Dead to Rights was a fantastic third-person shooter inspired by many Hong Kong and action noir thrillers. The game sold more than 500k copies in its prime and was well-received by critics and players alike. This article takes a trek back to the past, covering some of the changes as seen in the E3 2001 footage.
Some of the changes are the following:
- Different running animation
- Different combat moves
- Different clothes
- Different environment
- Special finishing moves are absent from the final game
- Different HUD for both your HP and weapons
- Different aim pointer
