GameSpot reviews Stranglehold for PS3

GameSpot reviews the PlayStation 3 version of Stranglehold. GameSpot says that, for as long as it lasts, Stranglehold delivers a satisfying, if somewhat derivative action game experience.

The Good
* Guns, guns, guns!
* Environments blow apart beautifully
* Tequila's got a good number of effective moves and abilities
* Solid voice acting
* PS3 special edition includes Hard Boiled.

The Bad
* Gameplay does fall into repetition after a while
* Some of the dynamic portions of the environment are more trouble than they're worth
* Short single-player mode
* Multiplayer is weak.

Overall score: 7/10.

Gamespot gave the same score 7/10

to Stranglehold (360) and (PS3) ...

...

Wow I dont believe it .. and I dont even know what to say

DrPirate6037d ago

Hold on a minute....EA games run at 60fps on the 360, while they run at 30fps on the PS3, and get full scores higher...

Then this game, comes with a movie added to it... Faster frames and free online, and it gets the same score?

I don't want to be the purveyor of this whole Gamespot conspiracy theory, but I think even X-Box fans have to ask what the hell's up with that?

jackdoe6037d ago

Why do you care? Stranglehold is a crap game on both consoles. No point in arguing over the point system. If you feel Gamespot is being biased, don't visit their site. Plain as can be.

SofaKingReetodded6037d ago (Edited 6037d ago )

that the PS3 version runs smooth while the 360 one is a framerate dropfest.

aaah I smell the xbot attack coming on, slowdown fanboys I OWN BOTH versions.

vilmer6037d ago

Yet they score the same, that makes sense! Microspot confirmed?

Wii60PS3DSPSP6037d ago

Why the heck would you buy 2 versions of this game?

xplosneer6037d ago

The game with the movie doesn't even get .1 more? nice.

EZCheez6037d ago

This game came out too little, too late. I can't justify buying a game like this when COD4 comes out next week, Assassin's Creed the week after, and then Uncharted in the next week. Far too busy for this game.

BloodySinner6037d ago

Most Midway titles make great rentals but not purchases. I find that really funny.

jackdoe6037d ago

I agree. And all those games are ten times better than Stranglehold, Midway's "AAA" title lol.

PS360WII6037d ago

It's pretty good. You get what you expect and the collecters has the movie in it. I don't usually go for the more expensive one but 10 more dollars for a game and a movie oh yeah.

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

cthulhucultist378d 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

Vengeance1138378d ago

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

Best game based on two movies that were never made goes to robocop vs terminator.

Owlbert488d ago

Did you play RoboCop Vs terminator... pretty sure it was on the mega drive) genisis.

HeliosHex488d ago

Yes played it on genesis for the blood. Snes had a version but I think the blood was censored not sure. I just remember genesis being the go to system for games with blood.

Fishy Fingers1629d ago

Definite lack of Doves in games this gen.

TGG_overlord1629d ago

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

TGG_overlord1629d ago

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

isarai1629d 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_overlord1629d ago

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