I bought this game and beat it after 2-3 days. I played it several times on all different difficulties and unlocked everything. It was good while it lasted but it was way too short.
Boring and Drabby

I played this game when it first came out abd I was expecting something fun and exciting. Instead, what I got was a walk and shoot, walk and shoot type of game. That's all you do in this game. You walk, crouch, shoot, wait for animated cutscenes and that's it. There's no creativity to this game. No challange. No nothing. This game is boring with a capital B. Ypu'll tire of this quickly and demanding your moeny back. If you do like this series though, you should get it as a rental or as a used game.
The graphics aren't even that good. This game was made like the developers were drunk or in a hurry. Plus, they decided that it's a good way to make money but word of advice: If the console versions flop don't attmept to recoup losses by putting the failure on to a handheld because that's just low especially when you charge $50 for it.
practicly sucks!

This game its fun once you get the hang of it. but to me its really really hard and itd repititive. every level (although im only on the second) you shoot like ten guys, kick a door open go on to the next level shoot ten guys. the graphics are pretty good the music is ok, but the two things i absolutly hate about it is that itts so hard and the controls stink. And hey ive had this game one hour and im already wrighting a review about how bbad it is. in my opinion dont waste your money on this game. much rather rent it.
WAY FUN. WAY TOO VIOLENT

THis game is alot of fun. I know what people have said. The graphics are terrible, the control stinks ... blah blah blah. THis game is a lot of fun. Bullet time fast gunning action can't be beat. Unless you have some assemblance of a soul. YOu can not honestly play this and feel like everything is ok. THough I had fun, I felt guilty the entire time I played it. Every single level requires you to bust down a door and begin completely obliterating about 12 people. This can't be good for the soul can it? SO, though it may be tempting. Avoid this one. I can not recommend a game that glorifies so much blood and gore.
Bottom Line: Is it Fun? Yep. Will I keep it? You will finish it in about a week. Multiplayer is terrible. Is it for kids? You should be huung if you let your kids play this one. And, what's bad for kids is rarely good for parents.
Do not waste your money

This game is just bad. The storyline is short and the ending just wanted to make me puke. Whenever I buy a new game I always research and read the customer reviews which has helped me not waste my money, well I did waste it on this one. If you really want to play it rent it for the weekend, you will beat the game in about 3 hours.
This is not a good game

This game is more like the arcade shooting game. The controls are set up extremely poorly. Even worse, it is just not very entertaining
Just a bad game overall

The PSP version of Dead to Rights is a fun shoot-'em-up game that features "bullet time": when you press and hold the dive button (the triangle) button, you enter slow motion time where you can pick off each target and kill them with just one shot. It takes some practice to do this, as right after you enter the slow motion "bullet time" -- it lasts just a few seconds -- you have to lock each target, shoot, lock the next target, shoot, repeat. It's easier said than done, hampered by the stupid in-game camera, which often messes up your game. The camera is insanely stupid at time, which is why I give this game only 2 stars. It's really very poorly implemented on the PSP, which has a small, cramped-feeing control pad to start with.
The other reason for the two star rating is the game is ridiculously short. Just rent it from Blockbuster (which, BTW, lets you keep a game or video for up to two weeks) and I bet you can finish it in a day or two. Multi-player mode is pretty lame after a while, too, as there's little variety. The soundtrack is okay and adds to the mayhem experience. Finally, while at times you can command your loyal dog Shadow to attack your enemy, it's a rather limited feature.
Seriously, the game could have been so much better. I thought after all the problems they had with the console versions, the developers would finally get the gameplay right. Nope.
Verdict: do NOT waste your money on this one. It's too short and too frustrating at times. At best a rental title.
A fun game but with some flaws

Well, another new game has arrived for the psp and at first I was really excited about this one. The graphics look great, the sound is good, and overall the gameplay is alot of fun blasting enemies in a slow motion bullet time dive. The controls are pretty good but for only having one analog nub the camera isn't as bad as you might think. But for all those considering buying this game, be warned that it is extremely short. I normally take my time playing new games that I buy but I was able to beat this game right away. Sure you can unlock new multiplayer levels and skins but since none of my friends own this, there is little incentive for me to go for that. Hopefully we will get another sequel or something down the road with a longer story because that is all it would have took for me to fully recommend this game.
