Hard Boiled" is for many John Woo's finest film. The action movie director has a unique talent whereby he's able to blend ridiculous over-the-top violence and gunplay in such a way that the visual carnage takes on an almost ballet-style gracefulness. This is certainly the case with Midway's "sequel" videogame to the hit Hong Kong action flick. Stranglehold has got it all: guns, bullets, murder, crime lords, exotic locales and doves. Doves? Yes, doves, a signature visual treat from the game's main character -- Inspector Tequila -- played expertly both on-screen and in-game by Chow Yun Fat.
GF365: "Here are our picks for the ten most underrated third-person shooters that you might not have played before or even known about."
Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10
I hope one day we get some remakes for the following
The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)
Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time
I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.
The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.
The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.
Here's hoping for an amazing sequel
GF365: "These are the best games based on movies. Every entry on this list will be a great video game adaptation of popular movies."
Alien isolation...ftw,it is definitely one of my top games,I played it again a few months ago ✌️
Stranglehold, a thrilling action game co-created by the famous Chinese director John Woo, returns to digital distribution on PC today. After years of being lost and unavailable, the game comes back to life thanks to the efforts of GOG.COM and the title’s publisher.
True that...Good thing that I still got the whole "Max Payne" series in my game collection.
Hmm, the thought of playing this through HDMI on my 4K TV through my rig sounds worth another playthrough of this gem. Especially at $10.
I don't have a 4K tv or monitor I'm afraid :S But I'm going to pick up the game anyways ;)
a very nice looking 3rd person shooter
I advise people looking into this game to rent it first.Its a fun game but its basically the same thing all they way through the campaign,run/shoot/aim/run/sho ot. Theres not much of a plot to it other than running and shooting.I rented this game for my 360 and after about 3 days i was pretty much bored with it, i was damn glad i rented it.
