Dead to Rights: Retribution forms an original story portraying key events that shape and define Jack Slate’s character including how he and Shadow first come together as partners against those who would bring the once great city to its knees. Returning to Grant City, a boom town gone bust that is falling to the worst excesses of crime, greed and corruption Dead to Rights: Retribution follows vice cop Jack Slate as he fights to expose shadowy figures that stops at nothing to exert their deadly influence over the crumbling metropolis. At the end of the game, Jack kills Hennessey in the boiler room of an apartment building and leaves town, stating that while he has justice for his father's murder it will take more than him to clear the city of crime.Thrusting players into a mature neo-noir crime drama as a vice cop Jack Slate and his canine companion Shadow, the game introduces new gameplay elements that unify the third person shooting and brawling genres for a brutal and relentless new action-driven experience. He first gets clothes at the apartment he was framed at and goes to Chinatown for information. However, after seven months in prison, Jack escapes from imprisonment by putting battery acid on the electric chair wires and hunts down Hennesey, clearing away the city's crime lords in the process. He is eventually framed for another murder by the corrupt police chief Richard "Dick" Hennesey, in a bid to stop Jack before he undermines the status quo.
In pursuit of his father's killer, Jack is led through a labyrinth of crime and corruption. One night while on a routine patrol, Jack responds to a call at a construction zone, only to find his own father murdered. The two patrol Grant City, a metropolis seemingly populated with more criminals than honest citizens. Jack Slate is a police officer partnered with his K-9 unit, Shadow. In some puzzle sections, the player actually takes direct control of the canine to reach areas that the human character cannot. The player is sometimes accompanied by a canine partner who can attack enemies on command, who will automatically kill whatever enemy he's aimed at and then bring the player whatever the enemy was carrying (to keep the dog from being too powerful, it can only be used when a meter for it fills up). The game advertises itself as drawing inspiration from Hong Kong action cinema, i.e. Dead to Rights makes use of bullet time, a popular gameplay contrivance of the time. It was followed by Dead to Rights II in 2004/2005 and Dead to Rights: Retribution on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010.
A year after its console debut, the game was released for Microsoft Windows. It was released on Jas a timed exclusive for the Xbox, and releases for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube followed thereafter. Dead to Rights is a third-person shooter produced by Namco.
