I 1st purchased this game because a friend told me it was good. This game is packed with action great game play and good graphics. I played this 1 until I finished it. I will now purchase part 2.

Disappointing

I totally hated the camera angles of this game, they were awful. There really is not much of a strategy to follow to beat Dead To Rights. Just a lot of button mashing and ducking. This seemed more like a typical FPS. The story was pretty stupid and while I applaud the efforts of adding stuff like arm wrestling, lock picking, being a stripper, etc. to spice the game, it just made the game not only brainless but cheesy. I was expecting better.

This game is just plain awesome. That is all I have to say. The graphics are great (not the best the Xbox can show) but otherwise are good. The diving forward in slow motion while shooting guys move never gets old. This game is difficult at times but is stilling fun and action packed. By playing this game it makes me want to keep going and going and keep trying and trying. This is not my favorite game of all time (which is Grand Theft Auto 3) but is definetly worth the money. If you want to play long, fun, cool game with a challenge than buy this.

Great game, but with a few flaws that shouldn't be there.

I think that the game is awesome, great graphics, great story line, great slow-motion action, but the in game character speach, could use some work, well, actully, they could atleast make it so the characters actully move there mouths when they talk. But other than that, the game rocks!

What a disappoinment

This game had the potional to be a great game, but it flopped. This game isnt worth [the price], maybe a nice [lower] price .... Game is loaded with problems from gliches to problems with viewing angels. Game seems like it was made by Helen Keller, by the angels you have the view the game in the fights scenes with. But this game is like crack its not good but you keep wanting more of it.

Frustration galore

Today is the 4th day I've had this game on rental from Blockbuster, and no doubt about it, it's way too frustrating to be fun. The graphics is good, the storyline stupid but tolerable, and lurking somewhere you can sense a fun factor, but the difficulty and insanely unpredictable controls make this game sadistically unpleasant to play. A total letdown.

Another thing that pisses me off is, this is a time exclusive title for the Xbox. While it's nice to have an Xbox-only game even if just for a few months, this game is so poorly programmed that I'm thinking we Xbox fans are being used as guinea pigs. If the PS2 version plays better than this one, I'll never buy another Namco game again.

Just Plain Old Dead.......a poor effort from Namco

Dead To Rights seemed like an exciting title in the weeks ensuing its initial release - but after (thankfully) renting this title I found it to be a pleasant experience on the eyes, but nothing else. The graphics are sharp and detailed, but the gameplay and camera angles leave a lot to be desired. Not only that, the amount of ammunition it takes to put down a run-of-the-mill peon is near improbable.....two to three shots up close with a shotgun?! I don't think so.
The camera angles are atrocious! When you have to fight several enemies you have to maneuver your character all around the room (basically running around) to find other guys to battle. And when you fight them you sometimes cannot even see them until they are in the midst of throwing a blow...that's not cool.
Usage of slow motion (a-la Max Payne, a superior title to this one) is helpful and pretty darn cool - you can throw explosive canisters and shoot them, causing an explosion around your enemies, plus you can avoid other bullets that way, as well. Max Payne seems to be much better at this, though.
To sum it up, don't buy this title - ever! If you are looking for a vigilante cop style game, stick with Max Payne. It does everything Dead To Rights does and more, just with better success. DTR was obviously rushed out of development, or it would not have been so terrible. Rent it first - you might like it. I'm leaning toward a majority of dislikes, though. Happy gaming!

Not What You'd Expect

Like you, I read most of the reviews from customers and thought I'd form my own opinion and rent it. This game is NOT user friendly. Since when in God's green Earth is it allowed that when you move a joystick left, you look right? Or that you're immediately disarmed when you advance to a new level? I had a difficult time relating this game to anything remotely realistic. How many rogue cops do you know that run around in full uniform without a service weapon in the BAD part of town?! Or, when was the last time you saw an unarmed cop?! Not gonna happen. Game play was mediocre. First shooter stuff was okay, but got annoying with every advancing group of bad guys to take out and you're one guy with limited firepower. Hell, you can't even JUMP! Oh, but you can dive in slo-mo, ooh! Big deal. Max Payne makes this game look like the chump that it is. The only props I give it are for the Intro Trailer, and a few moves that the main character can do. Other than that, Namco needs to re-work it.

A very sweet game

I went to a friends place to check this game out, I'm hooked. It
may resemble Max Payne in many ways, but this game does alot more
than M.P. For one, Max didn't have the auto-targeting, a dog that does the cool $hit he can do, no hand to hand skills( which by the way looked like max was [not smat]), and not quite as colorful an environment. The camera angles were the biggest pain I had with the game, not impossible but a pain sometimes.

Good Game - A Little Monotonous

Good game - I had no problem with the controls. The auto-targeting feature will actual turn the character around for you making it easier to shoot subjects not in the direct field of view. Games get a lot worse than this but make no mistake about it - this is a Max Payne type game with much more violence, less plot, and more difficult. Sometimes the difficulty gets overwhelming but it is manageable if you are patient. Some levels I had to try 20 times to get past them which some people would view as excessive. I thought games were supposed to be challenging - sounds like many people want games they can breeze through in the few hours. There are standard ways to get through each level with practice.

Didnt like the lack of plot. Didnt like the number of people you had to constantly kill - it felt like a gauntlet a huge mass of people constantly come at you from every direction.
