IGN Preview of Miami Law
Hudson is delivering an action adventure mash-up to the Nintendo DS this June with Miami Law. The game is a little Phoenix Wright-ish in that the story unfolds through a graphic adventure and there is a lot of text and still art to scroll through. But there are also action event sequences that require a little more dexterity.
The intricate plot involving a terrorist conspiracy is very 24. Players follow two playable characters: Law Martin of the Miami PD and the brainy (and sexy) Sara Sterling of the FBI. The story will branch off at key moments depending on which character players choose to control.
We played shooting and driving sequences during our session. Both were very simple and short, almost mini-games. The shooting event was on a fixed screen and we simply tapped on bad guys as they popped out from behind cover. During the driving sequence, we controlled Law behind the wheel while Sara leaned out the passenger side window and fired at a getaway car. To steer, players can either tap or use the D-pad. But we don't have complete control of the car – it will jump immediately from lane to lane. The object is to dodge other cars and gunfire from the enemy.
We also played a puzzle game where we had to analyze a complex molecule and find its match among several similar photos.
Miami Law feels weighted more towards the adventure genre than action. It will include some fun unlockables such as Texas Hold 'Em and Sudoku.
