Namco Hometek Inc.'s highly anticipated Dead to Rights is scheduled to launch for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft in the U.S. in late July. Inspired by Hong Kong action movies, classic film noir style and hardboiled detective novels, Dead To Rights stars action noir hero, Jack Slate, a good cop in a bad city, forced to be a fugitive as he fights for his life and searches for his father's killers.
Namco producers were committed to bring the elements that define action movies and physically implement them into video game play. The result is a supercharged action crime thriller with a thick plot, devoted hero and hours of engulfing game play.
"We wanted to create a video game like no other, infusing elements from our favorite movies and allowing players to make discoveries each time they play," said André Emerson, Namco senior producer. "Dead To Rights was designed with great depth and detail, and the result is an intense and adult experience that can't really be described within existing game genres."
