Without all the bullet time effects this game would be standard issue in the graphics dept.

are good.Ĭons: Actual character models are somewhat blocky- this becomes more apparent during cutscenes where these characters try to exude emotion. There's a fantastic array of levels and locales. Pros: Nearly everything is destructible and when stuff starts exploding in slow motion, it's a thing of beauty. Interaction with the Environment can be difficult/frustrating. Deaths can be frustrating because it's due from an enemy spawning in a door behind you with a shotgun, rather than a lack of skill on your part. They pretty much run straight at you and spawn from closets/doors strewn throughout the level. Story is serviceable if a little over the top and out there even for John Woo.Ĭons: Enemies are retarded. Face-Offs are nice gun duels that break up the monotony of running and diving. It's a mix of Max Payne Bullet Time gameplay with some pretty flashy new moves and situations. It definitely does not tread new ground in either story or gameplay, but does a pretty good job fusing familiar elements from all of its influences. Stranglehold is a John Woo game through and through.

Now if your thinking Max Payne yea relatable.but this game does a great job with it and it makes an enjoyable experience. This game has a feature I believe we have seen done once or twice.slow motion.a.k.a 'Tequila Time'. The environments are completly instructable and you can interact with many things to pull of some sweet moves(sliding down rails, sliding across tables, hanging on to chandlers) just to name a few. This game looks great with the unreal engine. You will definatley do some killing, no no you will do a whole shit ton of killing. This game is all out action, balls to the wall. I downloaded the demo 3 weeks before release and I was in just aThat's why it didnt get the full 5 stars. If your someone out there looking just for a good time I would highly recomend stranglehold. I'm a few levels into this game and I must say it is a very exciting game.
