- Hyper-Stylized Action: Stranglehold allows gamers to play a John Woo directed 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.
- Amazing Gunplay & Stunts: 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.
- Blockbuster Hollywood Talent: 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.
- Ground-Breaking Technology: Massive D, 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.
- Innovative Tequila Time Mechanics: 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.
- Unreal 3.0 & Havok: 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.
Acclaimed action director John Woo presents Stranglehold, a stunning 3rd-person action adventure videogame. 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.

i got this today...not expectingm uch, but i was totally blown away!
although the camera angle is too close, some enviroments can get a bit claustrophobic in gun fights, its a good game! the levels are reasonbly linear, and quite short, except the 2nd. There arent many weapon choices, and you cant really carry much ammo...
tequila time is fun, and lsiding down rails shooting dudes is pretty fun
graphics and sound are pretty average...
and thats all i have to say about that!
:D

Short but sweet i can only say about stranglehold the amazing gameplay and amazin character models make this a worthy purchase. Now this game i waited for a long time just looked like a better version of max payne. And i played it and it is great now chow yun fat being in a game is very weird becauase he is an actor but the style chow yun fat has got is put well together in this game. Definetley a must own for chow yun fat fans and stylish action.
Good But Unfortunately Short

Great game with none stop action and a good story line the whole way through I like how they have made it like a film to. The shooting and different destructive attacks are very cool and the online play is very entertaining. The only reason I have not given this game 5* is because it is very short but £25 is a good price so if you do not have this game buy now.
