Dead to Rights Hints (PS2)

Dead to Rights is a videogame developed and published by Namco Hometeck. It was released for the PlayStation 2 gaming console from Sony, the original Xbox from Microsoft, the GameCube and the PC. It was launched in November 2002. The title can be played from a first or third person perspective, and is classed as an action game with some mystery elements.

The game puts the player in the shoes of Jack Slate, who is a police officer in the fictional Grant City. When he is out on a routine police patrol, Jack is framed by unknown forces for having killed his father, whose body he discovered. Not willing to take the blame, Jack becomes a runaway and tries to prove his being innocent. Along the way, he must fight a lot of enemies and piece together the identities of those who framed him.

The game takes place in a variety of locations, like hotels, office buildings, bars and even a prison, which you will get to see by playing the role of an inmate.

One of the best put together elements of the game is the combat. Jack is a very skilled fighter. He can throw a fire extinguisher at his enemies while shooting it; he can grab someone and protect himself by using their body. He can also perform a wide variety of unarmed moves which make the enemy lose their weapon and then finish them off. There's even an option to slow down time by using the adrenaline building up as you fight.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Mini games

To unlock the mini-games, successfully complete the game under any difficulty setting.

Disarms

Every type of weapon has five disarms (Circle, Up + Circle, Left + Circle, Right + Circle, and Down + Circle). An exception is the shotgun - Circle and Up + Circle. Disable the "Random Disarms" option or you will not learn any new ones.

The disarms are held by one enemy on each level possessing guns. Go through the levels, disarming everyone possible. Keep tabs of whom you were able to disarm in a particular room before you die. When you continue, you will know which ones are remaining to disarm until you check everyone. Then, move on, save, and repeat. There is a shotgun disarm on mission 2 after the Boss. There are five disarms for all weapons, including the shotgun. The enemies will only unlock disarms for the weapons they are using, and of course there are no disarms on the levels without guns. Always use cover, duck behind something, or wait around a corner and be patient. Eventually, they will approach closer. Press one of the Circle combos - their fate is sealed. Draw them closer one by one and disarm them or take them hostage systematically, while never exposing yourself. The objective is to not get shot, or go down in a blaze of glory.

The following are all the disarm moves in the game.
