Dead to Rights


 * For the Game Boy Advance version see Dead to Rights (GBA).

Dead to Rights is a third-person shooter video game published by Namco for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Nintendo GameCube. Released on August 8, 2002 as a timed-exclusive for the Xbox platform, Dead to Rights features gameplay similar to that of games in the Max Payne series; using mixed perspectives and elements of time distortion. The game is linear and is mostly action based. The are, however, several "mini games" that put the player in various gameplay positions, for instance a scene where the player must time button presses correctly; a concept vaguely similar to DDR.
