Chow Yun–Fat reprises the role of Inspector Tequila from John Woo's influential action film, "Hard Boiled" in this hyperkinetic shooting game. Run into danger with both fists full of lead and take down the organized crime bosses who stepped over the line when they took your family. Stop at nothing as you destroy the entire world around you to get them back. You are a desperate man following your own rules; honor thy family; do what's right; fear no man. Stranglehold features much of the hyperkinetic, choreographed action and freeze framed sequences that Woo is known for.

Looks decent, hopefully it'll be fun though, even if it's not my type of game.

I'd say there has been pretty decent buzz about it, especially for a beat-em-up. Looks very promising, but I'm curious to see if there's more to it than we've seen. Granted, I'd play it just to destroy environments while beating the crap out of people - but I wouldn't pay $60 if that's all there is to it. ;)

The PS3 version of this game has a Collectors Edition for 70 dollars, that comes w/ HD movie Hard-Boilded, all on the same disc.

I hope more CE games follow suit... this might be a nice package.

I heard about this earlier today, and I gotta say it's pretty much sold me on getting this game at release. Hard Boiled is an awesome movie. Slightly disappointed that the movie & game are on the same disk, but it's not that big of a deal.

I wasn't thinking about picking this up, but getting Hard Boiled in HD is a terrific addon.

I never got the Criterion copy of that, so I'll be curious to see how good this looks.

I don't even own a PS3 yet but I think that this will be the first game that I'm going to get for it. The Criterion alone goes for more than $70 on Ebay sometimes and to have the movie in High-Def plus the game is definitely worth it.

There's supposed to be a CE for the 360 as well but I don't think it will be better than this.

Just saw this:

"(T)he Weinstein Company, the company who owns the rights to Hard Boiled in North America, is an exclusive HD DVD supporter. Stranglehold may be the only place that Hard Boiled will touch in the world of Blu-ray Disc, as the standalone movie-only version of the John Woo classic will logically be an HD DVD exclusive."

Serpentor
05-22-2007, 02:59 PM
Huh, that's pretty interesting... Oh boy, Hard Boil fans gonna have a field day on this one. If that's the case, the BR version will be "rare."

I love the movie, so the only thing holding me back is the game. I'm gonna wait a bit on this one, need more info on game play and story etc... The trailer looks okay to me.

Word on why the PS3 CE is only one to have movie. (http://www.destructoid.com/why-stranglehold-pack-in-hard-boiled-is-hard-wired-for-the-ps3-only-37322.phtml)

WOW. You can ONLY play the movie via the PS3. Not a huge deal but that does suck for people who only have standalone Blu-ray players. Not that it matters to much as it seems the movie is going to get re-release anyway. "End if july" has past so maybe it slipped a bit.

dallow

Figured the movie would be some kind of "extra' in the menu screen.

Oh well, works for me!

Serpentor

Ah, so it's not a 2nd disc or anything like that... This will be the first game disc that has movie on it. I don't know what to say... It's a pretty good idea, but for people don't have a PS3, they can't watch the movie, even though they got a BD player. Wow, a bit confusing for some people i bet.

I'm watching the deal forum closely on this title, as soon as something is up, i'm gonna order it.

Well word is it is being rereleased outside of the PS3 disc. If it is going to be HD, or just on a normal DVD, I don't think it has been stated yet though.

i sold the Collector Edition for $30 a while back... the dvd is definitely out, but as to a remaster one (meh, whatever you want to call it) to be re-released along with the HD version (mostly likely HD-DVD, not BD), that's what NamPaehc is talking about (i think). I believe the criterion version of HB is "hot" right now, b/c it's the "best" version out there.

Well really, who's going to buy a PS3 game if they don't own a PS3? I doubt there are many that would drop $60 just to watch the movie.

I don't know that it sucks for standalone owners. I can't imagine many people would spend $70 for a single movie that has game functionality that they won't ever use. Confusing? A lil' bothersome? Yes on both counts. Ultimately moot, however, IMO.

I just played the 360 demo last night while waiting for the Bioshock demo to go live; a great game that I'm completely sold on (Stranglehold - and Bioshock, too - but the former is of relevance here). I want to wait on it, since I'd like the version with Hard Boiled on it, if there are only minute differences, gameplay-wise, between the two versions. Gah!

Stranglehold WILL be Region free!!! (http://www.siliconera.com/2007/08/10/stranglehold-no-longer-region-locked/)


Stranglehold no longer region locked

After cries on Midway’s official boards the company had a change of heart and decided to release the game without region coding. This means if you’re in Europe, Asia or wherever you can import the limited edition version of the game, which comes with the Blu-ray movie Hardboiled on the disc.

I’m glad Midway went the region free route. I wouldn’t want Stranglehold to be a precedent for region locked Playstation 3 games or (gasp) region locked portable games. Also something else to note is there are a significant amount of gamers who want their software without region locks. Maybe not enough to sway for a region free Wii, but there are enough voices to make Midway care.

Hmm. i didn't think PS3 games *could* be region locked. What was the deal with the rumors of this one being that way?

Reasoning was to do with the CE coming with the HD movie on the disc. Movies are still Region Locked so they wanted to avoid any "problems" and locked the game. Some how, they felt it was alright to lock both the CE and then normal version (even though it doesn't come with the movie). After the uproar, looks like they have backpaddled.

