black-and-white cartoon world with an array of appropriately cartoony guns in hand to get the job done when talking just won't cut it.
