:( I love my Saturn, granted a lot of the great games on it are imports but hey I like being abel to switch between my characters in XMen VS Street Fighter. :lol:

Is Dead to Rights supposed to be relased on Ps2 as well or is this an XBox only title. If so thats one more reason to buy one:).

EGM has a policy of not reviewing unfinished games.

I'm guessing they just got it earlier than the online sites, which is a possibility as they are on a tighter (earlier) deadline, and they are the most read console gaming magazine.

Of course I have no way of knowing, it would just be odd for them to have reviewed an unfinished game when they've stated several times they don't review unfinished games.

I mean the Eternal Darkness review was a month late for this very reason.

Dead to Rights is coming to all systems.

Really? I know of a few games they've reviewed that weren't "finished" ... :D

But I can't get into specifics.

Like I said, I've just read in the magazine, and in posts by editors on their forum, that they don't.

Whether they're 100% true to their word is a different story.

JoshTinkle,

GameInformer is actually the biggest gaming magazine in terms of readership/circulation now.. Not EGM.

Oh, that's strange as it sucks. I guess it's because of the dorks at gamestop whoring the subscription everytime you buy something.

I was just going by the Ziff Davis site as I noticed it said EGM was the largest when I was changing my address the other day.

Wow!!
 

I'm in chapter 4 and this game get harder and harder but I love it. The way you kill the criminals are cool.

who else is enjoying this title?

This game seems pretty d*mn cool, as we just rented it two days ago after we beat buffy.

Going to have to say I prefer Max Payne so far, as its grittier and I prefer the controls better. But DTR is quite an awesome game.

i like it cause it is an actually challneging video game, as much as i like halo,i could make it through on normal without much complexity involved. although em and a buddy are having a hell of a time on legendary

I know what you mean. Chapter 2 (3?) in the prison was a real nutbuster, and it woulda been nicer with more moves.

Chapter 4 was going pretty well till I got hung up trying to get past Lotus. It took me a looong time to figure out that she's the only one you *have* to kill in order to make it out -- trying to get everyone was virtually impossible.

The disarms/shadow would also be a lot more useful if you could use them on "everyone" other than the bosses. Not being able to use them on the "semi-bosses" like Lotus's underlings is really tough since you have to keep cycling to find a good target and for instance, the underlings and the Massage girls look almost identical.

Compared to that room, the whole graveyard level was a breeze. Got up to the helicopter shooter before I had to return the rental. It's a really tough game, but it's nice that you'll never have to replay a really long section if you die -- unlike Halo. Think I'll be buying this one.

Halo Legendary on the other hand is driving me nuts. I thought heroic was tough the first time, but going through legendary single player is virtually impossible. I got up to a point in "halo" before I hit a checkpoint with just one health unit and no more first aid kits -- in other words, screwed. Had to restart the level and it's really driving me crazy. Started another heroic game so I wouldn't feel so frustrated. It's just funny how after playing legendary (even if you don't get too far), Heroic is a cakewalk.

I got Dead to Rights a couple days ago, haven't had a chance to play it yet though. I'm still playing Mario Sunshine, up to 54 shines woo hoo! :)

think.......
 

Wouldn't be cool if there was cooperative multiplayer in Dead to Rights?

I was having a good time with this game - while its not Max Payne, the gunbattles are a hoot.

But now I'm in prison. I have to get 25 packs of cigarettes. I have only two. I spent a fair while last night on the weightlifting mini-game, and haven't beaten it yet.

Those of you who've passed the prison level - do I actually have to beat 25 mini-games? Please say it ain't so!!!

There is not 25 mini games. Once you complete the 3 in the gym. Your done for mini games except one more. I won't tell you what you have to do though.

Fair enough, Kegman!

Thanks for the good news.

I rented it and was glad I didn't buy it. It was okay and some of the levels were interesting, but the mini-games do get a little old. My biggest complaint is having an enemy "appear" behind my back and shoot me. Doesn't matter if you clear a room, enemies will just materialize once you have your back turned. Just seems like a lazy way for the developers to make the game harder.

I rented it this weekend and I'm up to Chapter 10. I'm hoping to finish it before I have to return it.

The graphics are pretty good, sometimes they look terrible though (like the stripper mini-game). Environments are nice, with decent fogg effects.

The gameplay is pretty fun, but the camera control drives me nuts. I keep ending up with the camera in a wall while I'm trying to fight. I like the minigames....they break up the monotony of enter room...kill 8-10 guys....go to next room. It gets repetative at times.

I like the story though and that's keeping me interested.
