Story: In the beginning of the game there is a cut scene about a new drug, that is spreading fast. As key members of the Tactical Narcotics Team (TNT), you play Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. Your job is to find a Drug dealer name Tulio Mendoza who is a general of the Columbian Cartels in Miami. Rumors have it that in Miami he has created an alliance with the Russian Mafia. He has remained untouched by the law. His total disregard of human life is only matched by his desire to constantly consume the finest Cuban cigars...

Game play: This game plays a lot like a First-Person Shooter, but you are playing in a Third-Person position. The feature that really hasn't been done in a game is a mode called "Cover Mode" which you take cover from a certain spot the has a orange or white circle pressing Square. The other thing that is cool is that you can aim before you even lean out, so you can easily take someone out if aim for the head or disarm his gun, so you won't get shot. Some of the bosses can get annoying, but once you learn their strategy you can take them out easily.
Rate: 8

Control: The game has First-Person control, but in a Third-Person position like I said in the Game play section. The controls takes some time getting used to, but once you have it done, you will have a blast.

Graphics: This game has average graphics, nothing really to get excited about. Most the of the enemies look the same when your playing a stage, which gets boring killing them the same people over and over again. Various items can be destroy that are on the level like: glasses, locks, windows, paintings and more. Also the stages look different, so they won't get repetitive.

Multi player: None

Sound: The thing that sucks the most and Bad Boys fan will be disappointed is that they don't have Will Smith's or Martin Lawrence's voice in the game, but it the game still has its funny moments. The weapons sound good and the music is pretty good, that gets you in the mood to kill one of those Cartel or Russian Mafia members. Also the environment sounds are good, like shooting a window, you can hear it brake.

Replay: There isn't really any replay in the game, but they do have various items you need to collect. Here are a some of the items you need to get: evidence, drugs and mugs. At the end of each level you get a "Stage Statistics" to tell you how you performed in certain categories like: Evidence, Kills, Accuracy, Disarms and Executions. Now the new feature thats been a couple games is a feature that is a little different from other games: Perfect Cop and Bad Cop. You get Perfect Cop, by collecting all the evidence and various other objectives. One way you can get Bad Cop is destroy various item for no reason.
Rating: 7

Conclusion: You can find this game pretty cheap and its pretty fun to play. The two problems I have tho is that there is a no Multi player and they don't got Will Smith's and Martin Lawrence's voice for the game. If you just looking for a cheap game and fun game, this is the game to get.
