Dead to Rights vs Payback

Jack Slate, a police officer framed for murder, breaks out of Iron Point Maximum‑Security Penitentiary to hunt down the conspirators in Grant City. The game blends intense third‑person shooting, hand‑to‑hand combat, and a variety of minigames as you navigate a corrupt urban landscape. Along the way you can disarm enemies, pick locks, wield an arsenal of weapons, and even compete in arm‑wrestling, bench‑press, and dancing challenges, delivering a diverse and cinematic action experience.

Payback lets you dive into a crime‑filled city where every level is a sandbox of points and choices. Whether you follow the kingpin, hunt secret missions, or unleash chaos, the only goal is to rack up the required score. Built on a custom 3D GBA engine, the game delivers smooth framerates, special‑effect‑rich visuals, and a blend of shooter, racing, and action gameplay that echoes classic open‑world titles while staying uniquely its own.
