    Horrible super linear boring shooter. This gameplay is probably something better left to the old arcade machines. Uninstalled after 1 1/2 hours.

    Very nice graphics. Very weak gameplay - repetetive. So after 1h of playing it starts to get boring, but after 3h you just uninstall the game.

    It might be a little bland as idea for a game, but personally i just love the gameplay and the soundtrack. The story is very similar to a steven seagal-like movie, but it's also true that those kind of movies works if put in a good way. Also i really enjoyed it because it reminds me of Max Payne, one of the best 3rd person shooter ever created.

    There are plenty of "Oh my God" moments and just enough challenge to sustain anyone's interest from start to finish.
  2. For as long as it lasts, Stranglehold delivers a satisfying, if somewhat derivative action game experience.
  3. What this game is about is mayhem, destruction and style, all of which it has in bag loads. It doesn't have the most original gameplay, nor is it the most sophisticated game of this type, but it is essentially an officially licensed John Woo game, doing what a lot of wannabe John Woo games have been doing for a few years now.
