Stranglehold is an interesting game. It's average in pretty much every area. Graphics are good, gameplay is sound and most importantly it's fun.
It's wierd, this game is simply shoot, shoot. This makes it repetative in a way. But killing three guys while slying on a food cart in slo-mo never gets old. The annoying thing is that game dosen't have the this and that affect that most 3rd person games have. What I mean is that Uncharted has cover system shooting and platforming. Stranglehold is the same from start to finish. So in a way the short campaign is good for game that would have ran out of gas if it was any longer. The story is tradtional and predictive.The voice acting is solid. And that stranglehold. Simple and addictive fun. "Wait what about the multiplayer?".... Actually, best not mention that.
