John Woo's Stranglehold

I never played 2.

-AC

It's fun.

Fixed a few problems with the first, and no annoying jumping puzzles and I find that the locations are a bit better.

Man, this game is difficult.

It's the annoying difficult though on where its not your mistake that is the reason for your ****up, but because the developers just like to send millions of guys with heavy machine guns and all you have is a your regular weapons. Oh wait!!, did I just have 15 guys respawn behind me. Yeah, thats right, I just did.

Max Payne on the otherhand did it extremely well on where you have 5 guys running towards you and if you got beat it was because of your fault. This game on the otherhand is just countless and countless of guys going after you.

I'm done with this. It just to ridicolous. I dont have a problem with the difficulty, its just why cant the developers give you an save system on where if you get shot at the very last minute, you have to do the whole thing over again. I sure love quicksave.

If only more games had Quicksave.

Yeah, because that feature hasnt been around for ages.

I wouldnt mind if they did the health system like Max Payne on where you can choose to use the painkillers at your leisure and not have what happens in this game is where your surrounded by enemies that rarely need, or ever need to reload and its impossible to get to an health pack before they shoot you.

At the last level, they can kill you in a few seconds.

How's the Multiplayer?

I just recently got Max Payne 2 on the computer for 9 bucks and absolutly loved it. Much better than the first, especially the facial animation. One of my favourite levels of all time is the funhouse level. Pure fun.

maybe the PC version is different than the PS2 version, but max payne 2 on PS2 was garbage. The story went from exaggerated noir to just exaggeration. The gameplay was consistantly buggy and slow. It felt like a bad demo version for the first max payne. I take it the PC version is much smoother?

The second Max Payne is so good, so its probalby because of the PS2 version of being shit.

But the PC is good.

Just beat Stranglehold last night. It's a good game with ill graphics but i liked Max Payne 1 & 2 better even though this game had more moves it's just that they went a little too overboard with the moves. Max payne had a more realistic element to it.

I hope they come out with pt 3.

Max Payne, that is. And i'll only play it for the PC as well. Nothing can compare with a Hi-Res Max Payne game with a mouse.

Does it worth the money?

Totally not worth the money.

Rented it on Tuesday night, finished it, or almost finished that Wednesday night and I didnt play it during the day.

Rental at best.

Damn......it's so bad that in Hungary we don't have places from where we can rent games.🙁

So you're hungry for rental games..I had to say it. I left then came back to do it, my bad..lol

I played this game and didn't like it at all. The only cool thing, IMO, was the destructible environments.

Yeah, they're pretty neat.

I bought it and regreted it I'm gonna get some achievments then trade it back for something else also I'm pretty disapointed in the multiplayer as well.

Damn. I wish I could trade games i beat in 7 days for a full refund. They'll only exchange the game for the same exact one. That or they'll buy it off you for $30 bucks, half of what you purchased it for less than a week ago.

I've tried other methods but short of getting escorted outta the store for being trying to find loopholes or being creative, as i put it, there's no way around it.

So I'll just trade in "Stranglehold" for the $30 bucks and add it to my Halo 3 reserve.

As for Stranglehold it is the shortest game I ever played on 360 it only has 4-5 hour gameplay which sucks and the game isn't that good to replay it many times so it's a definite trade for me.

Whoa. That "The Death of Superman" DVD finally came out on? Time to pick it up asap.

Stranglehold was hard at times. Like the Ship dock/yard part. I was stuck their for a while. Some of the bosses were kinda hard to but it is a relatively short game (that fat boss gave me the most challenge). And your right, it doesn't have replay value. I did purchase mostly all the movies and the other stuff John Woo sold at his bar and that was ok, but i haven't touched it since i turned it off when i beat it last week.

I played a couple of minutes of it before shutting it off on the newly unlocked "hardboiled" level but it got boring and not that hard at all. Next stop for that game is Gamestop.
