Play Dead to Rights Online
You play as a cop punching thugs and grabbing their guns, flipping in slow-mo while your attack dog mauls anyone who gets too close. The shotgun feels brutal when you actually find ammo for it.
Dead to Rights on the GBA is a surprisingly solid top-down shooter that feels like a stripped-down version of the console game. You play as Jack Slate, a cop who stumbles onto his dad’s murder in a Chinatown construction site—and suddenly you’re dodging bullets while trying to figure out who’s behind it all.
The controls are simple but satisfying: tap a button to punch guys in the face, or grab their dropped guns when things get messy. The shotgun absolutely wrecks enemies up close, though I kept running out of ammo for it. Shadow the attack dog is fun to unleash when you’re surrounded, and the slow-mo dive move never gets old—watching Jack flip through the air while blasting three guys at once feels way cooler than it should on a tiny screen.
It’s not perfect (the camera sometimes fights you in tight spaces), but for a GBA action game, it packs in more variety than you’d expect. Just don’t get too attached to Jack’s dad.
