Miami Law (NDS)
Miami Law has all the ingredients of popular crime/drama series: a shadowy terrorist conspiracy, furious shoot-outs in abandoned warehouses, challenging crime-scene detective work and more. Miami Law allows players to choose their path and experience the story from two points of view – either as the intense Law Martin from the Miami PD or the brainy Sara Starling from the FBI. Depending on which character they pick, players will be presented with different challenges. Playing as Sara will feature a puzzle-based, mystery solving element, whereas playing as Law will thrust 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.
“Fans of action shows like CSI, 24 and Law & Order will especially enjoy the action-adventure storyline of Miami Law,” said Mike Pepe, director of marketing at Hudson Entertainment. “With both furious action sequences and brain teasing puzzle-based games, Miami Law gives Nintendo DS owners diverse gameplay options along with hours of replayability.”
To make Miami Law an authentic Miami experience, Victor Ireland’s Gaijinworks handled the localization of the title and Miami Beat Wave composed music exclusively for game.
The second Miami Law demo is also now available for download at the Nintendo Channel on Wii. The Nintendo DS Demo includes two mini-games titled “Shootout Boss Antonio” and “Specify Bioweapon.” In “Shootout Boss Antonio,” Law and Sara arrived just in time to save Jessica Browne from Antonio and his crew. While Sara is dealing with Kelly, you, as Law, must handle Antonio by taking careful aim and using the exploding barrel to your advantage. Be sure to look out for grenades! The “Specify Bioweapon” mini-game takes place after the Cuban Connection left a valuable case at an airstrip after being intercepted by Law and Sara. Hidden inside the case is what looks to be a bio-weapon. You, as Sara, must compare the molecule to a database of other known substances by rotating the molecule to see which sample it matches. Get it right, and you’ll know what you’re dealing with!
Miami Law, rated T for Teen, is now exclusively available for NDS at an SRP of $29.99.
