John Woo Presents Stranglehold

outofbounds9000's John Woo Presents Stranglehold (PC) review

Wow,a max payne clone.

John Woo's ''Stranglehold'' was not very enjoyable.Its an HUGE ripoff of max payne,i mean the moves and all is just Max payne....MAX FUCKING PAYNE! 
STORY: 
The story is about a guy named Tequila,a chinese agent on way to total max payne breakdown,hehe.The game begins in an explainatory Marketplace,yeah,a MARKETPLACE!,in Hong Kong.And then its about 13 levels or so. 
GAMEPLAY: 
The gameplay is pretty bad.The moves are too max payne,but good i guess,i like max payne so good i guess.and if you get shot 20 times or so,you are FUCKED.Thats right deadly FUCKED.Stranglehold is just not a completion. 
GRAPHICS: 
The graphics are pretty good.The zoom in mode,it looks pretty blury,in most games.....but i just dont like the graphics so much either.John Woo is just not a perfect guy on strategy and gaming.The moves are good though and Tequila time,when you have that on,ITS TIME FOR A MASSACRE! 
SOUND: 
It sucks.Really bad.The music is bad,or wait,it doesn't have a hella soundtrack!The voice acting is fine,but the other sounds,nah ah. 
 
and that is my pretty short review of John Woo's Stranglehold,i hope you enjoyed.

Here is my review of John Woo Presents Stranglehold. 2007 was a great year for video game. More importantly, it was a big year for debuts in the sense of “Best Debut”, that Giantbomb Game of the Year category I miss so dearly. Bioshock us...

It has been a long time since Max Payne 2, and Max Payne 3 is still a while away. In the meantime, we have Stranglehold, a fine action game that matches and in some ways, exceeds the cinematic carnage of the Max Payne series. As action games go, there is little in Stranglehold that you haven't seen before. Its lack of originality is forgivable though, when you consider that it is a successor to Hard Boiled, the Hong Kong action film that largely inspired the Max Payne series and many other games...
