Dead to Rights II: New Screens
Exciting new pics from namco sequel.
An explosive cop drama, Dead to Rights II is Namco's sequel that promises unprecedented "freedom in dispatching lowlife thugs through an innovative spherical slow motion attack system".
Preceding the events of the original, the game finds Grant City once again under the thumb of organized crime, as a powerful gang lord is holding an important city official hostage. Sent in to solve the crime and clean up the streets, veteran cop Jack Slate and his K-9 companion Shadow will have to infiltrate the meanest neighborhoods in the city to blow the cover on a terrible spiral of corruption and lies.
Busting heads and taking names has never been easier for Jack and Shadow, who utilize a bone crunching selection or ranged and melee weapons, including meat cleavers, baseball bats, assault rifles, shotguns and rocket launchers.
Combined with vicious real-time attacks from Shadow and an all-new assortment of lethal disarms, Dead to Rights II is not far from release - with the US version scheduled for release next week and Europe waiting until summer for probably the same old, boring reasons.
