Namco Hometek announced today that Dead to Rights: Reckoning has shipped to retail outlets throughout North America. Developed by Rebellion in the UK, "Dead to Rights: Reckoning" is a third person action game featuring frantic cinematic action, an original hard-nosed cop storyline and wireless multiplayer shootouts for up to four players. The game takes the series’ trademark thrills and a selection of all-new content mobile on the PSP system.

A prequel to the original best-selling "Dead to Rights," Grant City is once again thrown into chaos in "Dead to Rights: Reckoning," as a significant informant is kidnapped and only Jack Slate has the means and the resolve to make things right. A tough cop fighting on the edge of the law, Jack must use his street smarts and a fearsome arsenal of hand-to-hand combat, pistols, shotguns and heavy automatic weaponry to bring the criminals of Grant City to justice. "Dead to Rights: Reckoning" features a collection of all-new, all-lethal moves including tackling disarms, diving and firing from a prone position and dual wielding even the most powerful of weapons. Jack is once again joined by his faithful K-9 partner, Shadow, who can now unleash four-legged savagery on even boss characters and make the city’s toughest thugs think twice about asking for trouble. For the first time in the series, "Dead to Rights: Reckoning" lets players go head to head in wireless multiplayer deathmatches for up to four players. Virtual crime fighters can use points accumulated in the single player game to unlock additional multiplayer skins, levels and an assortment of outrageous cheats.
