Second only to "Syphon Filter" in the handheld action stakes, Miami Vice really is a most pleasant surprise. Attractive, enjoyable, with a raft of extras, this is just what a movie license should be. [Issue 144, p.82]

There’s not a whole lot to Miami Vice, whether we’re talking about gameplay or appeal. It’s a fun enough game to play through once, but considering its low variety and even shorter length, it’s at best a rent.

PSW Magazine UK
Despite our low expectations, Miami Vice is competently made and surprisingly enjoyable. It isn't the most original of games and doesn't really push beyond the pattern established in the first mission, yet it does prove that PSP can 'do' shooting games and deserves some credit for that.

Worth Playing
Miami Vice has drugs, violence, hacking, and cussing, but in the end, it feels like the game is trying to hard to be, well, hard. It is not particularly bad, though definitely not very good.

Edge Magazine
The charismatic animation and evocative, sunset-hazed setting make up for a lot of the game's shortcomings, and although limited in lasting appeal, Miami Vice is solidly and imaginatively made. [Sept 2006, p.86]

Game Chronicles
The game is short and easy, combined with troublesome controls and bland visuals that don’t do justice to the wonderful material the game is based on.

Feels much like Syphon Filter combined with 24 the game on PS2. However, the downside is that gameplay is a bit too short, and there are some minor gameplay glitches..despite all this..it is certainly a great multiplayer experience that hardly gets old.… Expand
