| A gamer from Chicago says (7/Dec/2002): |
This game is great.. From sound too graphics... For you people out there crying that its too hard... boohoo play super mario bros on NES, you only have 2 buttons to worry about... But for you games that dont panic and just press buttons under tense situations this is the game for you.. You have to press different buttons to preform different moves for different situations... Buy it rent it doesnt matter just play it

this sucks |
| A gamer from lexington kentucky united states of america says (5/Dec/2002): |
the game was ok until u get a little ways into it and it sucks ass cause u cant get passed $#< remove me > at ! and they make it impossible to beat. The graphics where ok but they did try to imatate max payne, not a bad idea but a least they could have made it better than max payne, the only thing better about this game from max payne is the controls the graphics,sound,and quality of the game are the same.

A GTA..with no Bull |
| A gamer says (4/Dec/2002): |
you can't really compare the magnatude of this game to GTA But it is the closest thing to GTA that America has come out with. Like everyone before me..This game is for the people who will put weeks n mayb months into this game and can still play highschool basketball.. i look for gameplay and fun factor..i love hard games..cause i know that i can beat the game if i just work at it..most hard games like Max payne i can beat in 2 dayz..cause of my busy scedule... But D2R is a game where u need to be a Serious Gamer...haters only need to go get max payne and play that over n over...trying to snipe that stupid cable..over n over..while the serious ones beat d2r in less than a month..mayb even longer..Oringinality is good lifespan will only last till u beat the game ..do the same thing wit max payne..beat it and take it back..n get another game.. but this game..is the best since gta...even to ppl might not think it

This games okay, but whats with the helicopters!!! |
| Euphan from Seattle says (4/Dec/2002): |
I played Dead to Rights, and right now im on the 11th level, 5 or 6 real hours logged onto the game itself. I thought some of the levels were pretty interesting, like the killer clowns in the graveyard, but almost every boss in the game seems to be a black helicopter that never runs out of ammo, and can never miss you with its stupid mini guns. And for some reason, they killed off his chick side kick at the beginning of the game, i thought you would be able to control her like you did Jack, but, whatevere, I would recomend waiting until it cost 25 bucks, then get it.

fun if you're good at video games, but don't buy it |
| A gamer says (1/Dec/2002): |
DTR is a great game, but only if you are good at video games and have very quick reactions and good coordination. It has good gameplay, had pretty realistic effects, and I especially like the disarms. The problems in DTR are the mediocre graphics, the lack of sounds that are unique to the different guns, and the length. I beat DTR at the end of the first day I rented it, which was very disappointing, but overall DTR is fun, but not worth buying.
|
*Sigh* This is suck. |
| Rocket X from Forest, MS, USA says (30/Nov/2002): |
This game is only for hardcore gamers, I mean it. If you don't have quick reflexes or a sugar rush, don't buy this game, except when you make the hot dancing girl spread her legs and bend over, this game isn't all that fun. The "Matrix-thingy" move you do to shoot lots of people at one time is the best gaming feature there is on the entire game. It might be to hard for some of you softies out there, so just stick with my word and rent it. DON'T BUY IT. I beat it while renting it. It took awhile(two weeks), but I beat it. Save yourself some money, and try Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance instead.

2nd best |
| Spike_Bladefist from oshawa, canada says (28/Nov/2002): |
ok i typed all this and my comp crashed.. rip off.. anyways blah blah blah quit complainin its an awsome game.. rented it couldnt beat it so bought it.. beat max payne in 4 hours or less while im on my 3rd week of DTR. mini-games r stupid but fun and easy. for hardcore gamerz only.. not u wussies who r complainin its too hard for ya'z go back to ur little Pikmin games for GC. btw best game is halo (specially online) thats the jist of what i wrote the first time.

Rent it first. |
| greg from Pennsylvania, US says (23/Nov/2002): |
You will lose your patience playing this game. If you dont have hours to spend at each level buy something else. I am a law student and I dont have the time to sit for hours trying to solve the early levels...I can only imagine how long it will take later on when I finally do get past the fourth level. The camera angles will screw you in close fights.

