Bad Boys: Miami Takedown

About

Bad Boys Miami Takedown casts you as a cop in a pair of mismatched partners chasing drug cartels through Miami. Play as either the reckless enforcer or the sharpshooting sniper as you chase leads, plant bombs, and shoot through walls in 15 missions. Switch between first or third person for different angles on gunfights and car chases. Hunt for evidence in crumbling buildings and open fire on rival gangs while managing limited ammo and health pickups. The game mirrors the movie’s over-the-top action with explosive set pieces and quick time events for hand-to-hand combat. The game hit shelves in 2004 with support for PC and consoles of the era. Critics noted the chaotic fun and destructible environments though some found the pacing uneven. With a 72% Metacritic score it remains a footnote in early 2000s action games. Fans of buddy cop movies might recognize the tone if not the plot. Short missions and arcadey combat keep it light but repetitive by modern standards.
