The clichés of uninspired third-person shooter games are all here: civilian escort missions, bridge levers, heavies with rocket launchers, etc. You’ll spend most of your time playing as Jack, who alternates between shooting and brawling at your discretion. While the game offers campy fun at times, it’s saddled with glitches and uninspired design. With his beloved city crumbling under corruption and gang warfare, honest cop Jack Slate enlists his partner and (man’s) best friend, Shadow, as he embarks on a one-man quest for truth, justice, and looking good in a tight t-shirt. In some scenarios, players take direct control of the dog, while Jack is busy or incapacitated.ĭead to Rights: Retribution reanimates the dormant K-9 cop series - unseen in five years - for its third console title. As in the previous generation's original two Dead to Rights games, Jack is accompanied by Shadow, a trained police dog and truly trustworthy ally, who helps in combat as well as in puzzle-solving. Following the lead of earlier games, Retribution is designed to allow players to approach each situation as they choose, switching between crushing combat blows, agile disarming abilities, and two-fisted shooting, as they progress through each chapter. Central to the play of the game is Jack's ability to fight against multiple enemies at once, using both his superior hand-to-hand combat skills and his super-accurate shooting skills, in battles that play out as in a Hong Kong action movie. The ideological hero's unwillingness to compromise makes him a lone wolf in the corrupt Grant City. The first in the series to be designed for high-definition consoles, Retribution is a reimagining of the 2002 Xbox original, featuring the same basic characters and settings, but offering many new combat abilities and some new twists on the rebellious cop storyline.

Dead to Rights: Retribution returns players to the role of Jack Slate for violent, high-velocity 'gun-fu' combat against overwhelming odds.