A good game |
| RICBRNR from Youngstown, Ohio says (11/Nov/2002): |
Dead to rights is a sweet game. When I just got it, before even playing it I thought the hole dog thing was going to be a little hokey. Then after playing for a few minutes I realized how much I came to love and enjoy shadow's company. After the first couple levels I came across many, and I mean many snags in the game. Hard parts became easy as harder parts arrived during game play. The mini games were a nice addition to the game because you took a break from the usual sharrade of just shooting the crap out of everything in sight and you became more involved with the task at hand. Currently I am stuck on Fahook(is that his name?). Now I feel like a pie cause I do not even remember the bad guy I am trying to beat up. Its the guy on chapter 14, I am fighting him on the tail end of the plane. I know I have to fight him till his health level goes down then I have to shoot the bottle. And I am also aware you have to do this a few times to eventually break the bottle and ultimately finish him off at the end. Boy is this tough though. I have been stuck on this part for over a week now, but ya know what? Thats what a video game is all about. Remember original nintendo? Not 64, not super nintendo. I am talking the old-school 8-bit nintendo. How many of you beat any of the mario brothers in one week?? NONE OF YOU, thats how many. So why don't you all put your big boy/ big girl pants on and play the game how it should be. Codes are for people who like to cheat, and easy games are the games I feel like I wasted my money on cause then I have a game that I can beat easily, what fun is that? If you enjoy easy games, just go beat-up on your little brother or sister. You do not need a video game to easily beat something.

Not very good |
| A gamer from Ontario, Canada says (2/Nov/2002): |
The graphics are OK, and the sound is bad. If you die it could become repetative. Over and Over the same thing. There are a decent number of guns, however no specalty items. ex. No gurnades, useable bombs or outstanding guns. The camera andgle are the worst ever. And enemies come from out of nowhere.

Balls To The Wall |
| dragan from michigan, usa says (18/Oct/2002): |
I knew from the get-go that this game was going to be the sh*t! I absolutely love the mini games because it was the first games that I played that involved those little tasks. This is an all-around great game and I would advise anybody to buy it. Great graphics, cool guns, and the gore is the sh*t!

John Woo Meets the Kobayashi Maru |
| TrueGrit from Frankfurt Germany says (15/Oct/2002): |
How could they miss? John Woo shootouts, bullet time, human shields, a K9 companion that looks like it pisses gas, and a stripper to boot. Sadly, I don't think I've been this misled since someone spent a hundred million plus on state of the art graphics to somehow still dork up a Godzilla movie. How'd Namco screw up this sure-fire winner? Three ways: a) cornhole mini-games that break the pacing on the game and turn it into button-mashing agita b) sad, sad camera angles that you can count on screwing you when your health is about to fade, and c) proceeding levels of maddening kobayashi maru type shoot-outs. How I wish James Tiberius himself could have lectured Namco when this was still in front of a focus group, though, I suppose they know by now they porked a possible cult classic. For the non-cheat puritans out there, I respect the 400 times you're going to reset a scene to demonstrate your prowess. For the rest of us xbox mortals that pretend to have a life and don't mind shortcuts to zenful woo-ness may I humbly suggest spending the $50 on a stack of john woo films. You'll feel better.

Good Game - not for cheaters - takes skill to finish. |
| Joe from Chicago, Illinois, USA says (11/Oct/2002): |
This is a high quality game that's fun to play. It increases your game playing skills as the various missions are not all third person shooters. If you can solve DTR, you can solve any video game. The controls are good (not as difficult as most people whine about), graphics are above average, sound is excellent, and gameplay is very entertaining. Camera angles can be difficult but your able to move the camera with the pad. 9 out of 10 - not for weaklings. A real gamers challenge.

Jeez. |
| ???? from The Place, Yeah says (10/Oct/2002): |
This game is pure $#< remove me > at !. It tries to be Max Payne but it isn't. There are no bullet-time effects except for slow motion witch can be achieved with any game. This takes place in the US but unlike Max Payne, this was created by Japanese people, so you'll find yourself doing stupid "time your thumbs just right" activities, kung-fu combos, and absurd targeting systems. This game is 3rd person, but instead of having a standard behind-view, it has a crappy camera that flies wherever it feels like going, thus making enemies kill you with ease. And if there is a door, DON'T TURN YOUR BACK TO IT, an enemy will appear out of nowhere if you do. The graphics are pure crap, Dead to Rights like a high-res N64 game. The motuhs don't move with speech. The sound effects are bad, all shotguns sound the same, all pistols sound the same, all machine-weapons sound the same. The only thing different about weapons are the models and the damage. And if you look closely at the weapons, they have no barrels! And there are max payne liknesses. EXAMPLES: a guard shouts "Jesus, it is slate!" in max payne, a criminal shouts "Dammit! It's Payne!" I DO NOT WANT YOU TO BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU DO YOU ARE AN IDIOT, SO GO TO HELL!

