It's like playing in a John Woo movie! Actually, it wasn't a terrible game.The big selling point for this was that you could jump on stuff and slide across while shooting, which is something you see all the time in his movies. At the time I really wanted to play this because Woo's early movies were so kick ass and I thought this would be too.
I wish this game gets remastered and comes to Steam (besides it’s on GOG as an GOG-Exclusive on PC)
Pros:
- Amazing Graphics
- Badass Gunplay
- Great Bullet Time Mechanics
- Directed by John Woo (director behind Face/Off)
- Came out in 2007 to where the original CoD4 MW & Halo 3 were born
- Cool weapons (and it’s dual wielding)
- the sliding mechanics cooks very good in this game
Cons:
- the DRM used in the PC version which GOG has thankfully Fixed it in their 2019 re-release
- Cutscene quality can be cheesy unlike most mid-2000s xbox360 games
- PC version also lacked the Map Pack DLC which is an console-exclusive DLC for $14 on the XBLA Marketplace (best is to buy it before the XBLA marketplace closes)
Verdict:
Stranglehold is a game that does a very great job on being the brother of Max Payne and making the entire 7th gen xbox360 an special place to its heart
9.6/10
Bullet time is so cool.
Chow Yun-fat + história chinesa padrão sessão da tarde + Max Payne gameplay = Diversão
Jogar esse jogo no teclado e mouse a 144fps é extremamente divertido e satisfatório, frenético do início ao fim.

This game starts absolutely bonkers but it gets real boring after you complete your first hour in game. Then you come across with same shit back to back to back.
