I'm slightly confused by this one to some extent.
I have no interest in this game, and will likely never buy it, and It's not that I didn't expect Yahtzee to not rip it a new one... I mean that's what he does. But I'm wondering why all of this insane, gleeful, over the top destruction and death inflicted by a goverment agent is treated so differantly here than with "Just Cause 2".
I have managed to get a cheap copy of JC-2, which kind of surprised me. I've been playing it on and off and having more fun than I expected. The idea of it appeals to me more for whatever reason than a generic "hard boiled cop" story. However from what Yahtzee is saying about over the top and absurd violence... well... he praised pretty much everything he said was wrong with Dead To Rights, in his Just Cause 2 review, or that is how it looks to me.
Having never played this game, I'm wondering if it's some kind of horrible mechanics, making all of this violence boring? Or the fact that I'm guessing it's linear (as opposed to a sandbox game), or what? I mean you can't even say that Rico (from JC-2) is a more realistic character or anything as the entire game is over the top, and the dude can absorb crazy amounts of punishment as well, not to mention defy the laws of physics almost as well as Neo rewriting The Matrix. Rico is pretty much as over-the top macho as a character can get without being Duke Nukem.
It might just be me, I don't expect Yahtzee to be consistant (inconsistancy is arguably part of his charm) but here it just gets me for some reason.

A love song....about Yahtzee?.....Ummmmm...well that being said great video this week and I can wait for Mogworld to come out!
Bah, sounds like Dead to Rights: Retribution is another casual-gamer-targeting brick to reinforce the wall that is keeping the awesome out of the gaming industry.
Re: Rebecca Mayes... genuine inter-office romance or classic celebrity power move? Hard to say.

Celebrity power move by Rebecca surley, but song about Yahtzee... Why do i feel it's just going to be sang in pace of "Im am the very model of a modern Major General"...

"Or should I say: someone dog!" I actually laughed out loud. I haven't done that watching ZP for a while now. It was good : )
Also: With the help of the fanboys/fangirls, the Yahtzee song can be amazing.
(or a referencing sack of s***. Depending on how much common sense Ms. Mayes has in quoting the fanpeople
)
EDIT: I've seen some other reviews of the game. It seems Dead to Rights: Repetetive.
Just sayin'

So, Yahtzee, apparently the only really good thing about Dead to Rights: Retribution was that intending to buy it the other week inadvertantly led you to Nier. That's what I got out of this (and I guess last week's) review. (Or is that Dead to Rights: Review?.... Was that already said?)
Hmm, the figure of the (pro)/(an)tagonist looks a lot like Nathan Drake (Uncharted). /Shrug, I guess this is the problem in games today.
Has anyone else said this review makes the game sound like a Dead to Rights: Rental?
If not, I'm owning that one.
