Stranglehold

Fun, but certainly not revolutionary.

This game is fun. I enjoy Chow Yun Fat and the story is good, if a little too predictable. The weapons are good but, not a lot of surprises. The graphics are not good for next gen consoles. It's odd, sometimes they appear really good, but then you look again, and they're not. In fact, while playing for too long, I start to feel nausious. Not good for a game, and not something I've felt in a game since Hexen.

This is an okay game that is best rented. It does fill time in between blockbuster games, and there are some good things in it, but really not worth a buy.
