Stranglehold, or John Woo Presents Stranglehold, is a third-person shooter developed by Midway Games' Chicago studio, released in late 2007 for Windows,PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. It is Midway's first game to use Unreal Engine 3, and was developed in collaboration with John Woo.[4] Stranglehold is the sequel to Woo's 1992 Hong Kong action film, Hard Boiled, and stars Chow Yun-Fat in a reprisal of his role as hard-boiled cop Inspector "Tequila" Yuen.[5] Stranglehold is the first project on which Woo and Chow have collaborated since Hard Boiled. Gameplay Inspector Tequila's principal advantage is his acrobatics and reflexes. During play, jumping in any direction or interacting with any object while aiming at an opponent (or pressing a certain button) will slow time, creating a short window during which Tequila can select (and destroy) targets.[9] This technique— called Tequila Time —generates a cinematic effect that mimics Woo's. Tequila Time is managed through a meter which drains with use and regenerates with time. Tequila also makes use of his environment to great effect, moving up and down railings, swinging from chandeliers, and even sliding across tabletops and riding on carts while blasting away at enemies. Another form of gameplay comes from the style and grace associated with Woo's balletic firefights. By taking out enemies you'll earn stars. The more stylish of a kill you make, the more stars you'll receive. Taking out enemies in quick succession, or interacting with the environment when taking down opponents, like swinging on chandeliers or grinding on railings, will earn you the optimum amount of stars. As an incentive to interact with your environment, Tequila receives a bonus to his attack power and defense during interactions. Tequila also employs several iconic techniques from Woo's movies, referred to as Tequila Bombs. Tequila Bombs require energy to perform. The player gains energy by defeating enemies (equal to the Stars obtained) and by collecting paper cranes hidden about each level. Heal - Costs any energy available, up to 25% - Use a portion of your Tequila Bomb energy to restore lost health. This can be seen as a reference to how many of Woo's characters will be struck with fatal wounds but still keep on fighting, while any normal man would fall. Precision Aim - Costs 25% energy - Slow-motion fine aiming mode that trails after the bullet as it flies towards a target. If the shot directly kills an enemy, the player is treated to a slow-motion death sequence. This can be seen in Hard-Boiled when Tequila fires his last shot at an improvised explosive to open a door, and later on to take down the main antagonist with a single shot to the eye. Barrage - Costs 50% energy - Unleash a buffet of lead from your current weapon, impervious to most damage and without using any ammunition, for a short time. Increases the destruction that a weapon can cause, allowing you to decimate the environment, and even makes the slowest shotgun fire as fast as a machine gun. In multiplayer mode, you can activate Barrage to avoid being killed by an opponent's Spin Attack. Spin Attack - Costs 75% energy - Annihilate all enemies around you with a flourished spin while unleashing a torrent of bullets from your weapons. Instantly kills normal enemies, and deals a fair amount of damage to bosses. If you're lucky, maybe you'll see a dove or two.
