Description
Jack Slate, an incorruptible cop hunting his father's killer, finds himself drawn into a criminal conspiracy beyond his control. Published by Namco, released in 2002 in the United States and Europe. Features around fifteen levels with Max Payne-style gunplay, a trained combat dog companion, a bullet-time mode, and varied vehicle sequences.
An action game from Namco, Dead to Rights follows cop Jack Slate and his dog Shadow on a spectacular urban revenge, blending bullet time shootouts, melee, disarms and varied sequences. The 2000s action film spirit, the John Woo style slow motion shooting and the diversity of situations deliver a snappy blast. The repetitiveness, a fickle camera and an uneven difficulty weigh. An action game to recommend for fans of beefy crime stories and stylised shootouts at B movie level.
