when i played the demo of this game i really got excited. i don't know if my anticipation killed it for me or the game was just not enough. it seemed that the bad out weighed the good in this game. the graphics and the sound were defiantly on point in this game. the special moves where really cool but they could have given you a few more in my opinion. the destructible environments were really cool and in my eyes, it was the backbone of stranglehold. slowing down time was fun and very affective in defeating opponents. this game on on paper sounds like a winner but it truly has no replay value (other than achievements). the game is very fun but really short. they could have gone without the side missions in the game, they were pointless and out of place. the multiplayer was terrible. i'm more of a 8 vs 8 guy and this game only offers 6 in a room at once (that's if the host isn't trying to get achievements and starts the game as soon as you get in a room for a 1 vs 1 battle, yeah). the boards are small but not too bad for 6 people. the guns are very ineffective, everyone basically flies around trying to collect cranes so that they can get a special move that will defiantly kill the opponent and there is nothing you can do about it. if you like shot em’ up games this would be a great game to buy but there is know other reason to purchase this game.
