    Dead To Rights Retribution is a great 3rd person action game

    Gameplay is broken into 3 types of sections:shooting,brawling,and stealth.Shooting sections are your fairly simple cover-shooting mechanics but the gunplay is somewhat satisfying,even if there are only about 6 weapons in the game.My favourite part of the game is the brawling.The combat system is surprisingly deep.You have low and high punches,guard breaks,clinching,disarms and a bunch of brutal takedowns.The sheer brutality of the combat system suits the atmosphere perfectly.The stealth sections let you play as a dog named Shadow.These will nearly always consist of getting a keycard for Jack to go through a door.The AI in these sections is quite poor,making them quite easy.

    The graphics are ugly,but the framerate remains solid throughout.

    The story here is very much filled with b-movie cheese,not the worst I've ever seen though.

    The sound design is solid,but the soundtrack is mediocre.

    Overall,Dead To Rights Retribution shows that graphics don't mean everything.Great game,highly recommended.    … Expand

    A very good action game) the closest analogue of Max Payne, but with more dynamics and hand-to-hand combat) and the plot is good, and the graphics are good for me, the mechanics are interesting, especially if you use them correctly (weapons here have few cartridges, which is why you have to use your fists, and spend wisely bullets) there are no more such games and there won't be any more..A very good action game) the closest analogue of Max Payne, but with more dynamics and hand-to-hand combat) and the plot is good, and the graphics are good for me, the mechanics are interesting, especially if you use them correctly (weapons here have few cartridges, which is why you have to use your fists, and spend wisely bullets) there are no more such games and there won't be any more.. it's a pity that people didn't like it...… Expand

    It's simple, enjoyable, and in wisely steering clear of trying anything grand or complex, is an enjoyable if self-contained success. [May 2010, p.97]

    Possibly the world's least anticipated sequel, but a surprisingly enjoyable brain dead romp all the same.

    A far bigger problem is simply the fact that the game gets boring all too quickly.
