  • Summary: Meet Jack Slate, a cop framed for murder and facing execution. Slate escapes from Iron Point Maximum-Security Penitentiary to bring down the criminals that framed. In Dead to Rights, you play the role of Slate, as he fights through the hard streets and corrupt enemies of Grant City.

    The body count is rivaled only by novel game-play features and production values that make blood spurts akin to snowflakes-no two are the same.

    Beyond the disarms and shot dodging, it's not worth much more than a rental.
  3. Xbox Nation Magazine

    Uneven graphics, hollow gameplay contrivances, and a wholesale lack of compelling drama mar the enormous effort which was clearly put into the game. [Fall 2002, p.104]

    Bought this game based on the Maxim review in its mag. I'll never take their reviews at face value again.

Not worth the time for me, I just stopped playing it after a while.… Expand
