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.

Not even patching can save this game, but it might get it running for some, I can't even patch my copy of the game, it reminds me of the LOST game, a half arsed attempt to cash in on a franchise, atleast in the 5 minutes I played LOST it didn't have the same NPC model showing up 5 times in a FMV sequence, it is interesting how when you shoot people but not killing them they take time to recover and that a lot of the environment is destroyable for instance you can shoot through a wooden wall but that can hardly make up for this sloppy console port, I killed the first boss by hiding behind the bar and shooting him from there and he just stood there firing at the bar and was no challenge at all. All in all this game was a good idea but bad execution, Max Payne beaten with the ugly stick. Midway screwed up.
Patched this game is good

Reviewed by Lawrence from auckland, NZ on November 21st, 2007
This game crashed virtually on launch, i was just going to torrent this one , but thought better of it and did the honest thing and paid cold hard cash for it. Only to be screwed over, no patch or support i get strange graphics followed by a complete system crash. This may be fun on the xbox but game makers need to stop releasing cheap console ports. If i get to play past mission one i will update this review
