do a review of enter the matrix or path of neo now!!!! i played and unironically love Enter the Matrix and Path of Neo always seemed like a cool one to try as well. i also saw someone brought up the Riddick duology and those games need more attention too
Wild how Midway (and Atari, funny enough) had all these middle market games that were so unique & so close to being good, but just fell short. Wheelman, Enter The Matrix, Stranglehold, the more adventurous Mortal Kombat games... I miss when devs took risks like this. Was fun playin' multiplayer with you though! also what is the story behind the patron named Test Drive Unlimited 2?
Man, I'd give Stranglehold a 9/10, personally. I've owned a physical copy since launch and just bought it again on GoG for the sake of convenience. I come back t it once a year and play it from beginning to end. Just stupid fun shooting.
Man, I wish they'd make these kind of linear, highly focused third person shooters again. Feel like most AAA games are either open world games with huge maps and barely anything fun to do them in or just glorified microtransactions shops with added fun of grind.
I agreed. I miss those linear third person shooters too. Glad I still got my PS3 and still playing them til this day like Spec ops the line, Max Payne 3, Stranglehold and so on.
Its fun but gets kinda boring because all your doing is running around shooting and jumping around to abuse the slo mo mechanic to mow through the enemies as quick as you can just to get to the end.
@@planescaped you're not entirely wrong. But in the mid- late 2000s, Max Payne ports sucked and the only similar games on console were the matrix games. For the time it filled a purpose.
Did anyone tell him about Maximum Action? Somebody really needs to tell him about Maximum Action. On another note, one game I would really love to see him cover is Mercenaries 2. This theme of "mediocre games, secretly loved" definitely encompasses that one.
The pc version of mercs 2 is effectively unplayable. There's long qte's that use generic button prompts on pc. Not w a s d, but generic icons (like a kicking icon or a punching icon) that correlate to specific keys and clicks. It's insane how that slipped through
First played this game at a friends house on the 360. Got a ps3 for Christmas later that year and a copy of stranglehold. One of the first games I played on it. Must’ve been 2009 as I also got the newest cod at the time as well, world at war. Loved this game. The bosses were epic and at the time there was no other game that did bullet time like this game. Not even Max Payne. That mechanic where you get to see the bullet up close and pierce an enemy wherever you decided to shoot him was next level. You aimed for his balls he held them and screamed. You aimed for his neck he grabbed it and choked on his blood in slow mo. The environmental actions you could do like the cart and siding down a railing. It was just epic. It was funny, emotional at times, bad ass at all times, and just incredibly fun to play. Nothing but fond memories for this game
I love this game dude, a classic imo! Back in the day I used to play the shit out of this game as a kid. I personally never really encounter any issues with the controls, but I can see why someone could have problems with it. But man, this game was sooo ahead of it's time. I mean it's 2021 and no game since has ever come even close to the level destruction in this game. Imagine a game that has interior destruction like this and the exterior destruction from Red Faction Guerrilla, that would be the best thing ever. But it seems like no one is interested in pushing gaming like that anymore. They can give you all the ray-tracing, frame rates and resolution they want, but it's games like this that used to (and still do) blow my mind and where insanely fun to play. If only one day, gaming would get back to these kinds of games. Does big budget mid-games. Not every game has to be this 50+ our open world game with boring side missions in it. Just make a linear game where you push the technology to the max like this game did in its time. The only thing I didn't like though was that damm second level that just never EVER ended. And that turret sequence (like in most games) was hot trash.
It's called tequila time because bullet time is trademarked by warner brothers. Max payne 3 actually licensed the trademark, it's mentioned in the launch screen
Jesus, i clearly remember playing this game demo on my ps3 fat. The nostalgia is real. I miss the old days, when 99,9999% of my playtime, was testing various demos from PS Store. I'll never forget how my mind was completely blown away when i'd downloaded Battlefield Bad Company 1 multiplayer demo, and experienced online in all its glory for the first time on consoles.
I remember getting this game thinking it was awesome, then got to the island level and just stopped playing when I failed it a few times to broken mechanics . Came back months later to finally beat that level and then I couldn’t stop playing till it was over.
Don't forget if you got the special edition for these games. On 360, you got some behind the scenes footage, and on PS3, you got the full movie of Hard Boiled, mostly because PS3 used Blu-Ray discs... it's awesome...
The driving sections in the "Gunrunner" prototype give me vibes akin to the driving sections in "Enter the Matrix", playing as Ghost had you shooting in an on-rails segment, whereas Naomi had you drive the car. It wasn't Co-Op though, unfortunately. Also, the talk of no more Co-Op shooters makes me miss Army of Two.
