Xbox 360 PS3

As you are certainly aware by now the Xbox Live Marketplace demo of Stranglehold is available since yesterday, and we took the time to capture and encode a long and rather large video. Personally I've really enjoyed playing the demo, and I think I'll be able to replay it a dozen of times without getting bored. The game may think really messy while watching it, but it's definitely a title you have to play. Also a special mention for the cutscenes, quite well directed and making me want to see more. The first great John Woo "movie" since Hardboiled?

Yey i love this demo as well think its great!!!! heath packs are back yeyeyeyey =P lol i miss these packs in all the new games out now. If they can hit a nice 60FPS then it will be all good. I don,t like the auto Q-time as well (i know you can turn it off =)

I played through all of the difficulties on the demo and I'm fairly satisfied.

The only problem I have with it is the graphics, but I suppose that's just because it's a demo and things were made as compact as possible (video gameplay footage of the game looks TONS better than the demo gameplay).

A definite rent, not sure if I should buy it yet - since there are like 20 games coming out this fall that I want...oh well, time to get gamefly.

Good fun...too much crossfire for my tastes...graphics are indeed looking a bit shabby.
While I give kudos for attempting 60fps a rock steady 30 would be preferable.

rental at best.

I've been so damn busy that I still haven't gotten around to this yet. Tomorrow hopefully. Looks cool.

Well I just love this game! I had so much fun leaping forward and then shooting a guy in the face with a shotgun from point blank range! I`ll definitely get this..Wonder what the MP will be like though!
Cheers

one more here that loved the demo. The graphics are ok-ish, but it's the action that just pushes Stranglehold above the rest. If the demo is anything to go by, then the final game should be a trip to action bliss.

The destruction and mayhem in this game is simply outstanding and second to none... Bring it!
