After a ridiculous wait... [Posted on 2007-11-30]
It's finally here. I heard about this game early 2007 and thought it sounded good. If I could've played it then, I probaby would have enjoyed it. Instead they kept pushing off the release date and my anticipation clearly grew too much, because I was very dissapointed when I started playing it. The early game was almost infuriating with my introduction to the seemingly endless swarms of enemies where you have no choice but to dive around the screen in slow motion for ten minutes to clear each area. I prefer a cleaner approach, sniping enemies or luring them away from the rest, and in the early part of the game that just wasn't possible. At that point I couldn't wait to finish the game just so I could give it a one star review. Then, as the levels progressed, you pretty much stay in-doors, and with the better weapons that became available, I was able to use my ambush tactics much more often. At that point, being able to better control the battles, the game became much more enjoyable. By the time I finished off the final boss, I almost regretted it ending. As another reviewer said the graphics are just okay, and the weapons are a little too realistic (as opposed to, say, Rachet's force field launcher) but altogether, as long as you don't mind furious and really long gunbattles, I'd say this game is a decent rent.
Great Game!!! [Posted on 2007-12-22]
I really enjoyed playing this game from beginning to end. I loved the game-play, and how mostly every object interacted with your character. For example you can slide across a dining cart in slow motion. I also enjoyed all the awesome "moves" he can do. Example: when you click the up arrow you get to pick a exact place on someone's body, and it'll shoot right there. Small things like this make this game a must buy.

Stranglehold PS3 review [Posted on 2008-08-03]
Stranglehold is a 3rd person over the top action shooter. Like most games the aim is to progress the storyline and reach the conclusion, but getting there you have to take down a lot of bad guys. That's where this gets a little different from your regular shooter. You get style points for each take down depending on what you do. You have a slo-mo button that slows the action down (aka John Woo film style) that allows you more time to take people down and get some style points. You can also use the scenary to add style. Jump across a table, run up or down a railing, dive off a crate.
All in all this is an enjoyable game. Decent graphics, gameplay and story. Game is a little short coming in at 7-8 hours though. I picked it up for $15 and was a steal.If you can pick it up for $20-25 it's worth it.
