This review is from: Dead to Rights (Video Game)

Everything that made Dead to Rights such a smash on home consoles, including the incredibly violent disarms and kills and police dog attacks, have either been toned down or removed entirely. Dead to Rights for the GBA is one game that should never have been made. It's almost impossible to translate all the bloody mayhem and gameplay of the home conversion to a 32-bit portable, and this conversion proves it. A game that was built on it's shooting and gunplay action is translated here with a completely unreliable shooting interface, which combined with the overly complicated control scheme makes Dead to Rights mindnumbing to say the least. And you'd think with a complicated control scheme that all the super cool martial arts moves you could perform in the home versions would be here, but they're not. There's no blood at all in the game either, except in some well designed cut scenes with text. If you can get past the control scheme, you'll find Dead to Rights pretty easy and quick to get through, but you'll have to get to that point first if you don't throw your GBA against the wall in frustration first. All in all, GBA owners who may have been looking forward to Dead to Rights on the GBA should leave this on the shelf. Avoid at all costs.
