Stranglehold (Gamer's Choice) previews

This game crashed virtually on launch, i was just going to torrent this one , but thought better of it and did the honest thing and paid cold hard cash for it. Only to be screwed over, no patch or support i get strange graphics followed by a complete system crash. This may be fun on the xbox but game makers need to stop releasing cheap console ports. If i get to play past mission one i will update this review

Not even patching can save this game, but it might get it running for some, I can't even patch my copy of the game, it reminds me of the LOST game, a half arsed attempt to cash in on a franchise, atleast in the 5 minutes I played LOST it didn't have the same NPC model showing up 5 times in a FMV sequence, it is interesting how when you shoot people but not killing them they take time to recover and that a lot of the environment is destroyable for instance you can shoot through a wooden wall but that can hardly make up for this sloppy console port, I killed the first boss by hiding behind the bar and shooting him from there and he just stood there firing at the bar and was no challenge at all. All in all this game was a good idea but bad execution, Max Payne beaten with the ugly stick. Midway screwed up.

Okay now i have patched this game, it is now actually alot of fun. patch and enjoy guys

This game is amazing! I just played the demo (free with an Ati 4870 X2 card) and WOW!! This is outstanding – like Max Payne on steriods! I'm a huge fan of Max Payne and this game blows it away! I'm going to buy it right now – just love it!

It works fine for me i got another gig of memory and it works perfectly and amazing graphics =P
