Dead to Rights
About the Game
Dead to Rights is a 3rd-person shooter in which the player is Jack Slate, a police officer in Grant City. On a routine call, he finds the dead body of his father. While trying to find the murderer, he is framed for another murder. Jack becomes a fugitive; his run from the law will take him to various places, from strip joints and hotels to office complexes, and even prison, as an inmate.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Initially, only a few disarm moves are available, but more can be unlocked as the game progresses. Players will sometimes have to control Jack's best friend and partner, his K-9 dog Shadow, which allows enemies to be killed from a distance. Another notable element is "adrenaline combat", similar to "Bullet Time" from Max Payne . Jack will then perform slow-motion dives and spins, giving him an advantage, as long as his adrenaline meter holds out.
Standout Features
- If Jack does not have a gun drawn, he can disarm an enemy which causes him to steal the enemy's gun, then performing some sort of finish, such as a neck breaker.
