Not great, only worth playing if you are an achievement junkie
I've played this game for a few hours, and all i got out of it was a headache, similar to the one i had when i played Sonic Adventure. I can desribe the headache as "sezuire experiencing", which is never good. Once y... Read Full Review

Storyline is a Max Payne Rip Off
When I first started playing this game, I noticed how it resembled "Max Payne". For instance, in both games you get to play a Detective who's family has been murdered, and now it is up to you to take revenge. Time also s... Read Full Review

Criminally underappreciated, one of the best games of a new generation, sets the REVOLUTIONARY standards yet to follow.
Stranglehold is a masterpiece of a new generation. The graphics are wonderful - they are sharp, detailed, beautiful to look at and very stylish. 2007's Stranglehold surpasses visually most of what's coming out in 2010! T... Read Full Review

This is the greatest in the genre since the original Max Payne.
I was a big fan of Hard Boiled, so when I saw this game I thought it was going to be one of those half-tailed games like Wanted: Weapons of Fate. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this game. Graphics are great,... Read Full Review

It has it's (big) issues, but Stranglehold still is a twitchy, fast-paced game for gamers who want an adrenaline rush!
John Woo is a movie director well known for his work on Paycheck and Face/Off, both are great movies filled with action, big explosions and snappy dialogues. To be honest, he is one of my favorite directors. Let me pu... Read Full Review

If you've played Max Payne, this will come across as a very poor and embarrassing rip off
I gave up my hopes for quality in this game midway through level 1 when a cutscene popped up with this Tequila character you play... he's surrounded by triads and they TELL HIM where he should look next if he wants to pu... Read Full Review

Nothing special here just the usual shooter
Ok now in looking at the box you know who is responsible for this game. Its a game based on a john woo movie starring chow yun-fat. You play the character from that movie as his story continues. This game is basically a ... Read Full Review

Still trying to figure out what developers were doing when they gave a character the name TEQUILLA.
It's not the kind of game that will give you enough reasons to play it after you finish it, but its a quite decent third person shooter. Graphics are not surprising but are not poor, though. I didn't get why this game... Read Full Review

Awful, just awful....
I bought Stranglehold after finding it online for under a tenner so I thought it could turn out to be a bargain, however that was before I played it. I managed to play this title for at least ten minutes before the terri... Read Full Review
