John Woo Presents Stranglehold (Xbox 360)

I like the fighting move of the character and the gun action. What I dislike the camera movement but it a good game.

Fast ship and like new for half the retail price! Don't hesitate to order from this ebayer. A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1 A1

This game is really great, because it is not another first person shooter. it's a third person one that takes you directly into the "hard boiled" action, letting the game perform a variety of maneuvers, interactions and special moves.

Personally, I'm having a lot of fun with it, because shooting with style is just so nice and not to mention the fact that you can slow time "a la Matrix" in the game with a move called "Tequila Time".

I decided to buy it because it was on sale and I really wanted that game a long time ago. I strongly recommend it, I know there's Halo 3 and GTA IV out there, but it's a very fun game to play.

A movie that plays like a game. Nice graphics, But controls a little loose. Definitely pick this up if you like action games. Lot's of action.Picks up where Hard-Boiled left off.I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10.

Very interesting and action filled game that will for sure catch the eye of many gamers and their action adventured fantasies.

the graphics and gameplay for this game are stunning. The tequila mode is phenominal This is a must have for anyone who is a fan of action shooters.

well number 1 thing that i like is that i got it for cheap from a great seller in excellent conditions where if u go to a regular store u wont paid what i paid for this game on store u paid like 45 i got it for 25 so u tell me a good deal.........

I bought John Woo's Stranglehold for the xbox360 turns out to be a crappy game but thats not the sellers fault. Great seller good prices fast shipping I mean what else is there cuz i dont know. product was actually as close to new a used game could get!

Stranglehold is a shoot 'em up that is somewhat a sequel to the classic John Woo film Hard Boiled. The story isn't much, but the shooting action more than makes up for it, as is expected from a John Woo production. Chow Yun-Fat reprises his role as Inspector Tequila and proceeds to shoot every bad guy in his path using the signature Woo dual wielding pistol technique. Other features include Tequila Bomb techniques such as Precision Aim and Barrage, and Tequila Time where time is slowed down allowing players to shoot enemies more precisely and earn style points. A definite recommendation, if you're looking to simply shoot enemies and blow things up, Stranglehold is for you.

If you love any of John Woo's films you will especially love Stranglehold. This game is a sequel to the hardcore action film Hard-Boiled with Chow Yun-Fat, who plays Inspector Tequila Yuen, a heavy-duty, hard-boiled cop in Hong Kong.

In this game you, the player, get to play through the storyline as Tequila, voiced over and modeled after Chow Yun-Fat himself. As Tequila, you get to pull off many of the signature moves in many of John Woo's films - the two-handed gunfights, the standoffs, and the slow-motion spins and dives, to name a few. Did I also mention that you can destroy practically everything in the game? Woo-hoo! If your home entertainment system is really nice, the explosions in the game will really shake up your living room!

This game is rated M for mature, though, so don't let your kids see you playing this.

This is definately a must have for all serious Chow Yun Fat fans and for those who like to have some fun,especially online multiplayer.It's alot of fun just going around the boards and shooting.Especially as Chow Yun Fat.This game ia a continuation of his movie Hardboiled(which is a must have movie by the way),where he plays the role of Tequila.XBOX has just added some downloadable maps and character skins for this game(ten boards and 20 character skins),which makes it more fun,fun,fun.I love the graphics,and the destroyable backgrounds,demolish tons of stuff!I love this gane!!!!!

This was a good game but it dissappointed me a little. The graphics weren't quite what I expected. Too much of repetitive shooting in this game also. Overall I would give this game a 7.5 out of 10.

I bought this game on Nov 6, 2007- paid for it immediately- and never received any communication from the seller besides he said my check would clear on the 13th- the money was taken out of my account and I never received the game. I am currently disputing the payment with pay pal- hopefully I will get my money back. This is the second time I have been scammed on ebay and I do not believe I will use ebay again.

Stranglehold is a John Woo game through and through. It definitely does not tread new ground in either story or gameplay, but does a pretty good job fusing familiar elements from all of its influences.

Gameplay: 8/10
Pros: The gameplay is just plain fun. It's a mix of Max Payne Bullet Time gameplay with some pretty flashy new moves and situations. Face-Offs are nice gun duels that break up the monotony of running and diving. Story is serviceable if a little over the top and out there even for John Woo.
Cons: Enemies are retarded. They pretty much run straight at you and spawn from closets/doors strewn throughout the level. Deaths can be frustrating because it's due from an enemy spawning in a door behind you with a shotgun, rather than a lack of skill on your part. Interaction with the Environment can be difficult/frustrating.

