While there's something to be said for a game that cuts to the chase and focuses merely on your ability to lock onto targets and mash the fire button to blast them in the face, Reckoning has shoddy control and some ugly graphical glitches. Its handful of problems really get in the way and make this PSP game short, uninteresting, and not much fun at all.

I think it's possible to have a success shooter on PSP. But if fundamental elements like a functional camera and control systems aren't there, the game just won't work.

Despite its relative good looks, Dead to Rights: Reckoning is more an exercise in frustration than an enjoyable diversion. Not even the four player WiFi deathmatch mode is enough to save this one from the bowels of the budget bargain bin.

This game is the definition of mediocre. The game looks pretty good for PSP and the environments are varied. However the colors and textures are a bit ugly. The gameplay is the same from start to finish. If you beat one level you've beaten them all. While there is a variety of guns the enemy types are pretty much the same. All of this makes repetition set in quickly. The saving grace of this game is that it isn't very long so the dull, monotonous experience is over quickly. The story is barebone and uninteresting. Just a poor excuse to move from one place to another. I was unable to try the multiplayer, but I can't imagine it's much better than the base game. I do not recommend unless you're a fan of the series and wish to play every game in the dead to rights world.

Max Payne'e oldukça benziyor. Tek farkı bu oyunda max payne gibi tek başımıza çatışmıyoruz, bu oyunda her zaman bizi koruyup kollayan bir köpeğimiz var. Eğlenceli ve güzel bir oyun, tavsiye ederim.

Not a bad title but honestly too short and forgettable. I remember I picked this game once, beat it in almost one sitting and never touched it again. The gameplay was also too repetitive for its short duration. Definitely not a must-play PSP game.

A superb single player blast fest with hardly any load times is just what the doctor ordered, and a multiplayer mode made especially for those deathmatch enthusiasts really keeps the longevity of this title well up there.

Gameplay is fast, fun, and frantic.

My all time favorite PSP game. As a big fan of the Hong Kong action cinema, I love the spectacular martial arts disarms, executions and the bullet time shooting. Sure it has some bugs, but so does every game. There's a pretty nice variety of firearms in your arsenal and your dog, Shadow, is also a good "weapon". There is also multiplayer and there are challenge modes as well to keep you attached longer to the game. I recommend it to everybody who likes a good and fun third person shooter, similar to gaming classics like Max Payne or Stranglehold.

The game ultimately boils down to mindlessly shooting everybody in sight, which is only compelling for so long. [Sept 2005, p.85]

An almost uncontrollable camera. [Aug 2005, p.58]

If Namco just spent another month or two polishing the camera and targeting, it could have had a rock solid action title under its belt.

Imagine an aging Max Payne with debilitating rheumatoid arthritis, failing eyesight and prone to fits of epilepsy. That's what you can expect when you play as Jack Slate in Dead to Rights: Reckoning...This game gets no points for trying. Dead to Rights: Reckoning, in no uncertain terms, sucks.

An abomination of a product that wasn't really all that solid to begin with. When a game that depends on a lock-on system and camera to deliver compelling action can't even get that right, it's just not worth playing, and Reckoning is the very definition of wasted money. Stay far, far away.

[РУССКИЙ AND ENG] The game is just great! This is a great action game, good graphics for a portable console. Here are cool locations. Passed in one day, and I do not regret the time spent. There are many in this game, to get as many weapons as possible. And most importantly, the plot. Here is just a great story! The ending will at least surprise ****, although here you just need to kill different opponents, but you can use a different battle style. You can use weapons. You can punch (it is very difficult). You can kill opponents with a slow time. You can set your dog on the enemy. You can take a weapon from a somersault and kill the enemy. The game is very much like Max Payne, and it's cool! The game is cool, you can immediately see that they tried on this game. You will not regret! [RUS] Игра просто отличная! Здесь отличная боевка, хорошая графика для портативной приставки. Здесь классные локации. Прошел за один день, и не жалею о потраченном времени. В этой игре много, афигеть как много оружии. И самое главное, сюжет. Здесь просто отличный сюжет! Концовка вас как минимум удивит. Да, хоть здесь и нужно просто убивать разных противников, но зато вы можете использовать разный стиль боя. Вы можете использовать оружие. Можете бить кулаками ( это очень сложно ). Вы можете убивать противников с замедленным временем. Вы можете натравить свою собаку на противника. Вы можете с кувырка взять оружие, и убить противника. Игра очень сильно похожа на Max Payne, и это круто! Игра классная, сразу видно, что старались над этой игрой. Вы не пожалеете!

In this review, only the negative aspects of the game are considered. The purpose of this work is to help you to get a better decision on the purchase of the game My Rating: 5 of 10 Weak points (Single player only): - Control is a very annoying - The story of the game is not fully described and very short - The game play is on repeating cycle - The enemy A.I is very simple and easy to beat
