John Woo's ''Stranglehold'' was not very enjoyable.Its an HUGE ripoff of max payne,i mean the moves and all is just Max payne....MAX FUCKING PAYNE! 
STORY: 
The story is about a guy named Tequila,a chinese agent on way to total max payne breakdown,hehe.The game begins in an explainatory Marketplace,yeah,a MARKETPLACE!,in Hong Kong.And then its about 13 levels or so. 
GAMEPLAY: 
The gameplay is pretty bad.The moves are too max payne,but good i guess,i like max payne so good i guess.and if you get shot 20 times or so,you are FUCKED.Thats right deadly FUCKED.Stranglehold is just not a completion. 
GRAPHICS: 
The graphics are pretty good.The zoom in mode,it looks pretty blury,in most games.....but i just dont like the graphics so much either.John Woo is just not a perfect guy on strategy and gaming.The moves are good though and Tequila time,when you have that on,ITS TIME FOR A MASSACRE! 
SOUND: 
It sucks.Really bad.The music is bad,or wait,it doesn't have a hella soundtrack!The voice acting is fine,but the other sounds,nah ah. 
 
and that is my pretty short review of John Woo's Stranglehold,i hope you enjoyed.
