Stranglehold Review: 4/5 from GamePro

The iconic Inspector Tequila, as portrayed by Chow Yun Fat, is back in this video game sequel to John Woo's 1992 Hong Kong action classic, Hard Boiled, and the intervening years haven't done much to soften his penchant for shooting stuff up.

Well, great scores so far. 8.1 from IGN and 8 from GP. Not bad at all.

JPomper6081d ago

Seriously. It's a shame that to a lot of gamers today a game gets sh!t on if it's not f#ckin' perfect.

Wait, I take that back... it gets sh!t on regardless.

Anyhow Starting good, Lets wait from EGM, since they have become the deal breaker of every game. lol

Let's see they pissed on Lair and HS, as well as Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata, but yet they work for MS.

Maybe EGM is just critical this GEN. How do you gain respect for a reviewer , if they do nothing but give game 10's and praises?

Remember gamers, it is the concensus of all reviews, is here you get the better score. This game looking good so far on the consensus it keeps up these scores.

The Real Joker6081d ago

With all of the games releasing this Fall (all systems), I just don't have time for this one. I downloaded the demo and I was not that impressed and to be honest I was really looking forward to it also. This might be one for the bargain bin for me.

TheWiseguy6081d ago

Am i the only one that DIDNT like the stranglehold demo? Just seemed average at best

BLACKJACK VII6081d ago

Nope. I didn't care for it either. Most unimpressive.

InMyOpinion6081d ago (Edited 6081d ago )

I played it through a couple of times. Although I liked it from the beginning, it gets better and better. Hard to judge a game from half a level really. I wanna try the final version before I lay my verdict.

Btw, am I the only one who really liked the MOH demo? =)

borgome6081d ago

I admit it had some good idea's, but the gameplay was to repetative for my liking. After playing games as good as RE4, GOW, GRAW and now BioShock its pretty hard to impress me.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

cthulhucultist364d ago

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot

Fishy Fingers1614d ago

Definite lack of Doves in games this gen.

TGG_overlord1614d ago

True that...Good thing that I still got the whole "Max Payne" series in my game collection.

TGG_overlord1614d ago

With no doubt, so this release sure made my day.

isarai1614d ago

Hmm, the thought of playing this through HDMI on my 4K TV through my rig sounds worth another playthrough of this gem. Especially at $10.

TGG_overlord1614d ago

I don't have a 4K tv or monitor I'm afraid :S But I'm going to pick up the game anyways ;)
