Unimatrix Xero Posted September 21, Posted September 21, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options The game plays like a more console-y version of Max Payne , with the emphasis on blowing everything up.
That means the scenery is incredibly destructible, with pottery shards, broken tables, chairs, crockery and plaster flying about all over the place as the bullets zing to and fro. As with most of the good and bad games found in the lands of the cheap, Stranglehold hasn't held up fantastically well as time has gone by, but for a quick blast and a smidgeon of Tequila Time, there's few cheap games out there to beat it.
The game still feels tike it was designed for our pad-wielding drone brothers, but the level of destruction will keep all but the pickiest of action fans entertained for a short while. Remember how Max once described himself as "making like Chow Yun-Fat"? They were of course referring to the gunplay that Payne so consciously aped - but now, almost five years later, that action has been given its own official license. Stranglehold is an official spiritual successor to Hard Boiled, John Woo's magnum opus that saw Mr Yun-Fat massacre hundreds upon hundreds of Chinese gangsters in glorious slow-motion.
We've been praying for a Max Payne 3 , but we're thinking that we might have just been presented with something even better. Using Epic's super-spiff Unreal Engine 3 and boasting a cast comprising of the as yet unannounced Hollywood A-list, this is the new great hope for third-person action. Bring on the symbolic white doves The opening scenes of Hard Boiled took place in a Hong Kong tea shop in which a gun deal went wrong and Tequila took it upon himself to sort out the situation by shooting everyone.
These screens show that levels in Stranglehold follow a similar template. He'll also be able to leap onboard moving objects and run up conveniently-placed railings. This time round, bullet-time is labelled as Tequila Time-something that sounds suspiciously like a Wetherspoons drinks promotion. These days, when he's not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1, words too long. He thinks labradoodles are the best dogs but doesn't get to write about them much.
