Fun game that's too short and hard to controlJul 24, 2005
By Gadgester
"No Time, No Money"
The PSP version of Dead to Rights is a fun shoot-'em-up game that features "bullet time": when you press and hold the dive button (the triangle) button, you enter slow motion time where you can pick off each target and kill them with just one shot. It takes some practice to do this, as right after you enter the slow motion "bullet time" -- it lasts just a few seconds -- you have to lock each target, shoot, lock the next target, shoot, repeat. It's easier said than done, hampered by the stupid in-game camera, which often messes up your game. The camera is insanely stupid at time, which is why I give this game only 2 stars. It's really very poorly implemented on the PSP, which has a small, cramped-feeing control pad to start with.
The other reason for the two star rating is the game is ridiculously short. Just rent it from Blockbuster (which, BTW, lets you keep a game or video for up to two weeks) and I bet you can finish it in a day or two. Multi-player mode is pretty lame after a while, too, as there's little variety. The soundtrack is okay and adds to the mayhem experience. Finally, while at times you can command your loyal dog Shadow to attack your enemy, it's a rather limited feature.
Seriously, the game could have been so much better. I thought after all the problems they had with the console versions, the developers would finally get the gameplay right. Nope.
Verdict: do NOT waste your money on this one. It's too short and too frustrating at times. At best a rental title.

This is not a good gameAug 30, 2005
By Gregory V. Shields This game is more like the arcade shooting game. The controls are set up extremely poorly. Even worse, it is just not very entertaining

short &sweet!!Jul 03, 2005
By T. Hinton I purchased 'Dead to Rights' the day it came out. I also completed it the day it came out. Basically, the gameplay is addictive, graphics impressive- overall an excellent game production, much along the same lines as 'Max Payne'. Its just way too short!! It has about 10 short, easy levels. Before you know it, its over! Your left high and dry- pineing for more gameplay.
