Dead to Rights is a third-person shooter that utilizes "bullet time," where the on-screen action slows down for precision shooting. There is also a rudimentary hand-to-hand combat system, as well as a grapple attack, allowing Jack to perform cinematic closeup death sequences. Jack's dog, Shadow, can also be used to perform attacks.GameSpot: Dead to Rights Review (August 19, 2002)
