Good game, still hold up! Great gameplay! Fun!

Honestly, if you're a fan of any Jon Woo stuff, like Face/Off or Hard Boiled, you'll get a kick out of this. Fun gameplay throughout, don't think about it too seriously, and enjoy it on easy or medium.

The graphics are a bit dated, but if you can forgive that given the age of the game it is the most exciting, fun shooter I have ever played. Others have compared it to Max Payne 2, and I would strongly agree that it is very similar. Lots of slowmo-supported combat, with extra points for stylish kills (given the age of the game, it is amazing how you can interact with various objects found throughout the game world). A good example would be trollies - jump forward with the slowmo-enabling jump button, and land on the trolly and you'll get extra points for every baddy killed while the trolly remains in motion. Fun stuff. would give it even more than five stars if I could.

This game is oozing with action. It makes me want to go to watch John Woo movies all over again. As other reviews mention it, it is Max Payne in terms of gameplay, but not in terms of story. In terms of story, it's a classic 90's Hong Kong action movie. Its simple short plot that gives you that action-movie adrenaline buzz. Cheap as well.

I love the game, but it can be a little difficult to control, but I will chalk that up to just it being an old game
