Sweet while it lasts but not worth full price.

User Rating: 7 | Stranglehold X360
Stranglehold is one of these games that is so unrealistic but great fun at the same time. For example you will blast 10 shotgun rounds into a boss without his health moving more than a cm but at the same time being able to launch your character around the room firing hundreds of bullets at your enemies is great fun. The time special moves add but more unrealistic fun into the game by allowing you to dive at your enemies in slow motion while keeping your finger on the right trigger.

The game will keep you occupied for a while, probably until you complete the story mode but then there is nothing that is likely to tempt you back into the game. You are able to play through the story on both hard and "hard boiled" mode but I wasn't tempted to play through it again. The multiplayer options are weak and you will find a scarce amount of people currently online. The multiplayer simply uses the current gameplay but against other opponents. The only feature of the game that tempted me back was to gain a couple more achievements, which simply required you to use different special moves to eliminate your opponents but after I acquired them I traded the game in.

Overall the game was good hectic fun while it lasted but it definitely isn't worth more than £10-£15.
