I don't hear much talk about this game but it's definitely on my Hottest Title 2007 (http://www.unscripted360.com/2007/01/23/hottest-titles-2007/) list.

It could be the action thriller we need for the Xbox 360.

I have heard of it but it doesnt really interest me. The only games I care about this year are Mass Effect, BioShock, and Half-Life 2: Orange.

Yeah Stranglehold is suppose to be real good, suppose to be able to keep running and shooting without a stop in the action, I think they said it was going to be a multiplayer too(don't hold me to it), everything is suppose to be disctructable, I'm interested but I'll wait until a couple reviews come on first

Its John Woo does max payne. Nobody can deny that sounds like a winning formula. I can't wait to see how the multiplayer turns out, it features all the time-bending abilities of the singleplayer too, that's a first for a multiplayer mode.

Man Ive only played through one full mission and some of the second and already I am a little bored of the game. Its got good voice acting, but the gameplay itself is exactly as I predicted from the demo thus far....repetitive. Now I know most games are like that, but its all the same so far for Stranglehold. And really, it provides no real challenge, the game highlights all areas where you can destroy something to fall on enemies, where to climb, etc....and as well the game is extremely linear.
