Dead to Rights: Retribution, is a ground-up reinvention of the crime action series developed by Volatile Games. The title thrusts players into a mature neo-noir crime drama as hard-boiled vice cop Jack Slate and his trusted canine ally Shadow. The video provides a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the original musical score for the game, at Abbey Road Studios in the UK. Audio Manager Matt Black guides this latest dev diary, discussing his inspiration and direction for producing a score that complements the noir-inspired setting and gritty characters in the game.

Dead to Rights: Retribution introduces new gameplay elements that attempt to unify the third person shooting and brawling genres for a brutal and relentless action-driven experience. The game will be available sometime this year for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
