Dead to Rights is a
third-person shooter produced by Namco. It was released on August 19,
2002 as a timed exclusive for the Xbox, and releases for the
PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube followed thereafter. A year after
its console debut, the game was ported to Microsoft Windows. Dead to
Rights makes use of bullet time, a popular gameplay contrivance of the
time due to the influence of The Matrix films. More generally, the game
advertises itself as drawing inspiration from Hong Kong action cinema,
i.e. gun fu. The player is sometimes accompanied by a canine partner
who can attack enemies on command. In some puzzle sections, the player
actually takes direct control of the canine to reach areas that the
human character cannot. Jack
Slate is a police officer partnered with his K-9 unit, Shadow. The two
patrol Grant City, a metropolis seemingly populated with more
criminals than honest citizens. One night while on a routine patrol,
Jack responds to a call at a construction zone, only to find his own
father murdered. In pursuit of his father's killer, Jack is led through
a labyrinth of crime and corruption. He is eventually framed for
another murder by the corrupt police chief Hennesey, in a bid to stop
Jack before he undermines the status quo. However, Jack escapes from
imprisonment and hunts down Hennesey, clearing away the city's
crimelords in the process.
