Dead to Rights settled on bending Hildy here's body so the tops of her thighs and the bottom of her... crotch(?) go inwards. It ain't pretty. It's a whole load of awkward walking animations, and controller-wise, one of the most boring quick-time events in all of gaming.

Now Dead To Rights was a damn fun game; one that took Max Payne's slow-motion dives and added some great meaty melee combat alongside enjoyable levels. But this? Getting the player to arbitrarily push buttons as awkward, wannabe-sexy animations hid a makeshift stealth level?

Let's just say... it hasn't aged well.
