This is my first review. The major selling point of this game is the environment. Not only are there a plethora of environmental kills, but they have "Style Combos" Which is basically places that will light up and give you the opportunity to do some classic movie stunts like sliding down a stair rail while shooting. Each level is graded A-F based mostly on how many style points you got. Style points can be used to purchase extras like costumes and videos. The weapons range from mp5 machine pistols, to "Golden guns", to M16s,shotguns,rocket launchers and heavy machine guns. There is no auto lock it is all free-aim.
I've played a lot of games, and the one I would compare this to is Max Payne, with a few differences.
1. I prefer the Max Payne story more, Stranglehold is a sequel to the movie Hard Boiled. I never saw Hard Boiled so the story of stranglehold didn't interest me, I skipped almost every cut scene which I almost never do.
2. Not every dive will trigger slow-mo
3. You Never have to reload.
4. You have specials like tequila bomb which triggers a quick cut scene every time you use it of tequila spinning around shooting and then most of your enemies are dead.
5. There is a wall cover system.
