This game kicks major butt |
| John s. from Seattle, Washington says (31/Aug/2002): |
I thought max Payne was good when i dragged my lazy bum out of the bed and to EB. I played it for 4 hours and beat it. It was too easy, but had good concepts. Dead to rights is 3x better than Max Payne. It has bullet time, sweet blood and profanity, hoes. I only bad thing was often too many enemies at once. Wait, thats the coolest part!!! Blasting clowns with submachine guns, grabbing the enemy and making him take the 50 bullets aimed for you feels great. Buy it now

Enjoyable...MOST of the time... |
| Brandon from Minneapolis, MN says (29/Aug/2002): |
I went home to play this game after buying it, and it started out great. The trailer pumped me up, the first level got the story going and everything. Hoever, come the third level, I got VERY frustrated. Dying several times in the game is unavoidable, and I spent an hour or so on the same damn spot on that level; it takes forever to learn the ropes, especially with hand-to-hand fighting (during which you will have several people throwing punches at you at once, from all directions-you WILL die many times here). Once you get the hang of things, the game is more enjoyable, but the bossess only dissapoint you again. Hell, in the Black Orchid, you must defeat a boss who is ALWAYS surrounded by at least three other thugs. No matter how many you take out, more come in. After spending ten minutes running around and throwing the occasional punch in, I finally got him down. Right after that, however, FOUR bosses all come in at once, armed with assault rifles, and they're ALL shooting at YOU. You are armed with a .45. I've been stuck there for three days, and keep thinking about cheating just to skip it. The game isn't without its fun, but must be played in installments, or frustration is guarenteed. Still, the storyline is good, a little better than Max Payne's (the two are, essentially, the same game),

maybe if i was blind and deaf |
| no life from eastbumphuq, USA says (29/Aug/2002): |
this game was one of the biggest letdowns i have ever experienced. once you figure out that there are only two types of AI, the ones that rush you and the ones that stay back and shoot and run if you get close, then this game becomes more a game of careful placement of you character as opposed to a game which required any degree of skill to complete. and on top of that, to make up for the obviously lazy coding towards that AI, they used a random character generator to make troves of guys show up in places where you are either just supposed to get out, or destroy a key character/object. to me, this was just a fifty dollar beer coaster, angst for nothin' namco.

Max Payne would get stomped by dead to rights in a battle. |
| Daryl from Murfreesboro, TN, USA says (29/Aug/2002): |
WOW!!! Now, this game is far better than Max Payne, however, would not have been possible had Max Payne not been created. This game adds brutal death to what lacked in Max Payne. Killin' folks, human shields, killing, and you even have a dog that kicks a$$ for you and is kind enough to bring you the gun off the now dead body. If you want a game you can run through and kill everyone and beat it, this ain't the game. Patience is great. There are many areas that require you to just shoot your way through, make sure you have ammo, armor, and plenty of "bullet time" The only downfall I can see is the camera angles. There are a few areas where you wish the camera was a little further away so you could see more than your back. This game ranks up there with Halo for me. Halo is a 10, Halo 2 looks to be like a 20!

Dead To Rights : A Max Payne Clone that leaves you wanting more...kind of... |
| Joe King from Indianapolis, IN USA says (26/Aug/2002): |
It is unfair to classify this game as simply a "Max Payne Clone." The gameplay is very straightforward and quite easy to master. There are also many innovative features that are unique and are very well executed in this genre of action game. The use of Shadow (the dog) adds some excitement and sometimes can be a lifesaver (especially if you are low on life or out of ammo!!). Graphically, DTR leaves something to be desired. Many levels become visually repetitive and seem hastily assembled. Lighting effects and shadowing could have added some spice to the level design, but the lack of such additions make the graphics seem flat.
The sound effects make up for what the graphics lack. The use of Dolby Digital Surround really draw the gamer into the game. Enemy chatter, gunshots, shells dropping, and the voice acting are very well done. The SFX and music create an atmosphere that set the tone for the level and add to the drama of the story.
Overall, I think Dead To Rights is a great game for fans of the Action/Shooter genre. The timing of its release in a summer of poor gaming choices make this a sure buy. If you are just looking for a good game to keep you happy until something great comes out, get this game!

