Description


John Woo Presents Stranglehold stars martial arts star Chow Yun-Fat as Inspector Tequila, a detective in Hong Kong's police force who is traveling the globe in search of his kidnapped daughter.

The game features a single-player story mode in which players take the role of Tequila and fight their way through cities such as Hong Kong and Chicago to locate the missing child who is held captive by mafia members and gangsters.

Players will have the opportunity to earn style points by performing such moves as running up banisters while shooting and when enough points are acquired gamers can execute moves that include the "Tequila Bomb" or enter "Tequila Time." "Tequila Time" is a sequence during a gunfight when enemies are slowed down while players maintain their speed, making it easier to hit enemy targets.

Actiongame deluxe!

"Stranglehold" is an arcade-like shooter, or third-person-shooter, that focuses on damn great bullethell shootouts! And that's all this game needs to be as entertaining as hell. Because every of the worked out details of the game work perfectly well, and navigating Chow Yun-Fat through the levels, that are full of destructible objects and scenery, couldn't have been more fun. Only thing equally entertaining is watching the movie!

Hard Boiled part 2

John Woo and Chow Yun Fat's final collaboration. Absolute certified kino. The game has the right idea about how the gameplay should flow. No bs and no filler, just pure action.