I clearly remember reviewers just dumping on this game back in the day. It wasn't so much that it was a bad game more that you were paying $60 for like a 3-hour experience. So it's one of those games that when you find it for like a couple dollars at a goodwill (or charity/thrift shop for my folks elsewhere in the world) it was well worth it. there's a lot of games like that not worth the full price at time of release but well worth it when it's pocket change a decade down the road or more.
You should check out Maximum Action on Steam, it’s an Hong Kong action-movie inspired arcade fps with diving and bullet time. It’s still in early access, but it’s so fun to muck about in familiar places. Thanks for the video!
I actually enjoyed this more than max payne 3. The wide open areas, environmental interactivity, destructible environment and tequila bombs made for some very dynamic and chaotic gunfights. Max Payne 3 may have had a lot more polish and production values but alot of the environments in it were really cramped so you had to play it like a standard cover based third person shooter instead of like a traditional Max Payne game with shootdodging. Plus it had some really, really long loading times and I didn't like the super restrictive linear nature of the game where you couldn't trek back to previous areas to get ammo or painkillers.
I remember years ago reading about Stranglehold in a magazine and then I saw the IGN gameplay for the Tea Rooms level (first level) back in 2007 and I became obsessed with it. I loved Max Payne, Black and Enter The Matrix on PS2 so when I saw this had complex destruction and acrobatics, I was sold! I think the game was short at the time. It was an early PS3 title for me and I love it despite the rough edges. I was disappointed it never got trophies added to it too like a lot of those early PS3 titles!
Loved it back in the day. Most accurate way I could describe it is how arcade games should have evolved... stylish moves, destructible scenery to get kills er stylishly. Just wonderful.
You ever thought about giving "The Hong Kong Massacre" a shot? I've never played it myself but it definitely has that John Woo/Max Payne appeal going for it. It's a game where you die in one hit and it's played from a top down perspective. Something like Hotline Miami.
I have so many fond memories of this game, but If there was ever a game begging for a co-op mode its this one. I think tequila has a cop buddy in hard boiled which would have been so cool
You're so right about the island level ... the first time I played Stranglehold, I gave up on the game during that annoying "plant the bomb" section. A few years later I went back to the game, pushed through that part and the rest, while not perfect, was a big step up from there.
As someone who loves Chow Yuen-Fat's acting charisma, the English dialogues he did I saw in this video made me actually laugh. Its _painfully_ awkward. And I concur with you too; Vin Diesel and Chow Yuen-Fat in an action game together would be really cool doing shootouts while holding the power of family and brotherhood in a really well-packed story!
I think you should do a video where you talk about the sales of some of the odd demakes/ports that you've talked about so far because I've always wondered if doing those was worth it at all in some cases
I love this game just frantic fun without taking itself too seriously. Years later we have a more polished game like Max Payne 3 but was unfortunately brutally difficult even at Normal. It was so hard that it was frowned upon to go guns blazing in that game where the first two games did encouraged you to do that at a cost and were too dark and gritty for my taste at times. Stranglehold despite its flaw was such a joy to play its janky nature have its own personality.
If anyone finds themselves wishing for a modern rendition of this game, I recommend The Hong Kong Massacre. It is a top-down shooter, but it captures the high-octane action that this game is going for and has similar slow-motion and evasion mechanics.
The character models/physics reminds me of Syphon Filter (PS1). It's like the body splits in half and the legs move independent and irrespective of the torso.
I’m really surprised at how destructible these environments are. It actually looks almost on par with Remedy’s Control, which again, brings the circle even further around! For a while I was thinking this was on PS2 for some reason lol. I was thinking “these graphics look pretty clean for a PS2 game” xD
I've actually had this game installed for a year on gog but haven't gotten around to it, might have to give it a go after watching this. Thanks minimme! (I have another suggestion for a game. Gangs of London on PSP, there's a new tv series with 9 episodes. Its really good but as for the game its a hit or miss for each person but I had my fun with it back in the day. Its like a mini gta game. I learnt if you're to emulate it on the ppsspp emulator you need to disable fast memory in the system settings)
I played the first level of Stranglehold a couple of months ago. Maybe I have to give it another try... Have you tried the Dead to Rights Games? They have a 90s Action movie feeling, like some good early Van Damme movies. While far from perfect, I still like this series of games.

