Video Game Reviews of Stranglehold
Customer Review: A GREAT GAME THAT BRINGS TRUE STYLE TO SHOOTERS
Summary: 4 Stars
There are a number of great FPS and TPS coming out this season (CRYSIS, CALL OF DUTY 4 and UNREAL TOURNAMENT 3 - just to name a few). Advanced graphics, new weapons, excellent gameplay, new ideas...all true. However, NONE HAS HALF THE STYLE OF STRANGLEHOLD!
This game is getting the bum wrap all over - for reasons unfathomable. From gaming magazines (I guess they have to rate some games badly to balance out giving the likes of BIOSHOCK full marks...) to gaming sites, the reviews STRANGLEHOLD gets seem to be written by people that have not played the game more than 20 minutes.
Sure, this is a game that takes up almost 13GB of your HDD and it yet runs for about 9-10 hours. Sure, if sports checkpoints (a cheap trick of game developers to artificially augment the game's length by having us replaying the same segments over and over). That is where it looses the 5th star. But the game IS FUN!
When was the last time that you had REAL FUN with a shooter? Dive-shoot in the rain, dodge bullets while sliding on table-tops or cat-walk up a stairs balustrade and pick out the bad guys one by one...And you get to do all these IN STYLE! Yes, this is the best TPS since MAX PAYNE!
Remember the movie THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS? Well, this is the game equivalent - and it is GREAT!
RECOMMENDED!
Description of Stranglehold
This "spiritual sequel" to John Woo's action film Hard Boiled redefines the action gaming experience. John Woo Presents Stranglehold brings you 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. This time around, Tequila's loyalties to the force are tested when his ex-wife is kidnapped by the Russian mob in Chicago. He'll have to balance his duty to uphold the law with doing what it takes to save his family.Shooter Games
