Poor Max Payne Rip-Off.

This Has to be the worst Max Payne Rip-off in History. Poor Graphics, Linear Story, & a Cheese-ball Character. Plus, The auto aim is annoying. There isn't anything awesome you're missing if you skip this game.

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.

Quite possibly the worst game I've ever played.

First and foremost, it looks like a commercialized Max Payne rip-off. I love Max Payne and I wouldn't mind if a game was using the same formula, but this took the formula and modified it for the more "sell-out" approach. The first FMV sequence was not the kind of thing I'd want to see in a game.

Secondly are the controls. Horrible. I know it probably doesn't mean a whole lot when a PC gamer says the controls are horrible for a console shooter, but the controls are to the point of being almost unplayable. If this were its controls were its only flaw, it could have been redeemed, but alas, it has much bigger problems.

Next on the list is the scaling of difficulty. There are no selectable skill levels, and the progression of difficulty is a pure absurdity. On one level you might get hit a few times, on the next level you'll get killed about twenty times before you finally lose patience with the game. Also, the dog, while a good idea for game mechanics, is a retarded implementation. The controls for him are nearly as bad as they are for the main character.

Another gaping problem is the camera and locking scheme. I'd say that 90% of the time you trace a lock on someone, it's not a person who any reasonable human would want to fire at first. You'll be flanking more than you'll be hitting actual targets. The way the camera always goes to the most inconvenient angles also helps for enemies to sneak up on you unnoticed and kill you with one shot. Sickening.

So if you have some extra money, I'd suggest spending it on Max Payne or Max Payne 2. Overall I was greatly unimpressed by the gameplay. It was worse than Pariah, yet somehow gaming magazines rated it a 9 and Max Payne 2 a 7, claiming Dead To Rights was an original, classic game while Max Payne 2 was a cheap rip-off.

Avoid this game at all costs.

Another shooting & driving game. The graphic is bad.

You play as a cop in this game. You can rob a car just like in Grand theft auto. The worst problem of this game is the graphic.It does not have many details.
The car you're driving look almost the same as others on the street. They are all black or dark brown!
Id rather play Maxpayne 2 or Burnout 3

Great Shooting Game: Not Max Payne Bop Off

Dead to Rights is about a cop named Jack Slate that is in somewhat similiar situation as Max Payne (except he has a dog).
The gameplay is different from Max Payne and the game overall has alot of pluses and minuses.

PLUS: The disarms are great, it can always get you out of a tough situation, also the dog attack is an automatic killer you also get their weapon. The bullet time is done nicely (nothing to add more than its bullet time). The different choice of arsenals are great. The AI are also very intelligent and has great AIM which makes this game a bit challenging at times.

MINUS: Some graphics and cutscenes are just flat out horrible. Like the cars, and the cutscenes when they talk and their mouth doesnt move(Mind speaking?). Camera: you constantly have to find yourself switching to the default cameral because you are getting killed because you went around the corner... Stupid Submissions: some of the submissions are okay, like picking a lock and disarming the bomb, but the weight lifting and the punching bags and those type just test how long can your thumb last without getting tired or hurt.

Storyline: very similiar to Max Payne. A framed cop going after corrupted people with alot of power in their hand who hires people to kill you, and you find a mysterious girl who helps you named Eve but never gets to completely to know her (reminds you of Mona Sax???) and how you look for revenge.

Overall: Overall, i thought this game was great with some errors that could be ignored and overcame. It just takes alot of patience because some missions in this game just seem impossible until you find out your suppose to leave instead of keep fighting (OOOOOO!!!!) but the difficulty of the game is very high with very intelligent AI.

Gameplay: 8.5
Graphics: 7.5
Storyline: 8.5
Sound: 8.0
Replay Value: 8.5 *if you want to see the amazing disarming moves.
OveralL: 8.2

The game was ok, but some parts were very hard to get through. They should have had different difficulty levels of play (like easy) the controls were a bit slow also. I would be fighting someone and they would take me out because of a slow response time, not because of anything else. If you could live with all that stuff, than the game is good choice. If you like shooting, fighting and fast paced action this is a game to try.

not for youngsters you play as a striper at times

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.

My ten cent review for a worthless game.

I'll make this quick. The graphics are ok, the story sucks, and the game play is worse than AIDS. If you like the crime genre try Max Payne, cause this game Blows.
