  • Summary: (Also known as "Miami Crisis") Living the life of a detective on the beat is everyone's dream. From using your sharp analytical skills to solve a mystery, to putting your life on the line in an intense shoot-out, or shaking down the bad guy; a detective's life truly seems like life on the edge. Now, Hudson is set to give you a taste of that life with Miami Law, an all new adventure on Nintendo DS that has you saving the world with your fingertips! Miami Law is an action-adventure game packed with all of the ingredients of a prime-time TV show: an intricate storyline with a shadowy terrorist conspiracy, furious shoot-outs in abandoned warehouses, challenging crime-scene detective work and more. Players will have many opportunities to choose their path and change the story - either as the intense Law Martin from the Miami PD or the brainy Sara Starling from the FBI. Players are presented with different challenges depending on which character they pick - playing as Sara features a puzzle-based element, whereas playing with Law thrusts the player into the action, often into car chases or shoot-outs where taking out the bad guys is the only way to get results. Unlockable extras, including Texas Hold ‘Em Poker and Sudoku, are included to take the pressure off players when the tension gets thick. [Hudson Entertainment] Expand

  1. As digital comics go, I had a lot of fun with Miami Law. Though it's a little rough around the edges at times and could have been longer, it has a lot going for it and doesn't let up once the story kicks into gear.
  2. Five missions offer a solid amount of play time, but you won't want to be revisiting this drama when it's all said and done.
  3. In spite of all the similarities, Miami Law turned out to be a better game than Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles-but not by much. Miami Law has higher production values and a more ambitious scope, but overall these games share a surprising number of pitfalls, which leaves me wondering who they were designed for.

    I think this is game is pretty good. It combines the story with fun mini-games. The Graffics are comic-type most time, but mini.games are usually in 3D. It's a little bit short, but looking for all the endings(almost unlimited) make it longer. The story is like a Thriller film, you never know what's gonna happen. The music is correct and make you feel in the 80s. It's a good game if you like thriller and policial films. Expand
