Video Game Reviews of Stranglehold
Customer Review: One word: Intense!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a non-stop action thrill ride from start to finish. They could have titled this game "Run and Gun" and given away the game play. Surprisingly enough this game actually does have a plot. It gives you enough reason to kill the people you need to kill.
It's kinda like a big summer action blockbuster. It won't win any awards, but will keep you entertained throughout. A year after its release the multi-player is almost non-existent.
If you're trying to decide whether to rent this game or buy it, the only reason I can recommend buying it is the price. You probably won't play through this game more than once or twice, and you can beat it in a weekend.
I haven't seen Hard Boiled (Two-Disc Ultimate Edition) but after playing this game I'm definitely going to check it out!
Description of Stranglehold
John Woo Presents: Strangehold continues the story of a classic piece of hard-boiled Hong Kong action -- "Hard Boiled," starring Chow Yun-Fat. Experience a world only previously seen in movies, as you control incredible gun battles and dramatic slow motion in Tequila Time. Stranglehold redefines the action gaming experience with its acrobatic gunplay, thrilling cinematography, frenetic combat and incredible Massive Destructibility (Massive D). Chow Yun-Fat reprises his signature role as Inspector Tequila, pitting gamers as a take no-prisoners cop waging a personal war with Hong Kong crime lords. Tequila's loyalties to the force are tested when his ex-wife is kidnapped by the Russian mob in Chicago. Tequila struggles to balance his duty to uphold the law with doing what it takes to save his family. Carve a unique path of massive destruction and use the environment as a weapon against your enemies. The highly modified Unreal 3.0 engine breathes new life into game environments and characters with stunning graphics & an ever-changing battlegroundAll Games
