Dead to Rights

"The Xbox action romp cartwheels over to the PS2, but it looks like it hasn’t aged much. A variable difficulty setting is a nice touch, but it’s also the *only* touch in this nearly identical port."

"We've seen a few stills of the game, and the art direction seems to be right on. Granite City is a dank, gritty place--perfectly suited for the type of hard-boiled feel Namco is hoping to achieve."

"If you've ever wondered what it might feel like to be the lone action hero up against a ridiculous number of enemies, this game is about as close as you'll get."

"Dead to Rights is heavily informed by the visual and stylistic language of Hong Kong action films... Dead to Rights has several important systems built into it which help to ensure that the onscreen action unfolds smoothly and dramatically... Dead to Rights is looking like it'll be a pleasantly jarring hybrid of harsh and liberating gameplay elements, and unprecedented visual dynamism."

"The game's plot sounds like an outline for John Woo's next film, and that's no coincidence, since Namco's producers hired screenwriter Flint Dille (G.I. Joe, Transformers) to compose the action-packed saga."
