    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 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.

    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)

    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.
