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]

Play Magazine
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.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
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.
Read Full Review >Worth Playing
Miami Law is certainly an acquired taste. It's not a visually stunning game and the sound, or lack thereof, leaves something to be desired.
Read Full Review >Official Nintendo Magazine UK
It's not terrible, just awkward. [Oct 2009, p.84]
RPG Fan
It's fun, but incredibly flawed. As long as it's taken as such, fans of the adventure genre will probably have fun playing it like I did.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
Miami Law isn't horrible. But its fast-paced 24-style plot just doesn’t mesh with the slow and methodical gameplay found in point-and-click titles like these.
Read Full Review >GameZone
Miami Law provides some solid old school adventuring and a few decent mini-games, but the plot is generic and the gameplay doesn’t stand out enough to make it recommendable over other similar DS titles.
Read Full Review >GamePro
Weighing in at five cases, Miami Law isn't a terribly long game nor is it terribly original, but for what it is -- a rather mindless police point and click -- it's a decent enough adventure.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
A package riddled with niggles. [Sept 2009, p.69]
GameSpot
Miami Law is a simple, short, and thoroughly ridiculous buddy-cop graphic adventure steeped in mediocrity.
Read Full Review >Gaming Nexus
Miami Law could have been an edge-of-your-seat adventure game, a mash-up of 24 and Hotel Dusk. Unfortunately it takes too long getting to the point and is rarely fun along the way.
Read Full Review >Games Master UK
If you want to play cop on your DS, try to Import "Tokyo Beat Down" instead. [Oct 2009, p.80]
Adventure Gamers
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.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Power
Adventure games could get away with cheap trial-and-error challenges 20-odd years ago, but that definitely doesn't wash anymore. [July 2009, p.89]