Graphics: 8/10
Pros: Nearly everything is destructible and when stuff starts exploding in slow motion, it's a thing of beauty. There's a fantastic array of levels and locales. Animations, bullet effects, etc. are good.
Cons: Actual character models are somewhat blocky- this becomes more apparent during cutscenes where these characters try to exude emotion. Without all the bullet time effects this game would be standard issue in the graphics dept.

Sound/Music: 8/10
Pros: Voice Acting is top-notch and the visceral sound effects and music from Woo's movies make it into the game.
Cons: It would be nice to have the option of having the more authentic Cantonese or Mandarin soundtrack since the game take place mostly in Asia, but because of the English...it sometimes feels like they are just in some US City Chinatown. It detracts from the authenticity of the story.

Lasting Appeal: 6/10
Pros: The single player experience is a nice ride while it lasts, Multiplayer and unlockables give you incentive to pop the disk back in for more.
Cons: The Multiplayer is action packed, but requires little skill and is completely forgettable. The single player game can be beaten in a few days making this a great rental, but a questionable purchase.

Average: 75.00%
Tilt: +/- 0.00%

For a licensed game, Stranglehold definitely delivers on its promise for John Woo style action. The super moves are flashy, and interacting with the environment (firing while riding roll carts/hanging from chandeliers/etc.) is great fun. If you've played Max Payne, you've got the basic controls/gameplay down, but Stranglehold gives you a lot of new wrinkles which keep you playing. It suffers in the replayability category, but is a fantastic rental. If you download the demo and love the gameplay than a purchase is probably the right decision for you, but otherwise save your bucks for something else.

Verdict: 75%

I love the tequila time feature. Feels like im back in max payne which were some good times. The tequils bombs are also pretty fun to especially precision aim. The graphics are really good, and the environments are awesome. The games not that long but is still one of my favorites. Ive experianced no problems on xbox live and I love it so I dont konw what other people are talking about.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME! FINALLY A SHOOTER GAME WHERE ITS FUN TO SHOOT. TONS
OF MOVES AND UPGRADES. HAVEN'T HAD THIS MUCH FUN SINCE MAX PAYNE!

I just had to preorder this game, and I must say...WOW!! It took me exactly 7 hours, 48 minutes to beat this game on the normal difficulty. Becuase they made this game a bit shorter than some of the other popular titles out there, they managed to raise the quality by quite a bit!! This game deserves at least a 9/10 stars. Seriously... Shooting literally thousands of people really shouldn't be this fun!! RECOMMENDED

A lot of people seem to not like the game. I agree that multiplayer is a little bad, but come on, Tequilla time and Gun shooting showdown? That is totally original to me. The soundtrack is pretty good too.

What impress me the most is when you go berserk mode with a shotgun. You literally tear down mobs and the environment. Watch it go!

For all you max Payne, john woo, chow Yun fat fans, this is a must buy.


My only regret with this game is that they should have made Chow Yun Fat Speak in Cantonese! Why do they have to make him speak English!!

I watched previews for this game read all kinds of info and waited from the day it was delayed for another 10 days, after all I had saw I thought this game would be totally awesome. The graphics are excellent, the game play is fun but..theres not much to it, shoot, shoot, and shoot some more, dive, slide and shoot. After about 30 minutes of play time I noticed how repetitive the game is. You dont even have to reload your weapons, the guns have a limited ammount of ammo such as the shotgun can only hold 12 bullets. It has some cool things like the zoom aim and u watch the bullets travel all the way to its target which is cool, you got "Tequila Time"(slow motion) which comes on automatically whenever you are diving and aiming at a enemy or can be turned on manually. All in all this is a fun game but for a very short time, the multiplayer is horrible. I give it a 3.5 out of 5!!

the demo was sick it was hands down best physics. the game is really cool because instead of being like a challenge it is more like something to take all of your stress out on. if you come back from school or work and want to blow some stuff up, go for it! i think this game is like a mix between mercenaries, the matrix, and a slight very slight flavor of gears. it is unique. buy it.
