I also downloaded Stranglehold from MP to have a blast on.
More or less what I expected, Max Payne with a kick. There’s a lot of action, some cool gunfights.. you can tell John Woo is attached to this.
The graphics are not that outstanding, but they really don’t need to be. The action is frantic enough that your always looking for the next interactive object to shoot, table to slide across, or bad guy to plant a slug in.
The one complaint I have is some of the areas you fight in are crowded to say the least. I found some areas I could not move without starting the bullet time animation when sliding over tables. Yeah it looks cool, but I don’t want to do it every 5 steps in an area.
Saying that, when it works its a LOT of fun. Running up and down bannister’s shooting neon lights so they fall on bad guys for extra style points has something to it. I did find myself more and more trying to utilise the scenery in my gunfights as it looks cooler and scores higher. I can see me getting quite obsessive over this on release
