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
