Me and my Mom played through this together back when it came out but we could never get past the Hand to Hand w/ The Mayor. Sad to see we were so close to beating the game. But we had a blast playing.
@@UnknownUser-zp5ez She had no problem with the Strippers. What I remember is she would just joke about em with the graphics being what they were back then.
I loved this game growing up. As a kid i didn't own a PlayStation so for me yhis was my Max Payne for the longest... My GameCube had some pretty random titles lol
I use play true crimes on my gamecub .. that’s the first time I got hip to that game cause my friend gave me his game cub when the Xbox 360s came out .. one of the best times of my life back then .
The short answer: Yes. I replayed the PS2 version of the hardest difficult and it was ball-bustingly, nut-explodingly hard but By GOD was it satisfying, fun and cathartic. Non-stop action and creativity. The sequels all sucked tho.
To me as a kid, this game was next generation and looking at now?.. yea didnt age too well but I still love those badass disarms, and melee boss battles with the music
I loved this game back in the day. I liked that it was like Max Payne, but also had melee fighting and a doggo. I remember the story being wackier. It would be a great game to remake to fix the flaws. So hopefully that Max Payne remake is successful so Namco can copy them again ;)
Looking back, the way Jack nonchalantly confirms his dad's death to the lady sorta encourages my headcanon that the dude was just looking for an excuse to massacre the guys who made his original job extremely difficult lmao
This is among your best profiles on a classic guilty pleasure, outstanding all the way around brother! This is a favorite franchise of mine, I own both games for the original Xbox & "Dead to Rights Retribution" for the 360, along with all 3 strategy guides!
the disarm moves and the human shields were the coolest thing to me as a kid, on top of it being one of the few violent games on gamecube at the time, I had to play it lol.
The facted that Jack, a cop, got thrown in prison for murder might be the most unrealistic part of this game. 23:24 He sounded like he was about to spit some bars over a royalty free instrumental. 25:09 Loved this. Sounded like he was gonna say more but decided that he roasted him enough.
Think the only reason it happened was because Hennessy, the warden and the mayor all wanted Jack gone haha. Otherwise no way a cop would see a cell for killing a known criminal 🤣🤣
This game was dope! I had this back in the day and was blown away by the slow motion gameplay. I liked that you had ur dog showdown with u as well. Nothing compares to Max Payne tho lol
He likes it! Hey, Mikey! And, finally, someone who recognizes that this game is campy. I've been in arguments with an online friend that this game fits all the facets of what the concept of "camp" is. It may not be on the level as the third and fourth Saints Row games or the original voice acting in Resident Evil, but there is definitely a camp element to this game. That's part of the charm.
Back in 2005/6, I bought a pirated disc of this in Saudia Arabia with a bootleg cover saying "Max Payne 3", the installation had the song 'He shot me down Bang Bang' and I had a time of my life when I was a kid.
@@MrHammers since Halloween is coming up Id love to see you review a forgotten but underrated action horror game called Shadows of the Damned. I don't really have a list though, I was just being facetious. I'll watch anything you put out.
the fact that he just takes the gun during dissarms without it teleporting to his hand in an obvious manner is nuts especially for a ps2 game, most modern games dont even bother
I've never played any game from this series i have come close to picking up Retribution for my PS3 lately maybe i'll wait and see your video on it before i do great content as always keep up the hard work & i hope you're keeping well
I genuinely loved this game. The diving and slow time bullets absolutely blew my mind back then. I loved running around with pistols killing everyone. The prison sequence was my favourite
What a blast from the past. Damn were some console versions notoriously difficult, to the point when the Zaibatsu got around to playing this many years back they had to swap out a newer release to make it past "China Town D-Day". Speaking of which, I swear Jack Slate has a bodycount surpassing the population of most Midwest US Cities. Despite it's jank, I think that's part of the charm for me. I'm never gonna forget playing this game in a room full Gen-Zer's laughing their asses off during the Strip-Strip revolution minigame. And call it a hunch, I think Grant Cities Gold Refinery churned out 10 times more gold then Humanity had ever excavated to the point I think it would have had it's value cut in half at least lol.
