Charles Starrett • Mar 2, 2006 • Comments ()

Stranglehold, a third-person shooter, is expected to be the successor to John Woo's Hard Boiled. Players will play as a digitized Chow Yun Phat, whose character, Inspector Tequila, has his wife kidnapped by the Russian mob.

The game is said to feature "Massive Destructability" settings, allowing players to shoot and break practically everything in sight. Also in the mix for the game is a version of "bullet time" which will enable payers to make acrobatic moves while firing off round after round of bullets. The game is being built on the Unreal 3.0 engine and promises Havok physics models for objects in the game.
