This game was largely underrated when it came out. They pissed on it just because the graphics were not that great. They forgot the polished scoring system, riveting gameplay, and great controls.
huh. this is the first time I've seen gameplay footage of this game even though its been out for awhile, and I've gotta say it looks A LOT like the ps2 game: Jet Li's Rise to Honor.
Those who thinks this is copy of Max Payne, can suck my dick. Makers of Max Payne stole the slow motion ideas and all that stuff from John Woo. Now Woo steals it back.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! what a fucking copy of max payne! just see the way he shoots while he is running and the bullet time??? what the hell?? !!the fucking shit chinese version of max payne??
this game is made from a very old movie "Hard Boiled(1992), and right now you can see the movie like matrix the Max Payne as you mentioned are all imitate from this movie... so pls stop say this game is copy from those staff...
i have the demo and this game is awesome Max payne looks like shit next to it. the combos are so cool. theres thsi thing called precison aim an din slow motion u aim at the enemy and fire and werever u aim the guy reacts eg aim forthe dick and he holds it soo cool. also when. u kno wwhat fuck it download the demo and see for yourselves im defo gna buy this game
sorry pal but john woo never had a game before this and max payne was undeniably the original. ive played both games and this one is better, but this game definatley owes somehitng to max payne
I'm making a reference to the first Max Payne game. You know the part where you take the thug hostage and when one of his friends open up a Speakeasy style eyeslit on the door he asks for a password.
Max Payne definitely ripped off all the John Woo movies and it admits it full heartedly!
first off, your right, john woo was the father of bullet time, but just because someone else uses doesn't mean they ripped it off, it's called paying homage, and they said that when they made Max Payne. Duke Nukem didn't rip off Ash from evil dead, he pays homage to him.
looks basically the same as max payne, but worse, however the stuff that comes of the walls when u shoot and the ragdolls look really good. its just that it looks like ive seen it all before on max payne.
So its basically worse, but identical to Max Payne exept for the rubbish bullet past head bollocks! well done Woooooo two thumbs up for this piece uv bull do do!
yea a1mint u stupid fuck i bet u couldent even make a gmae good so stfu u little pussy u probably like these stupid ass games like katamari.u stupid bitch grow some balls and jsup nice vid man 5 stars

I'm sick and tired of this first person Matrix imitating and emulating crap. The graphics are interesting and all, but with all that 3D technology, you'd think people start creating something new, instead of this copy-cat-crap.
that was to a1mint's little 'spree' of trying to bring down 'violent' games, and 'copy-this-copy-that' crap. Like he did in other vids about Stranglehold. I'm getting this game, and no one else is going to tell me otherwise.
Since this is produced by Woo, involves Chow Yun Fat and is a follow up to "Hard Boiled" (made 5 years before "The Matrix") you can't call it copy cat since "The Matrix" was basically a Woo gunfight with dodgy CGI and unnecessary Kung Fu
IM TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING STUFF LIKE ''matrix rippoff'' JOHN WOO INVENTED BULLET TIME! MATRIX IS THE RIPOFF YOU FUCKING PUNKS! HE STARTED IT! WATCH SOME OF HES OLD HONGKONG ACTION FLICKS AND YOU WILL GET IT FUCKING DIPSHITS!
IM TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING STUFF LIKE ''matrix rippoff'' JOHN WOO INVENTED BULLET TIME! MATRIX IS THE RIPOFF YOU FUCKING PUNKS! HE STARTED IT! WATCH SOME OF HES OLD HONGKONG ACTION FLICKS AND YOU WILL GET IT FUCKING DIPSHITS!
all matrix ever did is slow it down so u could see bullets , basicly just used slow motion now im not sure but im preety positive matrix didnt invent slow motion right ?? well the kill urself fuck tard
Nooo 'bullet time', the proper term. Not slow motion, was first seen in a movie during the mid 70s. All I'm saying is I've played the matrix and I've played Dead To Rights and this game looks no more different than those two. It's like it's a sequel to one of them. It's the same shit so you kill yourself fuck tard. I don't know what the deal is with you idiotic moronic inbred twats get a life or get off the Tube
HArd Boiled Killers was a unconnected film from about 10 years before hard boiled which was retitled to make money off Hard boiled (just like Chow Yun Fat and Danny Lees first film together was renamed Killers 2 to look like a sequel)
Hard Boiled YES! ( Even though its called STRANGLEHOLD!)Finally the movie gets recognition!!! They said its #9 on the action films list....But the body count and bullet count is more than all of the rest! HARD BOILED #1!
this reminds me of Dead to Rights 2. it was an awesome game.
