If you've ever watched Hard Boiled or any of Chow Yun-fat's classic action thrillers, this is basically that but in video game form. There's tons of slow motion bullet time to hammer home just how badass you are as you pick off waves of thugs, and there are tons of banisters and chandeliers for you to do cool trick shots off of. There's even a level where you can belly flop onto a moving cart to replicate the classic scene from Hard Boiled while mowing down your foes. Anyways, this is a short but sweet hidden gem and is most definitely not perfect (boss fights can be pretty easily cheesed, enemies can be a bit stubborn to die at times, physics can be a bit strange, etc), but it's classic distilled John Woo with over the top violence and tons of guns and explosions, and if you're a fan of goofy and wild gun fu, this is absolutely a must play.
