Moorhuhn 3D

In 1992, the Chinese director John Woo created the Action Pops "Hard Boiled" starring Chow Yun-Fat in the lead role. 15 years later, the events on the local console or the PC are transferred. The story is still soft flushed as in the former film. In order to save his wife, the main protagonist of Tequila has to shoot through against all possible Mafia stereotypes and thereby send one or the other opponent on the boards. The gameplay is pretty simple as it is ingenious: It comes after a cutscene in an area destroyed everything has two legs and proceeds to the next section.

What makes the game not so much the atmosphere or the content, but the presentation. Here the players are several special moves to the side and every now and then it comes to the so-called. "Mexican Standoff", where it is said to aim faster than the opponent. A very great strength is (not just since "Max Payne" or "Matrix"), the "bullet-time" or the slow-motion effects are. At this point it also recommended the Game 'Total Overdose ", the well with cool moves boasts Slow deposits and an even irrwitzigeren gameplay.

Of course, the physics and especially the completely destructible environment raise the "shooting fun". This is also the only thing that will give "Stranglehold". Just as you could possibly earlier relax and unwind in "grouse", so you can do in a more realistic environment it with "Stranglehold". With the "18" mark is also equal to ensure that only adults are allowed to touch the game.

Disadvantages the miserable enemy AI could be mentioned as well as the partly indeed beautiful graphics, but often still pretty ugly (even at that time). Furthermore, the German dubbing is a bit boring. Otherwise there is no free store, but this is tempered by the checkpoints fairly distributed again. Just as befits a proper (film) DVD is of course also bonus material on the disk, which must first be unlocked. In appreciation of the master John Woo presents himself to nice addition. Incidentally, I have played on a Windows 7 (64-bit) computers.

Thus, I can recommend "Stranglehold" all action fans unconditionally. The "Kick and Rush" -Spielprinzip is worth a look.
