Demo was shit (360). You get waves after waves with stupid AI mobs shooting at you, gfx was ugly, storyline seems shitty, acting likewise.

You run into a alley with 3-4 guys waiting for you, you kill them, out comes 3-4 new guys from a door close by, same procedure all the time it seems (with some crappy slowmo-dodge-bullets-kinda-whatever-mode sometimes) . Sure it may be fun for those who just want a brainless shooter to spend some time (nothing wrong with that). I'll pass.

Can't shake the feeling that I played this game 3-4 years ago, or even longer back.


Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

Jesus! What the hell do you want? Half-Life 9! Bioshock 6: This is Real! This game is all about fun, explosions, blood, debris, fire fights, slow mo, riding things while shooting, great gameplay, story telling and just looking god damn cool while doing all that awesome addicting stuff! If this is the way you look at games, damn, I am glad I am not you!

Just play it man and have FUN!!

Did you even play the game or are you just rambling? Thats my opinion, the game is just mindless shooting - as stated - If thats what you are looking for, YES this game may be fun. But I did not like the demo all that much, maybe I was expecting more. It felt cheap, Max Payne felt more fun than this, maybe thats just it.

It was a Demo, Ive played crappy demos before and liked the full game, that doesn't take away the impression it gave me thou.

I agree, Shit got repetitive and boring, and thats through the time-span of a fucking demo. Imagine what the full game will deliver, yes, exactly what the demo did plus some Tequila bombs.

You guys are putting this game on a pedestal. Yeah it was fun for maybe 10 minutes, Funny thing is after I downloaded the 360 demo my brothers and I all anxiously huddled around the TV waiting to see what this games finally about. After about half way through the demo everyone lost interest.. Laughing

Spend your time waiting for Bioshock, not this!

Exactly, I love those movies and I love the demo.
You people that don't like it because you expected Half-Life 3 or something should watch the movies, especially Hard Boiled (actually everyone who didn't yet should do so Wink).
AI?? They aren't even supposed to act intelligent! The games about a one man army cop and LOTS of bad guys having violent and bloody gunfights in very destructible environments together with with a story and cutscenes in John Woo style. AI...pff...Rolling Eyes

This game won't really see the light of day as much as some people think. They picked a bad day to release this lol, people will be too busy playing bioshock and will have and already ahve spent their money on it.

Stranglehold PC/PS3 Demo "Any Day Now"

Aug 23, 2007 at 6:35 PM - Robert "Apache" Howarth - 1 Comment
Patrick Curry, Senior Game Designer at Midway for Stranglehold, gave an update on his blog for the PC and PS3 demos for the game:

Yes, we’re still working on the PS3 and PC demos. I can’t say exactly, but we should be done with them “any day now.” PC and PS3 are still really important to us, and to prove it we’ve slipped a little something extra into the PC and PS3 demo. You know, cause y’all rock for waiting for it.

Are we porting the 360 game to the PC and PS3? No, not really. We did most of our content development on the PC with a controller attached. That let us make quick changes and almost instantly see it in the game. But we’ve had all three versions of the game up and running in parallel for several months now, with a team of programmers dedicated to each system.

Good but bad decision actually. Shoulda moved it to next month (unless there was a tech problem) since there really isn't any releases out that month. This month has been raped by bioshock. Releasing at the end of this year was bad cause that's when were getting hit hardcore by awsome games like blacksite, assassins creed, the witcher, hellgate london etc. Stranglehold doesn't really hold much of a chance against any of those, it's just another....3rd person action shooter with not a lot going on for it.

It certainly is. Don't expect too much in the way of depth and you should be pleasantly surprised.
