Stranglehold

John Woo and Chow Yun-Fat's Hong Kong style action shooter is sure to grab you by the throat.

Intense Hong Kong movie style action comes straight to your home with this third person shooter, Stranglehold. Starring international film star, Chow Yun-Fat (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Bulletproof Monk), and the talents of renowned action film director, John Woo (Face/Off, The Killer), the game mixes high octane shooting with a movie style production that includes protagonist Inspector "Tequila" Yuen from Woo and Yun-Fat's last silver screen collaboration; the critically acclaimed Hard Boiled.

As Inspector Yuen, gamers are invited to take up arms and take down organized crime bosses in a tale of revenge set across Hong Kong and Chicago. Each game environment is highly detailed and destructible, a feature that persists throughout the game world. Tequila is able to dual-wield his myriad of guns, and perform stunts typical of a Woo directed film, running up railings, swinging from chandeliers, and leaping onto moving objects in a deadly ballet of hyperkinetic, choreographed action and freeze-framed sequences.

• Use the environment as a weapon to carve your own path of destruction through cities.
• Engage the enemy in Tequila Time by targeting and firing in real time while the world dramatically slows.
• From the developers of the critically acclaimed Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy.