I think you're absolutely correct on grant city's gold and Slates body count. Both were astronomically high, but that's part of the ridiculousness that makes this game charming lol
I got stuck at the drowning torture and stopped playing for a longtime but eventually went back and beat this. It’s a hidden gem for sure, don’t sleep on it!
First dead to rights game I’ve played on the PlayStation 2 back then in well I’ve played this awesome game back in 2008or 07. Yes, I know the game came out 21 yrs ago in 2002. But this DTR game was my freaking favorite of all time. Hands freaking down! The best DTR Game ever imo. Luv it! Luv ur content my friend! And I luv this video right here man. This game was so freaking fun 2 play a lot back then for me and 4 everyone else tho! Love this game like a ton! Idc what any one says bout this awesome masterpiece game! I literally don’t even care! This game was my freaking childhood 100%! Luv it! You got yourself a new sub. Which is me I’m ur new sub on ur UA-cam channel! Love it a lot man. And one of ur 1st YT Vids that I saw from u is this! Luv this vid a lot man. New sub!
When he said 21 years. Wow I'm 31 and I remember playing this as a kid with my brothers. I beat the shit out of this game. I think in my personal opinion. I could go back and play it and enjoy it as much as I did as a kid. It was so fun man. I wish I could go back 5:18
I still remember this game as the *"No No No!!"* moment when I damn near broke my brand new PS2 turning it off when my dad walked in to the living room during the stripper minigame
I remember this. I remember having it. I remember liking it, but I cant remember a thing about it, storyline sequence-wise.. But I will say, for the time, this 3rd person adventure was sort of still experimental and Dead to Rights stood out. GTA3 had ONLY come out EIGHT short months before this came out. People often forget that little boom in 3rd person action games of that era. This. GTA3, Max Payne, True Crime Streets of LA, the original Saints Row. A REALLY good one was Total Overdose- VERY underrated GTA3 clone- but VERY good- it was basically GTA in Mexico with cartels instead of mobs.
I remember playing this a few years ago on the PC, it was HARD. I had to quit for awhile because I was stuck at one point and couldn’t proceed at all. I didn’t want to use cheats so I ended up returning and had to think it through and was able to finish the game. One of the most hardest games I’ve played. The entire series deserves much more recognition, this was one of the main games that introduced the diving / bullet-time mechanic
Might wanna check out true crimes streets of LA. Pretty much the wanna be up grade of this. If max Payne is GTA and dead to rights is saints row TCSLA was saints row 2. Fun action packed lots of unlocks and u can choose whether your a good cop or bad cop and affects your ending (back when this was new and innovative)
I remember this game being beyond hard when I was little lol anytime I tried playing I got to the prison part and couldn’t ever get past it. Played it a couple years ago and couldn’t finish it cuz the controls are just horrible lol
I still love this game, the prison levels always drag a bit to me but i always go back to it. Playing it on xbox series x in 4k 60fps was worth a replay. the sequel and psp game were a let down but retribution was pretty good
This game and "the suffering" were some of my favorite games in that time period. Would be cool to get a sequel or a proper "deadspace/mafia 1" style remake. If you want to successfully do a remake. Mafia 1 and especially Deadspace since they added the new "peel" mechanic. Side missions. Dialoge. More fleshed out side characters and more I'm sure. Any company that remakes a game needs to have those 2 games as their standard. I really want another D2R and The Suffering. That game was truly scary at the time
Fun fact, depending on what platform you play this on the difficulty changes with the GameCube being the easiest and the Xbox being the hardest for the hardcore gamers.
