Thrusting players into a mature neo-noir crime drama as a vice-cop Jack Slate and his canine companion Shadow, the game introduces new gameplay elements that unify the third-person shooting and brawling genres for a brutal and relentless new action-driven experience.
Returning to Grant City, a boom town gone bust that is falling to the worst excesses of crime, greed and corruption, Dead To Rights: Retribution follows vice-cop Jack Slate as he fights to expose shadowy figures that will stop at nothing to exert their deadly influence over the crumbling metropolis. Dead To Rights: Retribution will form an original story portraying key events that shape and define Jack Slate's character including how he and Shadow first come together as partners against those who would bring the once great city to its knees.
Introducing an innovative new hybrid combat system, Dead To Rights: Retribution puts the full combat potential of a highly trained, highly agitated law-enforcement officer into players' hands. Use your sidearm to pick off enemies from a distance, take cover and blind-fire with the game's new ranged combat mechanics, or push the issue by taking human shields, stealing weapons with special disarm moves or dishing out Jack's own brutal brand of justice with deadly takedown moves. Jack is equally lethal in close-quarters combat, offering players branching melee combos, counter-attacks and disarms as they take the fight to the criminal element of Grant City. Jack will encounter a variety of ruthless gangs in the filthy slums and menacing alleys of Grant City, each with their own unique abilities and fighting style that will test his resolve to crush their murderous stranglehold.

If you enjoyed the old side scrollers (streets of rage/double dragon/golden axe etc) this game is a must!
Not too difficult and the simplicity of it is a refreshing break. Well designed levels with a smooth combat system makes for hours of enjoyment.
I liked the first Dead to Rights game so when this came out I thought I would try it out, its basically a remake and a pretty good one at that!Your dog Shadow is way more involving now - you take control of him in some level sections enabling you to shred your enemies or creep up on them and take them out stealthily and when playing as Jack you can command shadow to attack or pick up weapons for you.
The gunplay and hand to hand combat is pretty satisfying, sure its nothing we havnt seen before but its done better than most offerings!
Not for those who are looking for the a replacement to the likes of GTA, MGS or COD. You would be way off.
However, for a basic game to play when bored, look no further.
The game has an acceptable standard of graphics and the violence will definitely make you smile (especially Shadow the Dog).
It does for when you've just completed that big game you spent a lot of money on and now you need something else to play, while waiting on the next big thing.
Don't pay much attention to the review score, it isn't your GTA's or your MGS's but if all you want is aload of mindless fun while popping heads in slow-mo this is for you.
I can't tell you how many times I laughed at some of the stuff you can do in this game, for example, when you play as your dog 'Shadow' you can perform these savage moves where you can go for the enemies privates which is called a 'Scrotality' (thats one PS trophie already) if you don't find this funny then chances are you won't like the game. But for times when you just want to turn off your brain for a couple of hours, there really is no alternative.
Graphics are actually really good in places and the sound adds that bit more atmosphere, it's a great way to rack up on Trophies aswell, buy it and enjoy.