I could handle a few weeks, but now another month of waiting just seems like too long to wait with some great games coming in the next month or so. It's a shame that it's being pushed back again, but I may still just get it for the collector's edition.

This is becoming ridiculous. Where the hell is the competition? Are the developers really that unconfident with their games that they just push them back so that Halo 3's hype dies down while the games come out?


If this game was prepared, it would still come out on the 25th. Developers need to get some balls and fight back Halo 3 with something that will make everyone go wow. So much for competition...

They pretty much screwed themselves over by delaying it this much, I hope they don't take into account how poorly it will probably sell and think the PS3 isn't worth putting games on.

After picking up Strangehold Collector's Edition yesterday, I finally got some playtime today. Is anyone else seeing a lot of bugs. Right when the first two enemies show up on top of the short stairs, I dove and somehow ended up underneath the level. Then I restarted and got about ten minutes further until for no reason it froze. At that point I got frustrated and gave up. I think I might wait for a patch. I knew they were having problems with the engine but I didn't think it would be this bad.

Is anyone else experiencing these problems?

It looks more like an upscaled dvd for the most part. There's a few scenes where it looks 1080p'ish with great color. But that's only for a few scenes. Anyways, I had the same freezing problem and stuff as well. That's why I sold it on eBay.

Got my copy in the mail on Wednesday, and ran into a strange freeze/bug in the first level. About the half-way point, I ran thru a breakable door into a room and came out the door on the other side into an alley. I played thru the 360 demo 5-6 times when it first came out on XBLM and don't recall this area at all. When I got about two-thirds of the way down the alley the screen froze, but the audio kicked into a cutscene with guys on motorcycles and a shootout. It lasted for awhile and when it ended the game and controller were still frozen. I had to restart my PS3 to get anything to happen.

I was a bit pissed, and wondered if the often delayed PS3 version was still screwed up. I took out Stranglehold and went back to work on leveling up my Omega weapons in R&CF: ToD in challenge mode. I put Stranglehold this evening after work and haven't had anymore problems. I'm starting level 3 and I'm hoping I don't encounter anymore issues.

It's an excellent game, but you'll beat it in a matter of 6-8 hours. I certainly can't justify the $70 price tag. I'll probably wait until it drops to $20-$30 before I even think about picking it up.

^Agreed, but is it going to end up like one of those CE where you can still find them months later, though?

More than likely.

I've seen tons of copies everywhere which is what has gotten me to hold off on it. If it does become rare oh well, but I highly highly doubt it.

I bought it in large part because of the included movie. I love Hard Bolied and to me 70 seemed like a fair deal for a movie I love and a game whose demo (on the 360) I enjoyed. It just sucks the game is so buggy at this point. I'm praying they patch it.
Anyway, right now I would definitely say that it's not worth $70 .

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but howcome I can't find a single review of Hard Boiled on bluray that's included in this Collector's Edition?

Or am I missing something?

It's just an upscaled version of the Dragon Dynasty edition that was released earlier this year. I'm no expert but it didn't look significantly sharper or anything.

The movie looks okay. The integration on the game disc, lack of rewind/ff options...really piss me off. It looks nice, I suppose, but is it supposed to be 1080p? Sure doesn't seem like it.

Nevertheless, a better LE extra than most art books/soundtracks/crap. I'm happy with it.

I was also prompted to update to 1.10 for this game when I put the disc in tonight, so perhaps some bugs may have been addressed?

I didn't see this mentioned in any of the other Stranglehold threads I searched. But for those of you that have the game, does the disk itself say "Collector's Edition" anywhere on it?

The reason I ask is because I just bought the Collector's Edition used from Gamestop from that 25% off coupon dealie, and they only had one copy left.. the case is the Collector's ed, but the disk just says Stranglehold. I'm wondering if someone traded it in like that and kept the CE disk or something. The clerk had no idea even if it was on 1 or 2 disks lol.. The instructions mention something about pressing square from the main menu to watch the movie, though.
Also does the CE have any extra stuff besides the RE or just the Hard Boiled movie?

Thanks

here's the info I got. b/c I thought I got a wrong edition too from GS and returned it and the employees didn't know either, but turns out it was the CE..

short answer: DOES NOT SAY CE on it, it's just a BLACK DISC

non CE: is a red disc.

the hardboiled movie is on the same disc.

Cool thanks for the reply.. Mine is a black disk, so I guess I have the CE as well. :)
lol would it have killed Midway to print "collectors edition" on the disc to avoid confusion?

Oh I just noticed the SLUS30081 is on the spine jacket and also on the disk itself so that's another way to tell.

You could also pop it in the drive and see if it has the movie "Hard Boiled" on it. If it does then you have the Collectors Edition. BTW its and awesome movie.

Heh, I was looking all over for this in stores and eventually just ordered it online, and when I got it I was pretty surprised, I figured it would say Collector's Edition on the spine but it doesn't. I probably walked right past it a bunch of times when I was looking for it.

I've tried playing a few times, but I was literally the only one on.

Fuckin terrible. Waste of time. If you can actually find a game with another human being, it lags like a bitch. Just stick to the single player.

I'm tempted and I already own the game.
