“Sure, it gets repetitive at times, it’s got a few design quirks, and the multiplayer is borderline irrelevant. But there’s enough solid, exciting action here for shooter fans to sink their teeth into.”

–Alex Navarro, GameSpot

“It’s fast-paced, has a lot of action, and the environment makes sure each chapter is never quite the same when you go back through to beat it again — Stranglehold is the ultimate guy’s game.”

–Brendon Lindsey, GamerNode

“Low-res textures, lousy water effects, and a finicky camera just donâ€™t pass the next-gen sniff test.”

–Duke Ferris, Game Revolution

“In a nutshell, it’s safe to say that with Stranglehold, you will be getting exactly what you paid for: over-the-top arcade action with a Hong Kong twist and trademark Woo choreography.”

–Uros Jojic, ActionTrip

“While there are problems with the game, you will quickly forget what those are as you continuously mow down your enemies with various execution techniques.”

–Matthew Walker, Cheat Code Central

“When it shines, it shines brightly. During intensive fire fights it can look stunning, with blood spurting, fire raging, and bullet tracers carving up the view.”

–John Walker, PC Gamer UK, Games Radar

“Ultimately, I think your enjoyment of this game all comes down to your love of Woo. It’s like an amusement park for fans and I’m glad I went on the ride, even though it only lasted about 10 hours.”

–Chris Jensen, Game Almighty

“While Stranglehold doesn’t revolutionize action games, or even any one part of action games, it’s a solid game with an authentic cinematic style, great use of Chow Yun-Fat, excellent action, and destructible environments.”

–Jeff Buckland, Atomic Gamer
