Stranglehold Demo

Downloaded this at the weekend and was fairly unimpressed at the start. Just looked like an inferior version of Max Payne, what with 'Tequila Time' instead of bullet time.

Have now played it through a few times and it really is a lot of fun. The perpetual sliding about on surfaces takes a bit of getting used to but there's some brilliant action to be had. The little sub-games where you get ambushed are a nice touch, and I like the precision-shot feature. I like how many objects you can shoot to land on people too - other games have made use of it but they're all over the place in this.

Definitely one I'm going to buy. Multiplayer looks interesting as well.
