Miami Law Nintendo DS Review
Miami Law is a simple, short, and thoroughly ridiculous buddy-cop graphic adventure steeped in mediocrity.

C.O.P. The Recruit Nintendo DS Hands-On
Illegal street racers make for good cops in this DS action game from Ubisoft.
In Ubisoft’s upcoming third-person action game, C.O.P The Recruit, you play as a Dan Miles, a former street racer turned crime fighter in the Criminal Overturn Program, or C.O.P. for short. That might be the worst code-name for a fictional law enforcement division in the history of the world, but C.O.P. The Recruit has plenty to be excited about, including a big city to explore, some interesting controls, and some of the best 3D graphics we’ve seen on the handheld to date. We recently had a chance to play a limited demo of the game, which is due for release late this year.
C.O.P. The Recruit Nintendo DS Trailer Impressions
Nintendo shows off gameplay footage from this third-person action adventure at its E3 press conference.
This morning, at its annual E3 press conference, Nintendo showed a brief trailer for Ubisoft’s recently trademarked C.O.P. The Recruit. Described as an action adventure, the game appears to incorporate third-person on-foot shooting sequences, as well as high-speed vehicles that include a police car, a monster truck, a speedboat, and presumably lots more. Most of the gameplay in the trailer took place outdoors, but protagonist Dan Miles (a plays-by-his-own-rules cop, no doubt) also appeared inside a large casino at one point.
Unlike Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, which is perhaps the most obvious game to compare C.O.P. The Recruit to, the upcoming game employs a more traditional third-person perspective. When you’re driving, one of the screens will be used to display a map of the city, which appeared to be comparable in size to Chinatown Wars’ Liberty. We look forward to bringing you more information on C.O.P. The Recruit just as soon as we can get our hands on it.
