Xbox 360 PS3

Midway released this great trailer for Stranglehold, looking really really impressive. In fact, I've never been interested in this game, until now. They've really improved the graphics during the last months!

Guys, Max Payne was BASED on the movie this game is based on. Remember the difficulty level "Hard Boiled"?

@Slabs: Euhm... so what? What's your point? The game "Max Payne" was there first, not this game

So? Doom was here first. does that mean no-one else should make a first person shooter? No. Developers can do what they want (mostly).

Jees, you sound like you want to stifle new IPs with what you are saying. Since 'max payne was there first' only Max payne games should have a style like this? i think not.

It's not like that. But that's the reason I think it's boring. Max Payne did it once, it was cool (partly because I also really liked the story etc), but for me, once is enough. This game looks like Max Payne without the cool Max Payne, without the nice story, without the nice "weird parts" but with more action elements... for me, that just won't do it
