Righteous Kill Review - PC

What do a 4 foot criminal and the start of this review have in common? They’re both a little suspect… (Groan - Ed.). I thought it might be an idea to start this look at Righteous Kill with a light-hearted joke. Why? I simply have no idea, but then we are talking about a game based on finding killers and bad people and as it’s based on the recent movie, we’re gonna be roaming around as Mr Pacino and Mr De Niro, right?

Nope. Strike one, the first thing missing from the game, namely the two main cops of the piece. Instead you play Officer Erica Dean who is drafted in to help her superior create a vigilante task force. Your first scumbag that you need to take care of is a guy called Terry Collins who has been going around killing and all the usual things that homicidal types do.

In order to get the clues you need to put him behind bars you need to locate numerous items hidden in very messy public areas like parks and street corners, although how they get in the state you see them is beyond me. People who were looking for a point’n’click title or an action adventure game will be let down, as it’s ACTUALLY a puzzler in the same kind of style as Pandora’s Box, a game Microsoft released ages ago when Windows 95 was still a big thing.