It was ok |
| Casey from Bay City,MI says (26/Aug/2002): |
This game had its problems like hand to hand fighting, it was to hard.And who cares about a hooker its a game a few thousand polygons put a half nude woman together big deal. I already beat it and it was a pain in the ass. Toooo hard at the end it took me 4 hours just to beat the last level (chp. 15) it was a cool game but not like a john woo film. i mean in max payne you could dodge bullets alot more but in this you get hit way to many times. Anyway I still liked it.

man o man this a good game |
| matriarch of xbox says (25/Aug/2002): |
this game is great! i played it for hours until i thought my controller was gonna break! graphics are great stroyline is okay plenty of disarms to keep the everwanting player happy though i did think that u coulndnt find out how to do the disarms but had to unlock them was little bit stupid but the human sheild part was excellent:) overall i thought the dog was cool. I found it funny with the weightlifting though i did like the lockpick minigames bomb disarms ok but hell this game is cool lots of turns and twists (and i dont mean the sounds from the massage parlor:) that will keep u on the edge of ur seat.

Only for Hard-Core Gamers |
| echo127 from Houston, Texas USA says (25/Aug/2002): |
Well this game is kinda like Max Pain, MGS, and The Bouncer all combined into one. I like the fact that the guy is a K-9 officer and can use his dog during the battles. The one downside is that this game only has one difficulty setting: HARD AS FREAKIN HELL! I dunno what those other guys where sayin about the graphics cuz i think they are was better then Max P's graphics. but dont expect to have this game beaten in a week like Max P. And you gotta love the Dance Dance Revolution, Stripper style mini game. I think this is a first rent, then buy game.

A Bullet Joy Fest |
| TJ Garcia aka Lord T6 from Dallas, TX says (25/Aug/2002): |
I been playing Dead to Rights for the past for days non-stop. I love the Max Payne type game play it has into it; but, the graphics could be better. I'm sure if there is a DTR 2 they will go all out and buff up on the details. The game play is great but for the few times the camra angel does seem to make a mess of things. The sounds on DTR are very realistic and makes it seem like you are really being shot at from all around. The score is very nice and puts the right mood into the game. If you haven't got Dead to Rights I highly recommand you do so; it is one game you do not want to miss out on for XBOX, so go out and get your little fithy hands on it! What can be better then going around shooting bad guys, seeing a striper dance, and bullet-time? Need I say more?

Dead to Rights is Right |
| Chris from Ashland, MA says (24/Aug/2002): |
I got this game the day it came out, and I was very pleased with it. It is awesome, I think better than Max Payne on a few levels. One thing that is cool is the diversity, with the minigames, but they can get really aggrivating and hard. Its a good fun game with lots of cool moves you can do, but its hard. If your expecting easy play, dont buy it, this game is for the hardcore gamers who like a challenge and to be in control of everything.

This game is hot but it is no Max Payne!!! |
| Phat from Atlanta, Ga, USA says (24/Aug/2002): |
I went out and rented the game before i decided to buy it because i have went out and bought games that didn't live up to the expectations. Well this game is hot. Max Payne had a better plot but the two games are similar plot wise. I like the human shield and the disarm moves are hott. This game is worth buying. If you liked Max Payne then you should enjoy this game. The graphics are good and the movies in between chapters look way better than Max Payne. Buy this game, its hot. Phat Da Young God. Holla

This game could have been a winner |
| overspray from Toledo, Ohio,USA says (23/Aug/2002): |
The concept was good, graphics were poor, ther was no real basis behind this game except shoot shoot shoot, the game was ok, ther could have been more adventure behind it... at least in Max Payne ther was mor srat involved in it...oh well that is my opinion..hell I thought the grapics in POW was bad too..that was a let down too as well..on to Buffy now

dead to rights review |
| D-dub from lima, ohio says (23/Aug/2002): |
pretty much, in this game has its good and bad times, the game has very good, blood effects, they being able to hold somebody as a body shield is a great thing for the game. it has ok graphics, not the best and not the worst. The game is worth a few rents from the video store, but not a buyer, but i say you should find out yourself, rent it. If you like it buy it what else can i say except for the Freakin Controls, your in charge of camera angleing and the shooter.

Blows max payne away |
| joey catz from cherryhill, nj, usa says (21/Aug/2002): |
Today is the first day that dead to rights came out and i woke up real early to get it and i am soo glad i did. this gae takes everything i loved about max payne and turns it up a notch, you only have to play the game for 2 minutes before u even see a hooker!!! the reason im only giving it a 9 is because i dont think that u can jump in the game unless its in bullet time. this game so far has been alot more challenging then max payne also. So far this is the best game out for a 3rd person shooter!!!!
|
dead to rights is a pretty good game |
| jeremy .l from calabassas california usa says (21/Aug/2002): |
it is filled with action and blood but the one mistake in the game was the graphics they are not very good at all but the game pretty much takes place for the graphics, there are many other good parts in this game but i would not want to spoil it for u, so go buy it and have a blast
