LOS ANGELES (April 20, 2006) – Vivendi Universal Games’ Sierra Entertainment has announced the development of Miami Vice The Game, a thrilling third-person action shooter inspired by the Universal Pictures crime drama, Miami Vice, in theaters July 28, 2006.

Developed by UK-based Rebellion, Miami Vice The Game will be available exclusively for the PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) system in July 2006. The development of the game comes through an agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group.
“By taking full advantage of the advanced technology on the PSP system, Miami Vice
The Game will deliver action-packed missions and highly-detailed locations that capture the danger-filled lives of the film’s main characters and immerse players in the authentic world of Miami Vice,” said Cindy Cook, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer for VU Games.
In Miami Vice The Game, players follow a storyline set just before the events of the film. Gamers must build up the nefarious reputation necessary to infiltrate the seedy underbelly of South Beach, and ultimately bring down the organization of an “untouchable” South American drug lord.
