Product Description
Acclaimed action director John Woo presents Stranglehold, a stunning 3rd-person action adventure videogame for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. A “spiritual sequel” to Woo’s action masterpiece, “Hard Boiled,” 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.
Features:
- Stranglehold allows gamers to play a John Woodirected action blockbuster movie. dual-wielding,stunt-laden gunplay combined with massive destructible environments ensures that Stranglehold will be a true tour-de-force. The environmental interactivity and two-fisted gunplay all come online, bringing the experience to a whole new level.
- Gamers will experience smooth flowing gameplay, such as running up railings, swinging on chandeliers and leaping onto moving objects, all without interrupting intense gun battles.
- Featuring the cinematic flare of acclaimed action director John Woo, Stranglehold will also benefit from Woo’s direction on storyline, camera placement and cutscenes. Starring international action-star Chow Yun-Fat as Inspector Tequila, the game’s cast is also comprised of other A-list Hollywood talent.
- The innovative physics engine will provide gamers with an unprecedented level of interactivity. With two huge areas to explore (Chicago and Hong Kong), the interactions will be infinite with each level offering massive amounts of destructibility.
- Stranglehold’s inventive combat camera and Tequila Time™ slow-motion system allow players to simultaneously aim and shoot at the current target while driving, providing for robust gunplay combat between vehicles.
- Using a highly modified version of the Unreal 3.0 engine integrated with the Havok physics system, Stranglehold will breathe new life into game environments and characters with stunning graphics, and feature an ever-changing battleground depending on how players approach different scenarios.

Grabs you by the throat.
Reviewed by Pete from Auckland, NZ on October 30th, 2007
Not usually one for first person shooters, I thought I'd give this one a look. An hour later, I managed to put it down, so much for 5 min try. Stranglehold, grabbed me by the throat and pulled me in, had me doing just one more level, after level :)
I found the slow motion an interesting touch, haven't played any past games with it in, but found it easy to get used to.
Great amount of action, giving greater rewards for doing fancy moves while blowing a hole in the forehead of the foe.
Very playable.
Amazing... Just Amazing
 Reviewed by Grant from Palmerston Otago, NZ on October 11th, 2007
I bought this game while in Australia, and had to wait a week to play it.
And well worth wait.
Although extremely short, with a small 7 stages.... but pretty long. This game is just... amazing to play. A chinese cop, with amazing agility smashing his way with Massive Destruction through Chicago and Hong Kong, blasting everyone with dual pistols, shotguns, machine guns and rocket launchers.
John Woo's Stranglehold has easily lived upto its expectations. And whats better than having HardBoiled's original Chow Yun Fat to play the part of Tequila.
A must buy for PS3 and 360.
Its Tequilla Time!
Reviewed by Rich from Timaru, NZ on September 5th, 2007
I will admit to having been skeptical of Stranglehold - As much as the subject matter appeals to me I worried that the game would fall short of expectation.
Now that I have played the Demo on XBL, I can safely say that my fears have been allayed - I cant wait to slow motion dive into the full game, and am keen to check out the multiplayer!
Its a bit sad that it comes out a couple of days after THAT game... you know the one... something about a "master chef" - I hope that this game does not get ignored in the furore surrounding other releases.
