John Woo Presents Stranglehold for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

The game was pretty cool, the stand-off mode was sweet, but it was just too short of a game.

When I first started playing Stranglehold, I was amazed by the bullet time effects. These effects, as well as the "Tequila Bombs" became the only way to survive. After the second or third misson the game goes from a good 9.0 in ratings to a 7.5. The reason for such a change was the game send enemy after enemy through spawn point after spawn point.The last mission has cracked out enemies with light machine guns. The cover mechanics were horrible. The score was lowered another 2.5 points for the buggy gameplay. Tequila, your charectar, can jump off walls sure, but his lack of ability to do it in the best situtation is just bad at best. All in all,if you can look past these faults and see the the actual point of the game, (besides shooting guys in the balls with precision aim), than I would absoluty recommend this to you.
