Game Play: Stranglehold Demo

To be honest, Stranglehold isn't a perfect game. There's flaws inherit in the design and you will feel them - but like the title suggests, the game might grip you. Here's why.

- It has Chow Yun Fat.
- It's like Max Payne if someone stopped annoying you with time limits.
- It has Chow Yun Fat.
- It's like someone tried to make a Chow Yun Fat hard boiled action film into a game. Did it succeed entirely? Who the hell cares??? Someone tried to make a Chow Yun Fat hard boiled action film into a game??? Are you nuts? Even a failure would be fun to watch here.
- It's not a failure. It's not a home run, but it tries and it tries with heart. Conceivably it would be one of the best Hong Kong Action Films put to game to date, but it really is the only so that isn't fair. I'll just say by the time you get to understand the powerup system, it clicks.
- It has Chow Yun Fat. In a game. Why are you still reading this?
- Somehow the game earnestly seems to care about framerate. I can't even adjust the resolution here. Is this some kind of sign of things to come? Not sure.
- This game would pass, I think, Epic's own quality badge of "well, is it fun?" Yes, it's fun.