"Dead Of Rights" back then before we had high quality HD gaming was considered a good game. This game had "GTA 3" background environment city graphics. Then add "Stranglehold 's" Shoot & table top slide elements, "Streets Of Rage" combat fights & "Max Payne" vibes......I think the nostalgia is what keeps this game today interesting....if this game would came out today....it's probably wouldn't fly with next Gen gamers. To them this is considered primitive. But us OG gamers, it was a okay game..... 🎮🕹️🤔🕹️🎮🤔🕹️🎮
i have great memories of the dog Shadow more than the main character or the actual game title 😂 if not for this video I would of never knew again.. the dog mechanic is just not that common in video games
The first DTR Games DTR 2 3 reckoning & 4 Retribution I’ve only heard of these 1st recent DTR Games. But, just never played those 3 games before. I’ve only just played just this DTR Game back on my PlayStation 2 a long time ago back then! Again, great DTR Game imo! Luv it. 👌😎
11:55 "Crazy construction workers dropped their nail guns and picked up their bullet guns, and Jack is quick to put them down." God-tier line, right there.
Played this game in my dads house in Puerto Rico in like 2005 when I was 5 I loved it miss those times fr I sometimes hate getting nostalgia because my dad ended up getting killed in pr 2 years later and I never got to see his funeral I don’t even know where he’s buried or if he even is sorry for getting emotional lol but fr this game is amazing idc what anyone says.
One of my favorite action game series ever, really wish that they were able to develop their free roam sequel that they wanted but Retribution didnt sell well enough to justify it
The throwing away of his gun I just chocked up to it not being traced back to him via ballistics but honestly still doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering he doesn't exactly try to hide what he intends on doing.
This is the first video game I’ve ever played and I played it with my dad , it might not hold up but I loved it , so much in fact I played it on the game boy advanced and the Xbox lol and then also the sequel
Me and my Mom played through this together back when it came out but we could never get past the Hand to Hand w/ The Mayor. Sad to see we were so close to beating the game. But we had a blast playing.
Crazy that your mom played this with you lol 😅
Never heard someone playing video games with their mum, how wholesome ❤
Am really curious what was your reactions in the stripper second mission
@@UnknownUser-zp5ez She had no problem with the Strippers. What I remember is she would just joke about em with the graphics being what they were back then.
this is so cute hope you both are doing good
The 2009 reboot is genuinely great by the way
I loved this game growing up. As a kid i didn't own a PlayStation so for me yhis was my Max Payne for the longest... My GameCube had some pretty random titles lol
GameCube had some unique gems on it for sure
I use play true crimes on my gamecub .. that’s the first time I got hip to that game cause my friend gave me his game cub when the Xbox 360s came out .. one of the best times of my life back then .
Don’t worry the GameCube was stronger and better than the ps2. So any games you played on yours was better then theirs
One of my favorite childhood games and earliest memories, love dead 2 rights
The short answer: Yes. I replayed the PS2 version of the hardest difficult and it was ball-bustingly, nut-explodingly hard but By GOD was it satisfying, fun and cathartic. Non-stop action and creativity. The sequels all sucked tho.
The xbox version is even more difficult.
@@christophermorrow6747I still can't believe i beat it as a kid.
@karannegi7199 The "sequels" were in fact, prequels.
@@christophermorrow6747bro facts, that damn helicopter mission in the parking lot
Beat hotline Miami 2 on hard mode and then we’ll talk
To me as a kid, this game was next generation and looking at now?..
yea didnt age too well but I still love those badass disarms, and melee boss battles with the music
the "sunny side up" disarm attack alone makes this game a 10/10 lol
The disarms were so cool, I would replay levels just to try them all
@@MrHammers Type in that infinite health cheat and go to town!
I loved this game back in the day. I liked that it was like Max Payne, but also had melee fighting and a doggo. I remember the story being wackier.
