John Woo's aesthetic
gareate game for a his movie fan!

A decent 3rd Person Shooter..
John Woo Presents Stranglehold is a fairly decent 3rd person shoot-em-up game. Produced using the Unreal Engine, so the graphics and presentation are not bad, although look a little dated now.. This game almost reminds of a arcade shooter, with very little plot aside from 'kill all the bad-guys to progress to the next section of the stage'.

I enjoyed the gimic of slow motion 'tequila-time', although it wears a little thin eventually. Also, there is very little range of weapons or enemies. It does have fairly easy achievements too, which is a plus for those chasing Gamerscore

Overall, Id say this is not a bad game for a Sunday afternoon brainless shoot-em-up session. I give it 7/10.

Not Bad
A bit repetitive, but playing as Chow Yuen Fatt is always great!

John Woo rules!
Everyone who likes heroic-bloodshed movies such as Hard Boild, The Killer etc. by John Woo should definitely check out Stranglehold. This game really feels like an action movie.
I first bought it as PC version but on Xbox 360 I liked it even better!

Pretty fun although already looks dated
A pretty good pick up on the cheap because sliding around in this game with the slo-mo and picking off bad guys is a quite different experience from playing your Halo or COD4. Still, I find the game doesn't look so great on the PS3, definitely there are a lot of more attractive FPS games out there.

Good for some light fun when you don't want to think too hard.
