In many ways this game is better than Max Payne. You can swing from chandeliers, shoot assailants while rolling on carts, slide on banisters, in addition to doing the famous dive which John Woo, the maestro of action, practically invented. Remember before Max Payne and The Matrix there was Hard Boiled, The Killer, and Hard Target. Stranglehold is a must buy for action junkies and John Woo fans
