Dead to Rights II is a third-person action video game, developed by Widescreen Games, published by Namco, and released in 2005. Serving as a prequel to Dead to Rights, it begins with the story of Jack Slate and Shadow before the events of the original game

Widescreen Games and Namco teamed up for the PlayStation 2 release of Dead to Rights II: Hell to Pay, a taut and gritty shooter that is long on consistently paced violence interspersed with profanity and a seamy underbelly of society. Gee, all the things that should make for a solid shooter title. Unfortunately, with Dead to Rights II.this is more of the “safe” approach and no real risks were taken.
