Stephen Kelley from VGChartz writes: "All in all Miami Law may have been the best Adventure game that I have played in a while that wasn't in some way related to the Phoenix Wright series. With all of the top notch music, dialog and attention to detail, this is a title that all adventure game fans on the DS should love to play - that is if they can get past the short playtime. If you are looking for a good cop-based adventure game that mirrors television shows of the genre, then you really can't look any further than this little gem."
Gaming Nexus writes: "I have made no secret about the fact that I want another Snatcher sequel. I loved the original Sega CD version and even stumbled through the Japan-only sequel, Policenauts. I've devoted a big chunk of my life to trying to convince somebody (ANYBODY!) that a third Snatcher game was a fantastic idea. But maybe I've been wrong all this time. In a lot of ways Miami Law, Hudson's newest adventure game for the Nintendo DS, plays like a modern day version of Hideo Kojima's 1988 cyberpunk masterpiece. And while that may sound like a compliment, I assure you it is not."
N-Philes writes: "Generally speaking, adventures involving drug-busting police officers in Miami don't typically come to mind when thinking of niche Japanese videogames. Sometimes the names alone of these games are enough to make one wonder about what the hell is happening on the other side of the Pacific. Sometimes, though, attempts to bring titles over to Western shores are marked by crushing failure. So when publisher Working Designs closed its doors in 2005 only to resurface as Gaijinworks and take three years to localize its first title, one could understandably be forgiven for thinking: Miami Law? Really?"
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.
I like these types of games. The length kinda sucks, but it's a good thing Gamefly exists.
