Middle-of-the-road reviews might mean that it’s not tipped for a place on the coveted 2007 shortlist for ‘Game of the Year’ but Midway’s John Woo presents Stranglehold is still performing well in retail circles.

Stranglehold goes gold ahead of its release on the PlayStation 3 in PAL territories. Credit: Midway.Having already gone gold in the U.S. market, the bullet-heavy action spectacular has now also been graced with the Midas touch ahead of its release on the PlayStation 3 console across European territories.Developed by the same creative team behind the critically-acclaimed Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, Stranglehold sees the player assume the role of Inspector Tequila, the uncompromising cop who first appeared in John Woo’s hit Japanese movie Hard Boiled and was played by the iconic Chow Yun-Fat (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon).Furthermore, those expectant PlayStation 3 owners eager to get their mitts on Stranglehold can also pay a visit to the PlayStation Store, where they can download the official game demo. Offering all the excitement of "true next-gen action," Stranglehold enables the player to dole out masses of lead-fuelled punishment across a Japanese crime syndicate while enjoying fully destructive environments, a wealth of varied weaponry, and Max Payne-esque slow motion action courtesy of ‘Tequila Time.’ Want to know more? Of course you do. Click HERE to visit the official Stranglehold Web site, or simply click below for a video review of the game.
