Stranglehold is definitely a pleasant surprise. When I heard, "John Woo presents" I immediately decided that it would be a much more polished and well presented game, far from that of the matrix. Come to think of it though, the Wakowski brothers did the Matrix and John Woo had nothing to do with it. Either way, I figured it would be a good game. I got a chance to play the demo on PS3. I was simply blown away. The way you can slow down time and how it's not just jumping slowly, but jumping off of walls, sliding down railings, sliding on small push carts, shooting down a billboard sign, shooting a transformer pole down and watching it fall on your enemies, is all what makes this game unique and yet innovative. You can practically damage anything in the game, and the storyline makes for an entertaining premise of a 'one cop does it all' theme. The fact that this game isn't a franchise, and is not a sequel makes me even more excited. Because in today's "madden generation" of games that are only bought for franchise characters, or sequels, it is good to see a game with no predecessors come out and deliver in a well put together fashion that should be recognized positively by the general gaming public. Go get this game.
