Stranglehold
takes place many years after Hard Boiled, though Yun-Fat's Inspector
Tequila doesn't seem to have lost a step. He's still a rogue cop on the
Hong Kong police force, and when a member of the force turns up dead,
evidently offed by one of HK's major gangs, Tequila steps up to deal
with the situation.
What follows is a
sometimes confusing and ham-fisted story of gangs double- and
triple-crossing one another. Somewhere in there, Tequila's former
girlfriend and daughter both end up being held hostage by one of the
gangs. It's a decent crime tale that's certainly better than much of
John Woo's American work (though exactly how involved Woo was in this
game's production is debatable), but there is still something about the
whole story that feels very Hollywood.
It
lacks the gritty feel of the original flick, and a lot of the film's
cool factor to boot. Nevertheless, the plot serves as an OK-enough
motivation to get Tequila back in action and shooting people in the
face--and really, that's pretty much all you need.
You
will shoot a lot of people in Stranglehold. This game's body count is
pretty staggering for a game that runs only about six or seven hours.
Enemies come flying out of every nook and cranny of each stage, and
always with guns blazing. Fortunately, they don't have the ability to
jump and dive around in bullet time like our man Tequila. Though the
game refers to it as "Tequila time," this is really just the
bullet-time mechanic from Max Payne given a fancy makeover. The one
trick is that you won't ever go into bullet-time automatically as a
result of diving around, unless you specifically have an enemy in your
targeting reticle sights. There is also a specific button that puts you
into bullet-time completely separate from the shoot dodging, though
it's rare when you ever need to use it.
