Dead to Rights (PS2)

Dead to Rights PS2 takes place in Grant City, USA, a once bustling gold-mining town turned corrupt--becoming "the hardest place on Earth". Jack Slate, a Grant City cop, arrives at a murder scene to discover that his father, private investigator and former cop Frank Slate, is the victim. As Jack begins the dangerous and labyrinthine task of finding his father's killer, he is framed for another murder. The twisting plot, seedy citizens of Grant City and high-adrenaline action leave players wanting more.

Dead to Rights PS2 features more than a dozen game mechanics including diving, rolling, punching, kicking and lethally disarming enemies in a variety of over-the-top ways. Jack's canine partner (a husky named Shadow) lives up to the name "man's best friend", helping Jack investigate crime scenes, sniff out bombs, retrieve weapons and attack enemies. Unique gameplay scenarios, mini-games and stop-motion special effects add to the action.
