This is possibly the most versatile gunslinger in video games. [Jan 2003, p.91]
-
This game either pushes the boundaries of it's genre further than ever before on this system, or creates a completely new gaming experience. Either way, it should not be missed.
-
90Variety. This game is about variety to the Nth degree. You can fight a hundred different ways and still never be wrong.
-
81Short, explosive, and a roller coaster ride chalk full of violence, Namco's stab at cop vengeance is a great time while it lasts.
-
80It all goes by a little too quickly, but you'll have fun while it lasts. [Holiday 2002, p.46]
-
80It's nonstop action with some of the most unique combat moves ever found in a video game.
-
Completely playable and enjoyable - and exactly what I was hoping the Xbox version would have been.

A year ago I would have been hard pressed to recommend Dead to Rights. But now that’s it’s part of the budget-priced “Greatest Hits” line I say that it’s worth checking out as long as you’re not expecting state-of–the-art gameplay or graphics.
-
76The default difficulty of has been greatly toned down [from the Xbox version], making Dead to Rights a whole lot more accessible and slightly less nerve-wracking, though no less action-packed.
-
76I finished the game in about seven hours and I’d expect anyone else to be able to do about the same.
-
Many key flaws in the gameplay remain, despite some incredibly stylish and cool mechanics.
-
70Short, flawed, repetitive and derivative (“May Payne” anyone?).
-
Clearing each squad of dim-witted goons is rarely an intellectual challenge but always entertaining as an ultraviolent display of beauty and precision -- it's like a John Woo movie without the doves and opera music. [Feb 2003, p.135]
-
70When Dead to Rights is good, it’s damn good…pity that parts of it are such buzzkills.
-
There are some great touches, like how you can throw a gas canister over a crowd, shoot it and let hot fuel rain over the heads of multiple enemies, but they’re simply not held together.
-
67If you’re looking for a challenge, Super Cop difficulty approaches the Xbox level, and the truly masochistic can always use the Hard-Boiled cheat as suggested by Namco.
-
60Despite a number of difficult to spot and ultimately underwhelming "improvements", the Cube and PS2 versions of Dead to Rights remain generally engaging, with an uneven sprinkling of genius.
-
The game looks surprisingly dated. [Feb 2003, p.99]
-
Too Damn Repetitive. But at least you get to kill bad guys, and lots of 'em.
-
Dead to Rights is no "Max Payne." It tries to be when it's not being a mediocre melange of mini-games or a reheated crime story, but for the most part it's just generic. [Jan 2003, p.79]
