    I picked this up on an ebay bargain expecting very ltitle, as reviews have largely panned it, but was pleasantly surprised. Hands down one of the most enjoyable portable gaming experiences I've had, and much more fun I think than the original Dead to Rights. Well worth getting for your PSP if you like run-and-dun style hong kong cinema gaming.

    This is a GOOD game. I don't know why it has gotten such bad review scores. It is easy to pick up and play and fun, in a ligth arcade-kind of way. and the controls are good. You just have to use the target lock-on, that's it. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Compared to dead to right for ps2 its about the same i like shoting games and this is the best 1 so far for psp. GTA is 1 that i cant wait for. overall Dead to Rights Reckoning is a very fun and good game for anyone that likes shooting games.

    really good, but much too short, a little repetitive and the guns are about the same throughout. a few new guns are cool when u get them,like the AK 47 and the heavy machine gun. this game when too fast for me though. there's about 10 missions that take about 5 to 10 minutes each(some are even less). but its still a fun pick up and play and i would recommend trying it

    My all time favorite PSP game. As a big fan of the Hong Kong action cinema, I love the spectacular martial arts disarms, executions and the bullet time shooting. Sure it has some bugs, but so does every game. There's a pretty nice variety of firearms in your arsenal and your dog, Shadow, is also a good "weapon". There is also multiplayer and there are challenge modes as well to keep youMy all time favorite PSP game.

There is also multiplayer and there are challenge modes as well to keep you attached longer to the game. I recommend it to everybody who likes a good and fun third person shooter, similar to gaming classics like Max Payne or Stranglehold.… Expand

    The game is just great! This is a great action game, good graphics for a portable console. Here are cool locations. Passed in one day, and I do not regret the time spent. There are many in this game, to get as many weapons as possible. And most importantly, the plot. Here is just a great story!

    The game is just great! This is a great action game, good graphics for a portable console. Here are cool locations. Passed in one day, and I do not regret the time spent. There are many in this game, to get as many weapons as possible. And most importantly, the plot. Here is just a great story! The ending will at least surprise you.Yes, although here you just need to kill different opponents, but you can use a different battle style. You can use weapons. You can punch (it is very difficult). You can kill opponents with a slow time. You can set your dog on the enemy. You can take a weapon from a somersault and kill the enemy. The game is very much like Max Payne, and it's cool! The game is cool, you can immediately see that they tried on this game. You will not regret!

    Игра просто отличная! Здесь отличная боевка, хорошая графика для портативной приставки. Здесь классные локации. Прошел за один день, и не жалею о потраченном времени. В этой игре много, афигеть как много оружии. И самое главное, сюжет. Здесь просто отличный сюжет! Концовка вас как минимум удивит. Да, хоть здесь и нужно просто убивать разных противников, но зато вы можете использовать разный стиль боя. Вы можете использовать оружие. Можете бить кулаками ( это очень сложно ). Вы можете убивать противников с замедленным временем. Вы можете натравить свою собаку на противника. Вы можете с кувырка взять оружие, и убить противника. Игра очень сильно похожа на Max Payne, и это круто! Игра классная, сразу видно, что старались над этой игрой. Вы не пожалеете!    … Expand

    Max Payne'e oldukça benziyor. Tek farkı bu oyunda max payne gibi tek başımıza çatışmıyoruz, bu oyunda her zaman bizi koruyup kollayan bir köpeğimiz var. Eğlenceli ve güzel bir oyun, tavsiye ederim.

    While there's something to be said for a game that cuts to the chase and focuses merely on your ability to lock onto targets and mash the fire button to blast them in the face, Reckoning has shoddy control and some ugly graphical glitches. Its handful of problems really get in the way and make this PSP game short, uninteresting, and not much fun at all.

    I think it's possible to have a success shooter on PSP. But if fundamental elements like a functional camera and control systems aren't there, the game just won't work.

    Despite its relative good looks, Dead to Rights: Reckoning is more an exercise in frustration than an enjoyable diversion. Not even the four player WiFi deathmatch mode is enough to save this one from the bowels of the budget bargain bin.
