Stranglehold

Recommend purchasing at a discount! Similar to and paying tribute to the game "Max Payne", the total process is 4.5 hours, and the smooth action experience and shooting feel can make you spend a pleasant day. The strong Hong Kong film atmosphere in the background (and indeed there are movies with the same name) may be one of the games you cannot miss on GOG.

Game Is Cool Nostalgia Thanks Gog :)

I dont know why people would pay 80$ for a modern release when you can pay 2$ for john woo's stranglehold.

How many games offer you to control Chow Yun-Fat ? Only this one ! Sequel to the Hard Boiled John Who movie, this game was an impressive Max Payne clone at the time. Like in the film, inspector Tequila is ready to shoot anywhere, anytime. But there is no babies, this time, its personal. The story is quite cool, the dialogues... This is is full of quotes like "What happened, in the past you where the guy who could risk his life" or other typical cheesy quotes as "Tequila, if you pass the door, you'll be fired ! DAMN YOU TEQUILAAAAA !" and some weird moments like a girl taking a shot then being happy a moment later, like if nothing happened. To do incredible Chow Yun-fat moves , press space bar on white tracks and do the ride ! ...But only if you are on the good position, then the game will allow to jump on the ramp,lantern or cart. Gravity ? Who cares ! Find origamis to load up 1 of the 4 powers : Healing, focus shooting,frantic shooting, john who stylish move to clean area. There's some flaws that are really anoying. This port don't have modern screen resolutions like 1440p or greater, Detection of white gun fu zones are sometimes badly detected, dubbing is sometimes out of time. Bonus are not about the game making, only Midway games. Would have loved to be able to do the famous backslide on ramp while shooting too. :D Overall its a great old game with some cheesy 90's Honk Kong actioners movies feels, there's a good amount challenge. Count 5-6 hours for a difficult run. Hard mode is tought (except some bosses that you can rush with headshots) and there's a new game plus mode : Hard Boiled Difficulty.

This is a fairly jank corridor shooter that definitely puts style over substance. The core gameplay is pretty fun but can be surprisingly difficult at times as the later levels have some mega bullet sponges and you can die very fast. The game tries a couple of interesting things and manages to remain entertaining even with its very basic levels. It's short, it's cheap, why not check it out? Don't forget the FOV mod in the forums!
