Its not a bad game the concept is pretty cool but what really sucks is the camera view it sometimes flips out , but other than that not bad if you pay under $10 bucks for it lol...

Occasionally fun but mostly a dull bore

I got Dead to Rights hoping for some great shoot-em-up action. And while I got that in bucketloads, it's only rarely engaging. The story plays out like film noir and has a hardened cop called Jack Slate (who really belongs in an 80s action movie) investigate his dad's murder only to end up being framed for various crimes and in the middle of huge conspiracy.

And so the game has you blast and fight your way through prisons, mines, air-force bases, dockyards, factories, cliff-sides, nightclubs, construction yards, out of control airplanes and hotels. It feels like a cross between Die Hard Vendetta and Resident Evil 4 (which I hated) as you seem to do nothing but shoot generic bad guys from start to finish. It becomes incredibly boring and is only slightly redeemed by a few intense shoot-outs. There IS the occasional fisticuffs but the mêlée system is poor to non-existent and there is no skill involved in defeated your opponent outside of button mashing.

Plus, the graphics are rotten. The cut-scenes look right out of a mid-90s CD-ROM and the gameplay graphics may look adequate but have a very jerky habit and the camera system will drive you crazy. And the voice acting is quite bad too with the exception of a few lively characters. The guy who plays Jack Slate sounds as bored as a living human can possibly be.

I can't rate this game particularly high. Find it somewhere cheap if you must, otherwise it's not the best shoot-em-up out there and I suggest you invest your time and money in something else. I'll pass on Dead to Rights 2.

This is a cool game. Gun blazing action with good story line.
I Showed my cousin Jerry this and he copied me right away.
It is a cool shooting game with crap graphics. But you can do combos and stuff. Its mainly, BANG BANG BANG AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
And Tap...tap...tap....Crack!! Thump...Shooting, snaping necks,
and fist fighting. If you like shoot em up action then get it and rubb it in there face.

This is the best game I've played in a while

Dead to Rights is 10 times better than Max Payne and True Crime:Streets of L.A. The fighting scenes are realistic with a Matrix like gun dive. You have disarming move combinations that will keep you facinated. If you're thinking of buying True Crime I'd recommend this game before you do(It's better and cheaper). Only disapointment that it is overly bloody, but that feature is easy to turn off.

Spotted Elk really enjoys this game

this game is very simmilar to die hard vandetta but, BETTER.this game has foul language, lots of blood, and good graphics. in simmilar games if you didn't have a gun you had to get one by picking on up of their dead body after using your hands and feet to kill him but, in this game if you don't have a gun you can just break their neck and take it or grab their head flip them sidways and shoot them in the head. the game is also loaded with minigames. i would defiantly recomend this game but,i will say it may not be sutible for young children

This game is bloody-war! There is a surplus of weapons to always keep you hooked! Slow-motion techniques are a big hit. The story line keeps you wondering what will happen next. With enemies from construction workers to clowns to thugs, it will keep you at the edge of your seat! Allies ranging from politicans to man's best friend will always be on your side!

Official Synopsis:
One good cop. One very bad situation.
Meet Jack Slate. A cop on the beat in Grant City... unaware that his next call is about to change his life. What he discovers will send him on a downward spiral into a labyrinth of corruption, betrayal, and crime. A super charged Action Noir thriller, Dead to Rights goes beyond Hollywood's best action movies: The gripping storyline, the larger-than-life action hero, and the adrenaline-charged experience deliver the performance of a lifetime. All that's missing is you!

My thoughts:
The synopsis on the back of the game (the one above) is all true. This is a great game. The storyline is gripping, and I think it would make an excellent action movie. This game is available on all three next-gen consoles, so I reccommend picking it up for EVERYBODY. This game is great. It's very well done, and I salute Namco.

Forget it.

It's supposed to be really hard. If you're up for the challenge then try it but if not then FORGET IT.

this game was of extreme difficulty, but very fun. lots of fast-paced action. definitely a must for acion/shooter lovers. moderately easy in the beginning, but difficulty progresses as the game does.
