John Woo's Stranglehold

If you want a game with a cliche storyline good run and gunning.. get Halo. If you want a game with a cliche storyline and great, innovative run and gunning, I'd advise this game.

The basic plot of the game is that you're a hard-loose cannon cop who's trying to put down a Russian crime syndicate. You name is Tequila.

it has a lot of Matrix-esque slow-mo shooting and stuff. The graphics ain't bad and there's an assload of killing. You get special points for "stylish killings" (I.E., killing five guys with head shots while sliding down a staircase railing in Slow motion.), which you can use to either heal yourself or use a special ability.

This game looks awesome. I downloaded the demo and it's fecking fun.

😐

Wrong fvcking forum ftw.

Dunno how the hell I ended up here.

The demo was great.

Demo was great, but there is no way this game is innovating at all.

It takes completely from Max Payne, and improves the formula. Nothing wrong with that, the demo was great, but no way this game is innovating.

Agreed completely.

Your mother.

Dont get me wrong.

This game looks like a hell alot of fun.

I'm just joking.

Is there any martial arts or is it all gunplay? Looks ok but I think I'd get bored..

It's like Diehard.. except with Asians.

Or its like Hard Boiled.

.. or that. I call Tequila Jing-jang Mclain, 'cause I'm stupid like that.

I just got to try the 360 demo.

I must say I am kinda disappointed. Everything just felt waay too easy. Silly how it is so much easier to aim when sliding down a handrail or jumping through the air then when standing still.

Also the Standoffs were also silly in my mind, they should have been event that would have been impossible to do in normal run and gun mode, but the two standoffs in the demo I could have easily managed by running and gunning.

However the game did seem kinda fun when I was running through the mission doing cool jumps and shooting everywhere. But absolutely not a game worth buying, ok to have the demo to spend 10min a month trying it.

What difficulty did you do it on?

Definitly a rent.

Your concerns are warrented. The standoffs I enjoyed. It brought something different the Max Payne genre of games. I also think its a big part of the movie. (I could be wrong about this).

I enjoyed it. I like how easy it was to shoot people. In the movies, Det Tequila is an unstoppable force and the game portrays that. Dont get me wrong, I played it on the medium difficulty and I was hit alot.

I got slaughtered on medium difficulty 😬

I'll give it another go at the hardest difficulty (I didn't notice any difficulty simply kept pressing A until the game started).

And sure the Standoffs were fun as they were something different, but they didn't fit into the game. I see no reason for Tequila to start a Standoff, just dive and shoot them all.

I think the MP of this game could be REALLY fun.