It would be a great game to remake to fix the flaws. So hopefully that Max Payne remake is successful so Namco can copy them again ;)
Fingers crossed.
the ps3 version was decent in my opinion
Looking back, the way Jack nonchalantly confirms his dad's death to the lady sorta encourages my headcanon that the dude was just looking for an excuse to massacre the guys who made his original job extremely difficult lmao
I feel like that’s just how most early 2000s video game voice acting sounds like.
This is among your best profiles on a classic guilty pleasure, outstanding all the way around brother! This is a favorite franchise of mine, I own both games for the original Xbox & "Dead to Rights Retribution" for the 360, along with all 3 strategy guides!
Thank you my friend! I am excited to revisit the rest of the series
@@MrHammers I am really looking forward to your impressions of the other two! I know you will do them justice!
the disarm moves and the human shields were the coolest thing to me as a kid, on top of it being one of the few violent games on gamecube at the time, I had to play it lol.
The facted that Jack, a cop, got thrown in prison for murder might be the most unrealistic part of this game.
23:24 He sounded like he was about to spit some bars over a royalty free instrumental.
25:09 Loved this. Sounded like he was gonna say more but decided that he roasted him enough.
Think the only reason it happened was because Hennessy, the warden and the mayor all wanted Jack gone haha. Otherwise no way a cop would see a cell for killing a known criminal
🤣🤣
And for a reason they keep his dog in the same prisión
Great timing, I just picked this up for the PS2 to revisit.
Enjoy!
This game was dope! I had this back in the day and was blown away by the slow motion gameplay. I liked that you had ur dog showdown with u as well. Nothing compares to Max Payne tho lol
He likes it! Hey, Mikey! And, finally, someone who recognizes that this game is campy. I've been in arguments with an online friend that this game fits all the facets of what the concept of "camp" is. It may not be on the level as the third and fourth Saints Row games or the original voice acting in Resident Evil, but there is definitely a camp element to this game. That's part of the charm.
It's the best kind of campy action dialogue. Thoroughly enjoyed it
Back in 2005/6, I bought a pirated disc of this in Saudia Arabia with a bootleg cover saying "Max Payne 3", the installation had the song 'He shot me down Bang Bang' and I had a time of my life when I was a kid.
Lol, damn Max Payne 3. This game was fun.
Of all the games I was hoping you'd cover next this was not even on the list but I'll watch anyway
What's your list?
@@MrHammers since Halloween is coming up Id love to see you review a forgotten but underrated action horror game called Shadows of the Damned.
I don't really have a list though, I was just being facetious. I'll watch anything you put out.
Ah I gotcha haha. Shadows of the damned sounds interesting I'll take a look at it
The truck line is the best part 23:27 he miss quoted but he says it so well
😂😂
28:58 A true heroic bloodshed. I gave it a shot last year and i liked it.
Great retrospect as always.
I love this channel so much.
💜💜💜
This was great. Had lots of fun playing this way back when
the fact that he just takes the gun during dissarms without it teleporting to his hand in an obvious manner is nuts especially for a ps2 game, most modern games dont even bother
I've never played any game from this series i have come close to picking up Retribution for my PS3 lately maybe i'll wait and see your video on it before i do great content as always keep up the hard work & i hope you're keeping well
Run cfw on the 3 and dl it
good to see you back hope youre doing well
this game reminds me of syphon filter.
Thanks dude!
We need an open world dead to
Rights game.
One of the first Xbox games I ever played .. I like the whole using your dog in the game part
I genuinely loved this game. The diving and slow time bullets absolutely blew my mind back then. I loved running around with pistols killing everyone. The prison sequence was my favourite
I always found funny how, in the majority of cutscenes he is in, Shadow looks like he's zoned out of his mind. Poor pupper has no idea what's going on
The cutscenes, voice acting and humour. Reminds me of A Town With No Name for some reason. 🤔 Great video Mr. Hammers. 👍
Pass me a drink bartender
I didn't play Max Payne, but I did play Dead to Rights.
