Dead to Rights for Xbox Videos >>
Summary Dead To Rights is a must have game for the Xbox.I love this game more than Max Payne because the difficully level in this game is very hard, And I like it. Max Payne was too easy, but Dead To Rights changed all that. This game is a must have for Xbox owners. Sound Bullets blasting everywhere, intense music, Dead To Rights has it all.Gameplay The gameplay in Dead To Rights is hella fun. You disarm people in insane moves, you sick your dog Shadow on the bad guy when you don't have any gun in your posession, you can fight fist to fist, and you have the bullet time.(Better than Max Payne's bullet time) The controls in Dead To Rights is very easy. The Features in Dead to Rights are similar to Syphon Filter. You have Lock-on,(Which is very helpful) And you can Aim Manualy.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Dead to Rights is a high power, action driven game. It has a fabulous presentation. The is the game that plays like a movie. Very impressive. Dead to Rights is definitely worth picking up, even if it doesn't rank at the top of XBOX games. As great as this game is, you will think of one or two things that might have made it better. A word of warning: This is NOT for small kids! The content and core of the game is really not appropriate for children.Sound Gotta love that 5.1 surround sound! The sound effects and score are great. At one point, Jack Slate broke a guy's neck and I could hear every crack from all sides.Gameplay The gameplay is strong. The "disarm" moves are varied and have a nice zoom in and slow motion effect. The weapons, "bullet time" effect, and fighting are great. You will become addicted to using some thug as a human shield! The camera angles sometimes make it difficult to see who is shooting at you. Also, the "lock on" trigger takes a little getting used to. However these don't ruin the game by any means.Would you like to Comment?

Voices are mainly center channel and effects are off to the sides and all around as they should be. If you have Dolby 5.1 you will notice that the developers actually spent some time with it unlike so many games.Gameplay I just got it in the mail today. Played for about 2+ hours.IMO Dead to Rights is a solid action game with enough variety to keep it interesting. The graphics are not as good as Max Payne (PC) but the game has a similar "John Woo/Chow Yun Fat" feeling to it. On the plus side, there are some cool moves your character can make. You can dive (and shoot) in slow-motion, hug walls (pop-out, shoot, pop-back), and duck for cover. When you run out of weapons (and you will) the game changes into an action fighting game. There are also a number of mini-games as well. None of these elements are best of breed but they all help to keep things interesting. The dog "Shadow" is also a nice addition to the gameplay but it does feel unfinished. You don't see the dog approach his victom and he dissapears off screen shortly after. I guess thats why his name is shadow. Trust me when I say it does not look quite right. I do not think this game is a "Classic" or a must-own. This game would make a good rent for a week ($5) or two. In that time you could play through 1/3 or 2/3 of the game and have a lot of fun. Personally, I take my time and I don't like rushing through a game so I tend to buy the games I think I will like. I usually rent for a week and If I am really impressed I will buy it. I pre-ordered DRT becuase I really like this kind of action game. I don't think I will regret spending the 50$. As I said I think there plenty of entertainment here. Since I have not played that long I will give the game a 80/100 First Impression score. Would you like to Comment?

It is fun, it is addicting, and most importantly it plays really well. It is inevitable that this game will get compared to Max Payne, as it should because they are very similar. However, I would have to say that this game's greatest accomplishment is being able to make the player feel like they are in a real live shootout, hollywood style of course, but realistic none the less. Max Payne didn't really do this. I don't remember having to duck and cover and actually develope a strategy while playing Max Payne. The sad thing is is that sometimes this is a bad thing, and that brings me to my next point: this game is freakin' hard. I mean "throw your controller through the TV" hard. That's why I cannot give it a five overall because this game is not for everyone, and understandably so. The difficulty level and the camera are, in my opinion, the only downsides to the game. However I should note that the parts that I found extremely difficlut I also found to be extemely fun (the stripclub shootout), so it didn't bother me that much when I died about 800 times in an hour. However the parts that are annoying and hard almost made me return the game, but thanfully I kept it and let me just say this: the game gets better as it progresses, a lot better.Sound Sound is standard, nothing special but absolutly nothing to complain about.Gameplay Gameplay is pretty deep. From everything to disarming an enemy to using them as a human shield and even the mini-games, it is all enjoyable but you may find them annoying and pointless, it's kind of hit or miss with the side games.Would you like to Comment?

Summary From the moment that I loaded this game I knew from the introduction that alot of effort was put into this title. This game is the most impressive game since Halo. If you just purchased an xbox and youve already purchased Halo and Fifa make sure you save money to buy this game next.Sound Excellent, captures the whole scenario and action packed.Gameplay For once, I think they finally fixed the slow down gitch in this game as it has to be the smoothest and most fun game to play. Plays like Max Payne but much more accurate and the controls are spot on and easy to master as the game takes you through a practice drill when you start it introducing you to the controls.Would you like to Comment?

You can hear every little crack when you break someone in half. The gun sounds are convincingGameplay This game involves sneaking around and max paine style game play with the bullet time feature allowing you to slow down time and shoot your enemies. This is a very violent game. I would recomend it to anyone that likes action games.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary It is hard to imagine that Namco is expanding out and trying to create all different types of video games and now they are close but not dead on with their atempt at a third-person shooter. In Dead to Rights you play as a cop named Jack Slate, a cop who is looking to get even after his father is murdered. This creates the "lets go out and kill as many baddies as we can since one of them is responcible for killing my father.Sound The sound is pretty good. Nothing special, the voice acting I found to be pretty good and movie like. There is this one part in the beginning of the game where someone gets their neck cracked and I must tell you that from then on I have not been able to move my neck and the sound still sends chills down my spine. As for the sounds of the guns..how many times can you hear the shots go off before you go insane. The sound effects are great though, don't get me wrong.Gameplay The gameplay runs smoothly as you travel around the streets looking for a target to light up indecating that it must be a bad guy. This one aspect of the game makes it easier to play but it can also get a little fustrating. One time I had a target set on a Bad guy(Gac Unit)and was then aproached by another bad guy no more then what looked to be five feet away from my face but yet the target system didn't pick him up and continued to target the bad guy who was more then what look to be eighty feet away. Before I have the chance to switch targets I find myself dead. But on the brighter side disarming baddies and using a bunch of disarming combos and the ability to use a bad guy as a human shield then pop him in the head, provides a lot of fun for the gamer. Shadow..you may know who this is but if not I don't want to spoil it for anyone is a great addition to this game. Plus the storyline is a lot better then the one found in Max Payne..and no this game can not be compaired to Dead to Rights so stop tring, it would be like saying that the new superman game coming out is just like spiderman..No I don't think so. O yes, and I almost forgot to tell you about the mini-games. I don't want to give it away but I will tell you that the games are fun. Hint (Think of britney's dance game turned into, to best describe it the title of the most recent vin D. movie. and for one of the other games think of bomber man)O yeah and it is good of them to finally add a map for people like me who won't know they were going the wrong way till I finally see something that may look more then familiar.Would you like to Comment?
