Dead to Rights makes use of bullet time, a popular gameplay contrivance of the time. The game advertises itself as drawing inspiration from Hong Kong action cinema, i.e. gun fu. The player is sometimes accompanied by a canine partner who can attack enemies on command, who will automatically kill whatever enemy he's aimed at and then bring the player whatever the enemy was carrying (to keep the dog from being too powerful, it can only be used when a meter for it fills up). In some puzzle sections, the player actually takes direct control of the canine to reach areas that the human character cannot.
Plot
Jack Slate is a police officer partnered with his K-9 unit, Shadow. The two patrol Grant City, a metropolis seemingly populated with more criminals than honest citizens. One night while on a routine patrol, Jack responds to a call at a construction zone, only to find his own father murdered. In pursuit of his father's killer, Jack is led through a labyrinth of crime and corruption. He is eventually framed for another murder by the corrupt police chief Richard "Dick" Hennesey, in a bid to stop Jack before he undermines the status quo. However, after seven months in prison, Jack escapes from imprisonment by putting battery acid on the electric chair wires and hunts down Hennesey, clearing away the city's crime lords in the process. He first gets clothes at the apartment he was framed at and goes to Chinatown for information. There he battles Fat Chow and his goons and interrogates Marvin Silt, a goon who tried to run him down outside the prison before a woman named Eve Adams murders Silt. Eve is able to identify the assassin who was hired to frame Jack and the two have to battle Fat Chow and his goons again, with Jack killing Fat Chow before they are able to escape. Afterward Jack visits his father's grave and meets Hildy, his father's former assistant there and he learns from her that his father was investigating the corrupt mayor and police force for mayoral candidate Gloria Exner before his murder. Jack comes under attack by unknown attackers in clown masks, but eventually escapes the cemetery and links up with Eve again to foil an assassination attempt on Exner at a public debate. The two foil the attempt, but Eve is murdered by Patch, the assassin who framed Jack. Jack chases down Patch and causes his limo to crash, but the crash kills Patch, preventing interrogation, although Jack takes his pager.
Jack then protects Gloria Exner from corrupt police officers attempting to murder her and learns a little more about what his father was investigating, but learns Gloria never found out what he knew as he was murdered before he could tell her. After receiving a message on Patch's pager, Jack chases a man named Gofer around the docks hoping for answers, but finds Gofer murdered and is injured. While Hildy helps him, mercenaries led by Rafshoon Digs captured both Hildy and Jack and takes Jack to meet Fahook Abdul, a Middle Eastern crime lord who basically runs the Grant City underworld. With the help of Shadow, Jack escapes and finally learns what this is really about: gold. The mayor was running a gold mining operation and Jack's father stumbled on it. Jack returns to the prison where he kills Diggs and confronts the mayor who confirms all he's found out already and fills in the rest: the mayor was running a gold mining and smuggling operation with Fahook. Police chief Hennessey, who is corrupt and blackmailing many people, had his hands in the operation. As he would lose money if the mayor was shut down, Hennessey murdered Slate's father to protect it.
The mayor and Jack ally to take down Hennessey, with Jack getting incriminating files from the police station in exchange for a pardon from the mayor. Jack gets the files (learning at the same time that the attackers in the cemetery were corrupt police officers in disguise), but decides to give them to Exner instead, but Exner betrays him and takes the files to give to the mayor out of fear. However, Exner is murdered by Hildy who is now working for Fahook. She takes the files, but doesn't harm Jack who follows her to an abandoned Air Force base that is Fahook's hideout. There, Hildy is murdered by the mayor after giving Fahook the files and Jack kills the mayor in revenge. Fahook escapes on a plane, but Jack manages to get onboard, blowing up the base at the same time. Jack chases Fahook through the plane and battles him in the cargo hold, finally killing him by knocking him out of the plane in mid-flight while getting the files at the same time. The plane crashes back at the airbase and Jack is the only survivor.
Jack then gives the files to reporter Kip Waterman to put on the news before he heads off to get his revenge on Hennessey. At the end of the game, Jack kills Hennessey in the boiler room of an apartment building and leaves town, stating that while he has justice for his father's murder it will take more than him to clear the city of crime. However, Jack states that with Hennessey, Blatz (the man he was framed for murdering) and Fahook, the city's three major crime lords, dead, there will be a struggle for power among the criminal underworld. As Jack revealed the evidence to the media, the FBI investigate the case and presumably clear him of the murder charges, but Jack fakes his death, pretending to have died in the plane crash near the end of the game with only Kip Waterman knowing the truth. During the credits, Preacherman Jones, the man who helped Jack escape from prison and was also framed for a crime, receives a package from Jack with a note saying "faith padre, faith" (what Jack told him earlier in the game when promising to come back for him), a bar of gold and evidence taken from Hennessey's files that could clear Jones' name. Jones then summons a guard to presumably give the evidence to.

