Bottom line the story is hot but, the game play is wack...you should just get a John Woo movie and watch that....Face off any oneb

It could've been better. Overall inferior to max payne... Shoot first, think later gameplay... The opening chapter really captures the John Woo experience. Sadly, dialogue in this game is laughable like all John Woo english dub films. Watching the collector's edition Hard Boiled and playing the game makes you want more than what the game offers. With games like Max Payne around, this game offers nothing. Just John Woo settings and Chow Fat. It does have "awesome" moments, like the first time you are in a stand off or shooting a bad guy in the crouch with pin-point accuracy.… Expand

i have been waiting a long time and will be really ticked off if this game is rated M. it should sooo be rated T because it has been on my top to play list and the game i have been dieing to play. i saw a gameplay demo 4 it and it looked like a T game so im pretty confident.Please be T! i already love this game

I love this game. It's like being in an action movie and the Matrix like fight scenes are great. It's a unique game that has simple controls, a destructible environment and a John Woo one of a kind setting. No the graphics are not top notch, buy have you ever seen cigarette smoke look so cool in a game before? If you're the type that wants top notch graphics and can';t stand a quirk or two, look elsewhere. Otherwise you owe it to yourself to check out this gem by John Woo. Get the Collectors Edition and you get the movie Hardboiled to boot. Must have for the PS3.… Expand

the game is ok and the action is varied and over the top which makes it kinda fun but the camera angles are terrible!!! it can be difficult to sometimes see where your supposed to go next and youll find yourself wandering around aimlessly.. after a while it got so frustrating for me i gave up on the game and went back to devil may cry...worth the rental but its not worth buying even though ive seen it go as cheap as 25.99… Expand

this should tottaly be T or ill be pissed off. this looks so awsome and iv really been diying to play it and im not allowed to play M so yah. This has been on my top priority list to besieds sm3 and halo3. Me and all of my friends in japan have been waitin 4 this chance and have been dying to play this game that should totally be rated T and NOT M. i know im reapeating alot of stuff but thats how bad i have been wanting to play this game!!!!!!!!! I know that youre waisting time on my letter and satopped reading this half way through but i really loove this game an shoul completly be rated T.… Expand

The story revels in how ridiculous John Woo cinema is. Within the first two minutes your role as the renegade cop on the EDGE is established. How does the gameplay hold up? The game's emphasis on using the environment makes it feel rather imersive. Using the environment to kill enemies instead of just shooting them gets bonus points and requires you to think differently than the usual FPS. Killing guys in a stylish manner rewards far more than efficiency. In fact crazy stylish bullshit becomes the most efficient. This is such a breath of fresh air for the FPS scene.… Expand

I rented Stranglehold a while back and the game was fairly decent. The game itself was pretty addicting, good old fashioned crazy shoot-outs. There were lots of explosions, which is always good for my destructive habits. Then you get to the cut-scenes, oh dear god, the cut-scenes. I have to give them credit for the authentic engrish of the main character, but other than that the voices seemed way off for the characters. It became a bit too difficult within time and well, it became a bit repetitive. All in all, I'd have to say this was only a rent for me.… Expand
