Stranglehold is really cheap on GoG.com, worth a punt if you love Max Payne, it has some nice physics interactions and its generally just silly fun. Expands the narrative of Hard Boiled/Inspector Tequila as well if you are a big fan of HK John Woo films.

Stranglehold

Take on the role of Inspector Tequila from John Woo's influential action film, Hard Boi

If anyone is wondering.

Yes there are doves:

I rarely buy pc games, but mine should handle this just fine and this game is so over the top

 

[JimiNutz]

I remember this being fun back in the day and the destruction during gun fights being very satisfying.
No idea how it'll hold up today but for that price it's basically free.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Man I remember this clearly. I got it during the early days of the 360.

Was typical John Woo whack. Definitely worth the $2.50 to add to your collection for preservation if you care, or even a fun playthrough again, if the PC port isn't broken.

Edit - typo

For anyone thats played it all, does he ever actually drink a tequila slammer in this one? (Like in the Hard Boiled intro) I have my doubts but would be a cool touch.

Yes, when he gets to the bar around the mid point of the first level.

Also, just to note this game goes downhill fast, the first few levels really are the best, once it goes to the tropical island it kinda takes a dive.

Good game but I got headache when I played it the graphics were hideous

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Thanks for this, Thought this game went missing after being removed from Steam. Just got myself a copy now, This game is quality.

 

[xrnzaaas]

It's a cool game, I remember my PC was barely able to run it when it launched, but I still had fun. One of the best bullet time games after Max Payne.

 

[RNG]

Got it yesterday it's a great deal.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

I love that game. Finished it maybe 4-5 times on PS3.

Shame Midway went down without a sequel.

Edit: Loved the barrage with shotgun

Have you tried the FOV fix? The default FOV is super low. It could help with your headache with game.

 

[Soodanim]

Fuck it, I'll take your word for it

 

[mindfreak191]

I bought it the day it released on GoG, the game is incredibly fun and addicting.

 

[Dane]

Bought it, had finished the PC disc version years ago, it demanded a hefty 25GB space back at the time.

Thanks mate will give it a go again its an incredible game with John Woo

 

[TheDrunkenMerchant]

If anyone was a fan of the game "Wet" on the PS3/360, you'll like this game as well.

Yeah, I tought the game was hardware demanding, but nah, it ran pretty well here on my 8600gt, I think it was actually said to be 40-50GB on the official system requirements and the game only have resolution and two small visual options to change LOL.

I picked this up been wanting to play it again. I couldn't get my Xbox controllers to work with it even with Steam Big picture was about to try to try get a refund but got it working with the Dualsense with Steam beta just binded the keys turned down mouse sensitivity and was good to go. Such a fun game, is there a FOV fix I see none in options

Here's the FOV fix: https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1590-stranglehold-hor-fov-fix

If you're using GOG Galaxy you'll have to disable the overlay through the settings.