@@commanderkeen3787 I'm a Patron, you should be too!
These are the kind of games that deserve a Remake, imagine this game with updated graphics and it's gameplay design fixed, would be amazing.
I agree. They need to focused on the games with potential instead of games that were AAA
The game is perfectly playble, just play it, we do not need to remake/remaster every good old game, at least ask for a new entry in the series.
Wish I could play this on a ps5
Man, I wish they'd make these kind of linear, highly focused third person shooters again. Feel like most AAA games are either open world games with huge maps and barely anything fun to do them in or just glorified microtransactions shops with added fun of grind.
I agreed. I miss those linear third person shooters too. Glad I still got my PS3 and still playing them til this day like Spec ops the line, Max Payne 3, Stranglehold and so on.
For example. Uncharted 4 was way too open, felt unfocused.
This, most games now sticks an open world to the game, is very boring.

YES!!!
Stranglehold has been my ‘dream’ video for Minimme for make and now it’s The Punisher! 😭
Yes-yes and yes again... Still, thq Nordic won't re-release it for some reason, it sold super well back in the day for a game like this
Do 50 Cent bulletproof or blood on the sand next! Love your work.
This game was absolutely awesome back in the day. I still play it from time to time and still have fun with it.
glad to see you reviewing this underrated gem, it deserves recognition!
I wouldn't say it's underrated, it's rated very accordingly to its quality

@@krakenloco it’s definitely a fun game imo, been awhile since l’ve played it ages ago now lol

Its fun but gets kinda boring because all your doing is running around shooting and jumping around to abuse the slo mo mechanic to mow through the enemies as quick as you can just to get to the end.

Always a delight to see another video from you!
I Swear To God I Was Just Trying To Find This Game.
They have it on GoG. Runs great. Or were you looking for a copy you already owned? haha
Maybe just trying to remember what it was.
I love the amazing niche that you have carved for yourself, it never fails to entertain me. Love your stuff bro
I know there’s very little likelihood of it happening, but I’d love to see an HD remake of this.
I was also thinking about it, maybe rockstar doing a cameo for stranglehold in a max payne game haha
The game is already HD (at least on pc), but an entire remake could be interesting.
Play it on the pc, it's already in HD and you can fix the low FOV that plagues the console version.
@@StabStabStabStabby Is it possible to fix the ugly sepia filter when bullet time is active?

I've always wondered how a slow motion mechanic would've handled in multiplayer and as the one not using it. It is exactly how I imagined it.
Rdr dead eye is a good example
This is one of the most underrated and overlooked games ever made. It’s nonstop fun action
I play this game religiously, I absolutely love playing stranglehold back then and still now
i dont know why i really enjoy those 2000's shooter or racing games, sadly alot of them are not on steam

I played this game countless times and never knew that you could flip tables
Still laughing at “Inspector Tequila” lol
Well, Tequila is just his nickname.
That’s a badass name just give it time
Best underrated action games I used to play back then
You should check out Maximum Action on Steam, it’s an Hong Kong action-movie inspired arcade fps with diving and bullet time. It’s still in early access, but it’s so fun to muck about in familiar places.

Combine Total Overdose acrobatics and Tequila with Payne To The Max 2 generous bullet time, Hong Kong cinema references and you get Stranglehold.
I got this game for 99 cents at gamestop. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth.
My feeling when I got a copy of Destiny and Fallout 76 for free that one time for a $15 game purchase.

1:18 "It is a little HARDER to recommend"
5:36 "I'd EASILY recommend it"
huh.
Remember back in the day this game was awesome all the enviroment destruction while evading thousands of bullts was just incredible...