Now you can Choose any chapter you want to play by going on desired
Chapter No. and then Pressing "ENTER".
Mini-games:
-----------
To unlock the mini-games, successfully complete the game under any difficulty
setting.
Defeating Diggs:
----------------
Diggs is the ex boxer you will have to face in the later part of the game. When he
reaches three quarters of his health, gas which will hurt you will be turned on.
You can knock off his gas mask and put it on. Keep pressing Triangle to dive and he
cannot touch you. His power will slowly go down, and he will soon be defeated.
Training: Unlimited ammunition:
-------------------------------
At the beginning of the training, after you blow the men up with the canister, switch
weapons to your pistol. You can shoot with out running out of ammunition.
Destroying the clown van in the cemetery:
-----------------------------------------
Use the canisters that explode and drop one on either side of the gate, in the corner
between the wall and the gate. Do not throw it. Walk away and shoot the canister. Repeat
the process until the van is destroyed. This may take a while, but it works.
Flaming Fisted Man warning:
---------------------------
After defeating Flaming Fisted Man, the game restarts itself. This does not allow you to
save your game, meaning that you either start a new game or continue fighting Flaming
Fist Man repeatedly.
Defeating people without guns:
------------------------------
To defeat people that do not have guns easier, keep blocking and dodging. If you do not
dodge, you will still get hurt. When you are in the prison, you will learn how to reverse
a grab. This allows you to avoid getting hurt when they grab you. When you reverse the
grab, you will throw their arms in the air. This will leave them open to attack (punch,
kick, grab, etc.). However, they can still block.
Defeating Hennessey:
--------------------
You have to fight Hennessey three times before you can win. The first time he will have
an electric riot shield, making it impossible to attack him head-on. In order to defeat
him, you have to first get rid of the shield. To do this, lure Hennessey into the fountain
in the middle of the battle area. He will electrocute the water and shock himself.
Make sure that you are not too near the fountain or you will get shocked as well. Another
way is to repeatedly circle the fountain, keeping good distance between Hennessey and
yourself. While circling, there should be a gun lying on the ground, relatively close to
the water. You can pick this gun up and shoot Hennessey with it, slowly taking out his
shield. Do not worry about ammunition, as the gun regenerates. This may take awhile, but
it is possible to kill Hennessey without taking damage. After the shield is broken,
Hennessey runs off to hide, all the while mocking you. You will have to take out a couple
of his GAC goons, but they provide no more of a fight than they did in previously.
Note: You are now weaponless. Do not get too excited when you find the gun sitting in
front of the doors -- it gets knocked out of your hands and out of reach before the fight
starts. In order to defeat Hennessey you now have to fight him hand to hand, except he
has an advantage, fire fists. Do not let him get too close to you, but at the same time,
try to throw him as much as possible. Eventually when he gets to about half health, he
will comment about how it is getting chilly and open a huge furnace door. This is where
it gets a little easier. Throw Hennessey into the new area and watch his health deplete
as he burns. Repeat this to take him out for the second time. The third time, he walks
out completely engulfed in flames, at full health. Even though he is encompassed by
flames, continue throwing him into the furnace so that he can take more damage and
you will finally avenge your father's death.
Defeating Pinnacle:
-------------------
While fighting Pinnacle, repeatedly press "Jump" to easily dodge his attacks. Jack
will automatically turn to face Pinnacle before he jumps -- you do not have to worry
about getting too far away from him. While Jack is jumping, he is impervious to all
of Pinnacle's attacks. Do this repeatedly to tire Pinnacle out, then jump on his back
and finish him off. You can also attack Pinnacle in front by punching and using low
kicks, but this is not recommended as it does not take much damage from Pinnacle.
Destroying the clown man in the cemetary:
-----------------------------------------
Use the 7 canisters that explode and drop on either side of the gate, in the corner
between the wall and the gate. Do not throw it. Walk away and shoot the canister.
Repeat the process until the van is destroyed. This may take a while, but it works.
