Dead to Rights: Retribution is a reboot of the Dead to Rights series that incorporates elements from the previous action game titles, while using its own story to draw players into its world. The protagonist of this Sony PlayStation 3 video game is Jack Slate, who begins the game half dead on a dock with no explanation. Players guide Jack, with the help of his canine partner Shadow, to a bar where Jack begins to explain how he got in that shape. Dead to Rights: Retribution uses a third-person camera to follow the action in a way that allows the player to have a more cinematic control over their character and see more of the action. This video game lets players use several weapons and Shadow to progress through the story and help Jack uncover the conspiracy set to overtake the city. Gameplay in this action game echoes previous titles with some refinements to gameplay that fans should appreciate. Dead to Rights: Retribution continues the legacy of the franchise and provides players the ability to be a lone action hero.
