The only real problem that bugs me in the game is the camera. It can get annoying. However, if you can get passed that, this game feels pretty sweet.

I played through the demo several times. It's very fun. It's not intense at all, it's just over-the-top gory fun in the vein of Dead Rising. I was on the fence, but now I am definitely buing it.

Peace,

Personally I thought the graphics were mediocre, the gameplay was nothing special... Destructable enivronments aren't as cool as they should've been, and the biggest feature the game has is sliding across tables and down rails. The camera is also faulty, it just wasn't that great to me.

Well after playing the demo I think I am definitely gonna try to pick it up. It was just fun for me to play. Plus the online looks like it might be alright too. Also, what was the problem with the camera exactly? It seems like every time theres a problem with a game its always the camera. I thought it was fine.

I thought from the demo it was very cool but I'm not sure if it is worth 60 bucks or not I felt that Max Payne was a better game with the same kinda style with the whole tequila time and over the top deaths and such. It did have some cool things though the zoom in thing where you could get crazy headshots and watch them bleed and the like gun standoff thing where you dog bullets while shooting at the guy was pretty cool also. Just I'm not sure if the multiplayer will be anygood or if I will play it with Halo 3 and Bioshock right around the corner.

I liked the demo but I liked it as a demo and nothing else. I don't see what else the game is gonna bring me that I didn't get from the demo.

I looooved it. I didnt expect that much blood though. Oh well. I love how it has the cover system to mixed it with the diving. The multiplayer waspretty cool too. But theres so many good games to get and not a lot of cash. Im not preordering it until reviews its a maybe.

Gimmicky garbage that was %100 flash with no depth or polish. I'm amazed so many people were impressed by it.

Guys Guys... Its TEQUILA TIME!!!

This game is a typical guy game thats made for blowing sh!7 up and an action pack plot to boot. Obviously if you were looking for an epic title then wait for COD4,Bioshock, Halo 3, etc. If you are looking for a balls to the walls action flick adventure with John Woo's name backing it up then you're in luck. I say if you aren't swimming in cash then wait for this title to hit the $40-45 mark or just "gamefly it". I'm gonna rent this asap, but COD4 has my wallet in a head lock and Unreal Tournament 3.

i thought it was a really fun action game. i thought the graphix could of been alot better, but yet i dont really care much for them, the gameplay was fun and i loved diving and shooting in slomo. yet it was all the same....

kil and kill some more and kill some more. so i think it might get a but repetetive..the only thing is thatthere are diffeent ways to kill them .if the game ends up being really long wich i doubt it and it has good reviews then i think i might get it, but if its short and stuff.... then there are to many other games that i could spend 60 on.

but if i were to review the demo id give the......

graphix- 7

gameplay - 8

playability - 8

I think that gamepot will probly give them a 7.5 i like the game but they rate games really hard and even a little detail will bring the points down but hey its out this month so we will see what happens

I had a lovely £50 note just sitting in my wallet and no real intentions of buying anything, so I went on to Amazon and bought 3 CDs, 3 posters and a game and (2 hours later) what a perfect time to realise I want Stranglehold! lol but yeah if I can gather the money together (somehow) I'm definetly getting it

I'll probably get it some time next year when it's in the bargain bin...

It was very fun, but it feels like the novelty would wear off pretty soon, and I am already skint, and looking forward to too many games this year...

its pretty cool, if it was released in not a time of other good games id buy it but ill just rent/borrow or maybe buy it when its in the bargin bin

the zoom thing is pretty cool; a fun game but i can see it being both short and repetative, the only way i see myself buying if it has amazing multiplayer or something