Unlocking takedowns was everything, they all had really clever names.
Highly underrated channel, been following you for awhile!
Appreciate ya!
Basically was the like true crime streets of LA as in the closest you could get to Rockstar games when all you had was a Gamecube as a kid.

Did you mean plot holes not loop holes? This game is so wacky and wild, so much shit makes no sense, a pound in a prison??? Lol another great video!
I dug this game back in the day.
Intresting fact I replayed the cemetery level with clowns so much when I was younger I got nightmares and a fear of clowns after😅
"Max Payne" is king. "Dead To Rights" didn't come close, but it still had its badass moments (and some parts that kills replayability)
Waiting for the Evil Dead vídeo!
When he said 21 years. Wow I'm 31 and I remember playing this as a kid with my brothers. I beat the shit out of this game. I think in my personal opinion. I could go back and play it and enjoy it as much as I did as a kid. It was so fun man. I wish I could go back 5:18

this was great, hopefully Dead to Rights2 and 3 reviews wil arrive soon 😎
Same I love the 3 one
You mean Dead To Rights Retribution?
This remembers me a lot of State of Emergency

If Hammers and JFJ had a podcast together, you would never know who was talking.

I loved this series even consider DtR2 a guilty pleasure. With DtR: Retribution being my most favorite in the series.
The first one...all of the disarms were FUCKING AMAZING
Excellent overview. Now Dead to rights II however is more of a prequel but good luck reviewing that one
Now that one was bad. The whole series is hit or miss, but that one was genuinely terrible.
Played it use to have it.
Never played the later ones except
The one where you could play his
Dog.

Ayy appreciate ya dude
11:55 "Crazy construction workers dropped their nail guns and picked up their bullet guns, and Jack is quick to put them down."
God-tier line, right there.
Chapter 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 & 11 were my favorite chapters & missions of all-time! My favorite. 👌👍🏻
Distracts them with her fantastic dance moves😂😂😂😂😂 13:58
Loved playing this game when I was a kid .
The nostalgia
Augie Blatz did not kill your father! I'll always remember that!
It was a 20 year old game I loved that the sequel and the punisher 😍😍😍

Can't say that it holds up. I can say that the dog was one of the best dogs in gaming. That is true to this day.
One of my favorite action game series ever, really wish that they were able to develop their free roam sequel that they wanted but Retribution didnt sell well enough to justify it
I keep thinking about the psp version with the dog
I loved the prison section of this game
The throwing away of his gun I just chocked up to it not being traced back to him via ballistics but honestly still doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering he doesn't exactly try to hide what he intends on doing.
I played this in 3rd grade with my cousins! I had a lot of fun🔥🔥😎
U 4got to mention the awesome art at the ending credits.
No one is going to talk about that two piece at 16:57 it was so clean dude just had to walk away.
That double jab deserves respect!
I stole this from Hollywood video after watching the premier showing of Jackass 1 at my local theater. It was legit 21 yrs ago this week damn 🤣
I can tell by the way you said "mothafucka" you got a little hood in you. Respect. 😂😂 Love the channel man.
🤣🤣
Truly forgot this game existed. It’s one of those things u remember but kinda don’t.
I been trying to find out the name of this game for years, thanks!
the prison level where you gotta fight was so cool
I remember having to use cheat codes to skip the strip scene 😭 #gamecubeLife
This is the first video game I’ve ever played and I played it with my dad , it might not hold up but I loved it , so much in fact I played it on the game boy advanced and the Xbox lol and then also the sequel
Great videos, bro!!!
Prison part was the best
I remember having tons of fun with this game when it came out originally it’s hilarious
I'm having ps1 flashbacks to that stripper mini game. Lol I remember as a kid loving it.
jack slate is what you get when you fuse max payne with gabe logan
Respectfully, Max Payne is the best game I’ve ever played. Best story telling imo.
Good video man, you should do XIII that would be a cool story
