OT: Dead to Rights for the Xbox

Hey boys:
 
 I rented Dead to Rights for the Xbox last night and played it for about an hour.
 
 Sure, that´s not much time to spend with a game, but my initial impressions are mediocre, at best.
 
 The gameplay is very simple, aim and fire with a couple of special moves; the fighting system is very basic; the two minigames I played so far -- pick the lock and get past the bouncers at the strip joint -- were simple and dull; the graphics weren´t top-shelf Xbox quality; and the voice acting and script are absolutely horrible.
 
 I´ll keep playing this game, but so far I´m glad I didn´t shell out $50 sight unseen for it. I shut it off after an hour to play more NFL 2K3. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">
 
 IGN hyperventilated about the quality of Dead to Rights after E3 in May. Once again, that proves that friends shouldn´t let friends trust IGN, the biggest industry ass-lickers in the gaming press.
 
 Take care,

Yep it only took me watching 30 minutes of in game play @ the gamestore to decide not to get this one.
 
 I did enjoy the opening movie though.

Brent:
 
 Spot-on, man: The opening movie blurred the line between a movie and a game.
 
 Take care,