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO |
| Airbear from Slow-time, Shotgun says (9/Oct/2002): |
This game is awesome!!! I like the shooting, fighting and breaking the enemies arm to take their weapon. Its also fun using slow-time with a shotgun KABOOM! This game has great diversity, its much better (and less disturbing) than Max Payne, and it basically kicks all others down. Possibly the funnest single player ever!
|
So and So goes the way of Dead to Rights |
| Match from Sacramento, California says (26/Sep/2002): |
I work at a very well to do electronics store that shall remain nameless and well, when I first saw this game come into the loading bay I was quite estatic. I immediately purchased it and brought it home only to be astounded even more in my hyper-tensive state by the intro. But alas, I was in for quite a disapointment.
While the game holds a lot of promise in its story (ala Max Payne'ish if you will) it lacks terribly in its gameplay. I found it easier to just straff and duck. Snipe from a distance and then run up. There is no "bullet dodging" special manuevers that a lot of action heroes seem to perform. Nope, none at all. Just the run to the side and hope their aim is a little off.
As for the cheat codes, what fun is it to play the game over again if all you can really do is just play all of the levels that you really didn't find that imaginative in the first place? I feel that Namco could have had a wonderfully excellent game if: They had simply had the Yakuza style gun fights. You know the ones.
Where the hero wields akimbo pistols while rushing down an alley to meet his opponent. All the while the villian is firing madly away at our hero to no avail due to the fact that our hero can duck, slide, jump, summersault, and hurtle to cover the distance without relatively getting a scratch in the process. I guess I expected too much. But if they had taken a lesson from Zone of Enders (PS2 - Highly Recomended even for a short game) with the fighting style it would have been truely awesome.
As it stands now, if I had the choice to buy it or not, I would have gone with Amped.

quit whining! |
| A gamer from Colorado, USA says (24/Sep/2002): |
This game was great. Improved on Max Payne in tons of ways...the mini games were a blast, who doesn't like 20 different types of games in one?!? As far as the camera angles, I'll admit it, they could use a litte work and sometimes it was extremely difficult to tell exactly what was going on and where you were being shot at from but for all of the guys who posted reviews saying that the game was too hard and you think it would be fun if there were more cheat codes, you guys are a disgrace to gamers everywhere. No true gamer wants to even put a cheat code in until he has conquered the whole game fairly. Granted the gameplay wasn't anywhere near the level of Halo or GTA3 it's still a blast to play, especially when you get to take hostages and then put a bullet in their head once you are finished using them as shields. That was quite possibly one of the coolest features I've ever seen in a game. For those of you who thought it was too hard...just keep tryin, once you get good enough it's a blast.

Very good game for the people who know how a action game is suppose to be!!! |
| Chandler from USA says (23/Sep/2002): |
This game is great.... Max Payne was a very good game but I think I like this one a little better... I read other reviews saying that the controls were difficult and hard to get use to, Those people must be VERY SLOW... basically they are saying that the game is too hard and advanced for them.. so they should dtay away... This game is for true game players... That is why DTR gets a 9 out of 10... no game will ever get a ten.......

Bad Namco! Bad! |
| Ryan Bennett from San Leandro, CA says (21/Sep/2002): |
Mediocre at best. It sure is no Max Payne, although with a little more refinement it could have been tops. Neat features, acceptable graphics, and good sound execution went to waste on a semi-playable MP meets Time Crisis scenario. Ah, what potential. Alas, terrible camera positioning makes it nearly impossible to know what the hell is happening - RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU in many cases. This shortcoming nearly made me chuck the game out the window. The little "skill games" are tedious, and often one wrong move can mean that you have to tackle an extrordinaryily tough level all over again (yes, I know that's the point, but you go play it and tell me you didn't wish for a save anywhere feature). And how hard could it have been to include a difficulty setting? It would also be nice to be able to customize the controls just a little. Is it just me, or is the camera rotation control just plain 180 degrees WRONG? I have to say that I really overhyped this game in my mind, so I was bound to be disappointed, but there is no question that it could have been so much better. RENT FIRST!
