Product Description
Product Description
The story takes place in Grant City, USA, a once bustling gold-mining town turned corrupt--becoming "the hardest place on Earth." Jack Slate, a Grant City cop, arrives at a murder scene to discover that his father, private investigator and former cop Frank Slate, is the victim. As Jack begins the dangerous and labyrinthine task of finding his father's killer, he is framed for another murder. The twisting plot, seedy citizens of Grant City and high adrenaline action leave players wanting more.

Dead to Rights features more than a dozen game mechanics including diving, rolling, punching, kicking, and lethally disarming enemies in a variety of over-the-top ways. Jack's canine partner (a Husky named Shadow) lives up to the name "man's best friend," helping Jack investigate crime scenes, sniff out bombs, retrieve weapons and attack enemies. Unique game play scenarios, mini-games and stop motion special effects add to the action.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hong Kong action in your hands, 3 Mar 2003
This game is like a hong kong action movie that you can control. You play Jack Slate, a k9 cop thats been framed for murder. You have to play through a story full of plot twists, double crosses and the biggest supply of bad guys you've ever seen. The highlights of dead to rights is the ability to use any bad guy as a human shield. You can drag a helpless goon around the level taking bullets for you untill he is killed or you get tired of him and dispatch of your added protection with a single bullet. As in Max Payne "bullet time" is available to you to aid in the killing. This slows down time around you but allows you to aim and shoot in real time, this feature is so cool you will never grow tired of it. Also you have Shadow your dog that you can use occasionally to retrieve guns, sniff out bombs and help you out. The only downside i found is the camera is awfull at following you around, but you can rotate it yourself. All in all this game is full of amazing fast paced action putting you right in the middle of a John Woo movie. Overlook the camera flaw and you have yourself an amazing action game. You never get bored disarming a bad guy with your hands and knocking him off with his own gun, then slowing down time to take out the other 5 guys wanting to shoot at you before they've even fired a bullet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant game!, 25 Feb 2003
Namco have really pulled it off!

This game has to be one of my favourite titles on the Xbox.

It's like playing a game in an cop thriller movie.

The biggest attraction to me was the moves that can be executed by your character: you can perform slow motion dives while targeting multiple enemies at once, sneak dissarm attacks and my personal favourite the human shield - basically sneak up on an enemy, grab him and use him to protect you from enemy fire while you point your gun over his shoulder and blast away!

The game isn't just straight forward shooting, there's puzzles to solve, like unlocking doors, hotwiring vehicles and making a stripper dance... yes thats right "Making a stripper dance!". There's also obstacle elements where you use Shadow (the dog).

The controls are really easy to use.

The game has an all round dark, gritty atmosphere. The character animations are spot on. Graphics are really good, but not the best I've seen on the Xbox.

The only annoying thing is that there is a lot of movie sequences tat you can't skip.

Overall an excellent game that will keep you busy for ages!

Die Hard meets Tombraider!

1.0 out of 5 stars Dead and Buried, 28 Jul 2003
Every game should be like a good book - grabbing you right from the start and holding onto you until the end, making it almost impossible to put down.

Dead to Rights, however, is an exception to this rule, and in all honesty, has to be the worst game I have ever had the misfortune to play.

The game kicks off with an excellent introduction, which, to be frank, had me hooked from the beginning.With a kind of John Woo-style to the action, the game promised to be a rich blend of Hong Kong noir and hard boiled action, with a certain cinematic feel to the atmosphere and style of the game.

So what went wrong?

As soon as the intro finished and the game started I realsied all too soon the mistake I had made. The controls are too complex, often requiring numerous button combitations to perform actions. Targetting the enemy is a nightmare, as you cannot strafe and target at the same time, resulting in many frustrating moments. In fact, the only way you can actually kill anyone is by using the targetting mode, which limits the playability of the game, resulting in very little skill. Press the R Trigger to target, then repeat until everyone is dead. No skill needed.Poor.

The mini games seem to be rushed, and offer nothing new or varied from what other games seem to have done, and are very frustrating. The scene with the stripper, for example, requires precise timing to make her dance. Yet even when you time each press of the pad, it often dosent work, resulting in some very annoying back tracking.

Its obvious that the programmers have tried so hard to make this a Max Payne beater, but they seem to have forgot the fundemental aspects which made that game so enjoyable. In Dead to Rights there is 'bullet time' but executing it requires the use of four hands to dive, target, aim, shoot, etc. An impossible feat.

The graphics are diabolical,too arcadey, and resemble a poor version of Operation Winback on the N64. I was so disappointed with Dead to Rights that I sold it after playing it for only twenty minutes. The game offers no incentive to progress through the chapters, the control system is a joke that only a four handed mutant can use, the action is repetive, the ideas behind it, although sounding good on paper, are far too complex and frustrating to pull off.

Do not, under any circumstances, buy this game. Wait for True Crime to come out, or stick with Max Payne.
