    The inspiration behind Max Payne makes a game... and it`s beautiful!
    John Woo himself even cameos in the game!

    Stranglehold is great, great storyline really nice game-play not bad graphics. the graphics could use a bit more work but other than that this game is really fun and for sure worth the money and time.

    На безрыбье Stranglehold можно принять за продолжение Max Payne.

    It might be a little bland as idea for a game, but personally i just love the gameplay and the soundtrack. The story is very similar to a steven seagal-like movie, but it's also true that those kind of movies works if put in a good way. Also i really enjoyed it because it reminds me of Max Payne, one of the best 3rd person shooter ever created.

    Неплохая игра, прошел в свое время с удовольствием, сюжет так же на высоте. Рекомендую всем, кто еще с ней не ознакомлен, 8/10

    There are plenty of "Oh my God" moments and just enough challenge to sustain anyone's interest from start to finish.

    For as long as it lasts, Stranglehold delivers a satisfying, if somewhat derivative action game experience.

    What this game is about is mayhem, destruction and style, all of which it has in bag loads. It doesn’t have the most original gameplay, nor is it the most sophisticated game of this type, but it is essentially an officially licensed John Woo game, doing what a lot of wannabe John Woo games have been doing for a few years now.
