Dead to Rights 2

Released:2005
Platform: Xbox, PS2
Genre: Dumb
I really like this game, help me.











Either the worst great game or the best bad game ever made, Dead to Rights 2 is a celebration of the brainless violence that is too often glossed over in games that attempt to have “meaning”. Jack Slate, the policeman you play as, is clearly a far worse human being than any of the crime bosses he fights, the glee he takes in the murdering of countless grunts is passed the line of your average badass ass and into full-fledged psychotic territory. He also insists on making mind-gratingly irritating puns at the beginning of every level, something I can usually get behind, but not by this bonehead.





This is falling with style.




Anyway, as far as the game goes, it’s basically a constant stream of living dudes running at you. It’s your job to make them dead. As soon as you do that and walk forward five feet, there will be another stream of guys for you to kill. You do this for 5 hours and then the game ends. Luckily, the game controls well and Jack has a lot of moves making the killing fun for an hour or two or until your brain turns into jelly (whichever comes first). Dead to Rights 2 is not a game for people who are looking for buzzwords like “variety”, “good dialogue”, “depth”, “ambition” or “value”. However, it’s definitely satisfying for the twitch gamer who is looking for “fun”.
