Miami Crisis is a game unique to the Nintendo DS/DSi and is due for release on 25th September 2009 – but you can pre-order it now.

This game is a mixture of criminal investigation and action elements, with the player controlling one of two characters: Martin Law of the Miami PD or FBI agent Sara Starling.

Both of them have the task of solving a series of interconnected crimes in the city. Officer Law is more of a roughneck character who likes to use his fists if necessary, whereas Starling has an intellectual approach and an eye for details. If the players control Martin Law, they experience the rough side of law enforcement and an action-oriented gameplay: breakneck car chases, dangerous gunfights and face-offs with the world of crime. If they play as Starling, Miami Crisis gets more puzzle-oriented. The FBI agent uses advanced forensic and criminological investigation techniques while looking for important clues.

Both cops try to uncover an underground terrorist conspiracy. Law and Starling – the ultimate cop show for Nintendo’s handheld. The dynamically developing gameplay and variable content make Miami Crisis a unique Nintendo DS title, gripping and continuously evolving right from the start.

The latest in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series of games for the Nintento DS/DSi is due for release on 25th September 2009, but is available now for pre-order.
