Dead to Rights

Background

Dead to Rights is a richly styled third-person action shooter -- think film noir meets Hong Kong action flick meets Syphon Filter. You are thrust into the role of Jack Slate, a tough-as-nails ex-cop who is sent to prison for a murder he didn't commit. Slate, a trained killer and born fighter, soon busts out of his cage and sets out to bring down those who framed him. You control him on his quest for revenge, punctuated by gripping action sequences which would look at home in a John Woo film.

Gameplay

Jack Slate, an innocent cop sentenced to death, makes a daring escape from the Iron Point Maximum-Security Penetentiary. Driven to bring the criminal element that framed him to justice, Slate hunts the hunters in this gritty, crime-noir inspired epic. With super-charged game play, jaw-dropping graphics and hard-boiled storytelling, Dead to Rights raises the bar on the crime action-thriller genre.
