Rating Reviewed By Nightmare(6) Review Date 12/28/2003 Overall Rating  4 of 5 Value Rating  0 of 5 Rate this review? Summary This is a good game to own for those who enjoy a challenge. This is a very difficult game so be prepared to get frustrated at times.Sound The sound was pretty good. The richocet sounds all around were a nice touch.Gameplay The gameplay was good. Some complain about the lack of save points throughout the levels. I believe that this is a good feature, it makes you work harder when you play and when you finally beat that level you feel much more rewarded. If you could save the game at any point then you could just suicide run and gun everybody down. I don't think that this was the way the developers wanted the game to be played. Some have said that the disarm feature wasnt useful. It was for me. I have needed to grab a gun for a number of people before. In some situations you may be pinned down with limited ammo. So once you run out you can either use your dog Shadow or you can run and disarm a thug and take his gun yourself. I didnt find myself using the human shield quite so often though. I would never get that close to an enemy unless I had to. And normally if I was that close I would call the dog or use the bullet time feature. The hand to hand combat was alright. It wasnt anything special. I did like the way the game made it feel as though you were really hitting these guys hard when you punched or kicked them. Putting you up against 50 guys ready to jump you was fun. A great way to relieve stress. Except when you get beat up then that just angers you even more. There are a few escort missions in the game. But unlike other missions the person you are escorting can take care of themselves for the most part. They will rarely die unless you do not do anything whatsoever. But if you are fighting alongside them then they will not die. In the level when you escort the girl through the streets outside the strip masage parlor I let her go by herself for about half the level only to find her with 75% of her health somewhere way up the street surrounded by enemies. The boss battles were decent. Nothing special either. They werent as hard as I thought they would be. Like the first boss you can easily beat up. The bosses in the prison were easy as well if you know how to fight. As you progress it does get a little tougher. The hardest boss I thought were the assasins in the massage parlor. Other than that the bosses were fairly easy for me. All you have to do is know how to defeat them. Such as the man with the flame thrower on the rooftop. Just run and gun, his flamethrower doesnt have a very long range. I beat him in 2 tries. The clown van boss was easy as well. I found that the gatling gun doesnt do all that much damage to you. I beat it in 2 tries. The guy with those darts at the docks just kinda pissed me off more than anything else. I found all you have do with most bosses is get close enough and use bullet time. I killed Tattoo in about 30 seconds using this technique. The levels themselves are alot harder than the boss battles.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Dead to Rights was a waste of my time, especially for a third person shooter, this game is just like another "Max Payne". Its kinda cool how you can dive and all that, but the story line is just like any other story line, I mean come on! The women in that game run and walk like men! The worst 40 bucks ive spent! I give this game overall a 2/5.Sound The sound is average for a shooter game, you hear the gun shots and stuff I give the sound a 3/5.Gameplay The controls on this game are horrific! The story line is just like any other game. And one of your missions is to sneek into a club? When you get shot and it shows blood, it looks rediculous! I resent this game! I give the gameplay a 2/5.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Summary I bought Dead to Rights on its first release date along with Buffy and let me tell you this game is highly addictive and rocks!Dead to Rights on Xbox is only for the challenged hardcore suicidal gamers!No Soul Calibur or Tekken Namco style here, so beginners stay away from this game on Xbox! I heard though that they toned down the difficulty for Ps2 and gamecube versions extremely. I have beaten Max Payne and Dead to Rights game 3 times.I traded in Max Payne because Dead to Rights is 3 times better.Dead to Rights has continuos action,better storyline,canine assistance,mini-games,more females, and won't give you that "dizzy spell" boring motion sickness headache like Max Payne gave me in some areas of wandering around with nothing to shoot.This was because Max Payne is a PC port ,but Dead to Rights was made action heavy from the floor up for Xbox! This one is now in my hardcore Xbox game library sitting beside Tao Feng!!!Sound Nice.Appropriate in areas.The club has nice disco music.The gun wound shots are the best heard. I liked the character's dialogs too.Some give clues to beating the bosses and are very funny.For example, Jack says to the prison warden who smokes during their fighting "You're a big boy Pinnacle but you ain't got any wind!!" The last boss says to Jack,"How about sitting by the fire and let me tell you how I killed the late great Slate boys!!"Ha Ha!!!Gameplay Multiple real weapons with heavy action.It involves Kick and punch beat-em up style,Run and gun,multiple mini-games,matrix style bullet time,strip-tease,prison fights,club fights,airplane and helicopter fights,mafia fights, and female fatale fights.Dead to Rights has auto lock-on targeting for killing the closest bad guys, but sometimes is inaccurate but doesn't hinder the gameplay.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Dead to Rights has to be the worst game released on the xbox. There is nothing to like about this game. The sounds are awful and the graphics are no better than N64 graphics. I wouldnt even recommend this as a rental Stay far far away from this horrible excuse for a game.Sound The worst acting since Plan 9 From Outer Space. the first resident evil has better voice acting.Gameplay The gameplay is the worst thing about this crap biscuit. DTR tries so hard to be Max Payne but falls flat on its extremly ugly face. Dead to Rights might have been a decent Max Payne rip off if namco would have left out the god awful hand to hand combat. And whats with the stupid dog?Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary An insanely hard game that becomes repetitive far too early. A Slow moving camera and clunky auto targeting system prove very frustrating. Not nearly as good nor as fun as Max Payne. How can the company that did the great Soul Calibur game do a peice of crud like this?Sound Guns are alright. Music gets anoying and doesnt always tie in to what is happening on screen.Gameplay Move a few inches on screen, shoot many enemies that pop up ,die and start over. Repeat. Throw in a few button mashing mini games intermitantly.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.
