Midway today released a fact sheet spilling the official beans on Stranglehold.

DESCRIPTION

Acclaimed action director John Woo presents Stranglehold, a stunning 3rd-person action adventure videogame for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. A “spiritual sequel” to Woo’s action masterpiece, “Hard Boiled,” Stranglehold redefines the action gaming experience with its acrobatic gunplay, thrilling cinematography, frenetic combat and incredible Massive Destructibility (Massive D). Chow Yun-Fat reprises his signature role as Inspector Tequila, pitting gamers as a take no-prisoners cop waging a personal war with Hong Kong crime lords. Tequila’s loyalties to the force are tested when his ex-wife is kidnapped by the Russian mob in Chicago. Tequila struggles to balance his duty to uphold the law with doing what it takes to save his family.

FEATURES

SIGNATURE CINEMATIC ACTION


Stranglehold allows gamers to play a John Woo-directed action blockbuster movie. Dual-wielding, stunt-laden gunplay combined with massive destructible environments ensures that stranglehold will be a true tour-de-force. The environmental interactivity and two-fisted gunplay all come online, bringing the experience to a whole new level.

AMAZING GUNPLAY & STUNTS

Gamers will experience smooth flowing gameplay, such as running up railings, swinging on chandeliers and leaping onto moving objects, all without interrupting intense gun battles.

BLOCKBUSTER HOLLYWOOD TALENT

Featuring the cinematic flare of acclaimed action director John Woo, Stranglehold will also benefit from Woo’s direction on storyline, camera placement and cutscenes. Starring international action-star Chow Yun-Fat as Inspector Tequila, the game’s cast is also comprised of other A-list Hollywood talent.

GROUND-BREAKING TECHNOLOGY

• MASSIVE D™

The innovative physics engine will provide gamers
with an unprecedented level of interactivity. With
two huge areas to explore (Chicago and Hong Kong),
the interactions will be infinite with each level
offering massive amounts of destructibility.

• INNOVATIVE TEQUILA TIME™ MECHANIC
Stranglehold's unique Tequila Time™ slow-motion
system goes well beyond the slow-motion gameplay
that typifies so many current action games and
allows players to simultaneously aim and shoot at
targets with a greater degree of focus. In a case
of art imitating art, John Woo is the master and
originator of this style of gunplay action and it's
taken to a new level in Stranglehold.

• UNREAL 3.0 AND HAVOK
Using a highly modified version of the Unreal 3.0
engine integrated with the Havok physics system,
Stranglehold will breath new life into game
envinronments and characters with stunning
graphics. Incredible "Rock'n Roll" physics make it
possible for everything in the world to be
destructible and interactive, allowing for an ever
changing battle ground depending on how players
approach different situations.
