Dead to Rights: Retribution

""There are plenty of things that Retribution does right. The game kept me coming back more often than I expected, but each time I left feeling let down.

"In a gaming landscape dominated by First Person Shooters and 3rd Person cover-based shooters, a title endeavoring to blend seamless gunplay with hand-to-hand combat should be applauded for the effort alone. The original Dead To Rights (Xbox, PS2) refined then-infant gameplay elements such as 'Gun Fu' and Bullet Time, and served to push the 3rd person action genre forward.
