We're introduced to Jack Slate as he takes a book off of a shelf-it's a book about Houdini's great escapes (in the writing biz, this is known as foreshadowing-extremely obvious foreshadowing. That's right, the game's main character has a name that's only a single letter away from being a parody of an action hero's name. Now for our first digression-his name is Jack Slate-not only is this an incredibly obvious "tough guy" name, but it's eerily similar to the name of Arnold Schwartzenegger's character from Last Action Hero. The game's opening movie gives us a window into one of Jack (our hero) Slate's previous adventures, in which a team of madmen have held the Grant City Public Library hostage. Emerson has put himself in the forefront of the publicity concerning the game, going so far as to claim credit for its plot, from here on in he'll bear the brunt of criticism as well.) In this revision I've used the term "Creators" instead, and that term refers specifically to Writer Flint Dille and especially Producer/Writer Andre Emerson. (Note-It has come to my attention that my use of "Designers" as a derogatory term when discussing the people behind the game may have insulted the myriad honest and hardworking people who crafted this game. Since a discussion of the game's plot will involve recapping most of it, this article will essentially be one extremely long spoiler-so be forewarned. This won't be a traditional review, more of an analysis of the game's plot, along with a few comments thrown in about the gameplay here and there. I'd say it was worth buying, but it's really one of those games you want to rent first, to see if it's your bag of oranges. It also has a plot that is so spectacularly bad that you have to wonder if it was written by actual humans, or rather by retarded gibbons hurling refrigerator magnet poetry tiles at a really long metal board.
"Slate is as much a two-fisted fighting machine as he is a gun-toting kill dispenser." – ĭead to Rights is fun, stylish, and incredibly violent.
