Bad Boys 2 is a third-person shooter that's based on the popular film franchise of the same name, featuring two detectives who battle drug gangs on the streets of Miami, Florida. Most games based on movies are often seen as underwhelming and lackluster, and unfortunately, Bad Boys 2 is a stunning example of that mediocrity. While it's fun enough to shoot through waves of enemies as you travel from level to level, there's just nothing remarkably special about this basic third-person shooter.

Main Game Features

  • Play as your favorite characters from the Bad Boys movie
  • Take down criminals in third-person shootouts
  • Over 15 levels across 5 story acts

Story

While Bad Boys 2 features characters and environments from the movie of the same name, the game features an original story set within the same universe. In the game, you step into the shoes of two Miami detectives, Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowry. At the beginning of the story, two feuding drug gangs decide to put aside their differences and work together to build a criminal empire. However, when another gang called the Baby Demons start to spark up trouble, it's not long before the Miami police are hot on their tail.

Truthfully, the story in Bad Boys 2 leaves a lot to be desired. The characters are wooden and the dialogue is not very good, while the narrative stays predictable throughout the entire game. While there are several new characters and some returning favorites, it might be hard to recognize them, as none of the characters are played by the original actors. Most of the time, the storytelling falls flat and there's not much excitement to be had. However, if you really love the Bad Boys movies, you might be happy enough playing as the two main characters.

Gameplay

Bad Boys 2 takes inspiration from other popular third-person shooter games like Max Payne and The Punisher, leading players through over a dozen levels in Miami. In each level, you control either Marcus or Mike as you shoot through hundreds of criminals, attempting to reach the end of the stage without losing all of your health. For most of the game, you'll use your trusty pistol as a main weapon, but can also throw grenades for a bit of explosive action. Levels play out in a linear fashion, ushering you from one shootout to the next, so there's very little downtime. There's not much strategy to be had, but you can take cover behind various objects in the environment if you want to mix in some tactical shooting.

Beyond this basic premise, Bad Boys 2 doesn't try to mix things up or offer any interesting features or mechanics to speak of. The controls are awkward and the camera doesn't help the gameplay experience, as it often gets stuck in odd places or makes it hard to see the action. Glitches can make the game even more frustrating, forcing you to restart levels due to a lackluster checkpoint system. While it's fun to shoot bad guys for a few minutes at a time, you'll likely get bored of Bad Boys 2 after a few missions.

Conclusion

When compared to most other third-person shooters, Bad Boys 2 sits at the bottom of the pile, rarely striving for anything other than middling gameplay. The idea of an original story set in the Bad Boys universe is enticing, but at the end of the day, the execution is painfully underwhelming.
