Dead to Rights Hints VIII (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 that 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

Training: Unlimited ammunition

At the beginning of the training, after you blow the men up with the canister, switch weapons to your pistol. You can shoot without running out of ammunition.

Destroying the clown van in the cemetery

Use the canisters that explode and drop one on either side of the gate, in the corner between the wall and the gate. Do not throw it. Walk away and shoot the canister. Repeat the process until the van is destroyed. This may take a while, but it works.

Throw a few canisters at the van without shooting them. This works best when at mid field. When you have them in front of the van, throw one at the van and wait until the can gets directly in front of the gunner, then shoot it. This will take a lot of life out of him. A few more and it is done.
