CSI: Miami is a video game based on the CSI: Miami television series. The game was developed by Radical Entertainment (under the 369 Interactive label), published by Ubisoft, and was released for the Microsoft Windows on April 24, 2004.[contradictory] In 2008, Gameloft redeveloped the game for iOS.
This game, like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, follows a distinct pattern of five cases, with the fifth case tying together the previous four.
Plot
PC version
Case 1 – Later, Gator
A severed arm, belonging to a man named Tim Cole, has been found on a golf course next to the body of an alligator. In this case, the player works with
Case 2 – Crack or Jack
In a nightclub investigated by the FBI, the owner, Jack Wilson, is found dead in the middle of the dance floor, struck on the head with a lamp. In this case, the player works with
Case 3 – The Hate Boat
A woman is found dead in a boat with strangulation marks and a gunshot wound to the head. In this case the player works with
Case 4 – Sunstroke
Roy Diamond is found dead in a chair on the beach outside of his house, next to the body of his dog. There are no visual signs of murder but the death of two beings at once is too much of a coincidence to rule out the possibility of murder, especially after it comes to light that Diamond's son also died a suspicious death. In this case the player works with
Case 5 – Final Judgement
Judge Lawford is found dead in his study with a gunshot wound to the head. Suspects from all other cases are included in this one, as this is the case which ties the other cases together. In this case the player works with Horatio Caine, but when interviewing suspects, the player works with each of the other CSIs, depending which suspect the player interviews. Persons of interest are all the murderers from the previous four cases (Heather Cole, Ron Preston, the psychiatrist, and Denise Diamond); a journalist who worked with Lawford on his autobiography and claims to be abducted by one of the perps; Ty Landon; and Donny Bronson.
iOS Case
In the iOS version there is only one case. A woman's body is found washed up on South Beach with a gunshot wound in her shoulder and fluid in her lungs. In this case the player works as Horatio Caine. Her name is Madison Healey, the water in her lungs is chlorinated, and the gun isn't the murder weapon. The suspects are Joshua Martin; Ema Rodriguez; and Diego Sanchez.
