Critic Reviews

70	Games Radar Of course, if eye candy, implied promiscuity, and becoming a rock star do happen to be your cup of tea, you'll certainly find Miami Nights much more engaging than the typical social sim.
56	Extreme Gamer A fun diversion, or guilty pleasure that doesn’t have any substance is the best way to discribe Gamelofts version of single life in Miami.
50	Pocket Gamer UK Miami Nights might have made a splash on mobile, but it cannonballs Nintendo DS with poor controls and a general lack of fun.
42	Cheat Code Central All of the things that The Sims is, Miami Nights: Singles in the City just isn't. It is repetitive and boring, and just can't deliver in the way that fans of sim-style gameplay could appreciate. Plus the characters are a little too creepy for my tastes.
40	IGN We're glad that this Teen-rated game didn't go so far as to completely teach minors how to become prostitutes. They pull a MacGyver and leave out the last crucial step.
40	NintendoWorldReport Miami Nights simply isn't fun. It's highly repetitive, as the entire game is "get money, spend money." Character interactions don't feel realistic in any regard.
