Dead to Rights

When playing as Jack, players can perform different moves, such as grabbing an enemy from behind and using them as a human shield, or tossing a fire extinguisher and shooting it, causing a huge explosion. If Jack doesn't have his gun drawn, he can disarm an enemy, which causes him to steal their gun and then perform a finishing move like a neck breaker. Initially, only a few disarm moves are available, but more can be unlocked as the game progresses.

Players will also get to control Jack's best friend and partner, Shadow the K-9 dog. This allows enemies to be killed from a distance, and Shadow will fetch their guns and bring them to Jack.

The game features "adrenaline combat", similar to "Bullet Time" from Max Payne. Jack will perform slow-motion dives and spins, giving him an advantage as long as his adrenaline meter holds out.
