Stranglehold 360 out now

I kinda liked the demo, but given that this is a 6-hour game, I think I'll wait for it to be a Platinum title - IMO this feels like a $30 game, not a $50-60 one (not to mention the glut of other great titles this fall - I feel like I have already consumed an inordinate number of hours this year on Forza 2 and Bioshock, with Orange Box, H3, COD4, Mercenaries 2, Burnout-Paradise, and about a million more still to come!). Thanks for the tip, though!
 
Yea, I'll wait until I see it for 40 bucks or less on ebay which shouldn't take too long. Game looks nice and is getting favorable reviews but being that its short I think used copies will be all over ebay in about a week or so.
 
I can't even say I agree with the two posters above me...there's only so many carts and melons you can slide on/through. I got pretty bored with the demo.

every surface you bump into would instantly lead you into dramatic slide...kinda stupid...took away from the game, but I do plan on playing through it because it looks like a good story with some fun platform shooting!

That's the reason I can't buy it at full price. The game feels like I should be putting quarters into it for extra lives. A good buy at $30 though.

Exactly why I didn't care much for the demo.
 
I'm loving this game. I haven't seen this much insanity since the games that came out on DOS. This game throws realism out the door and replaces it with pure mayhem. I guess if you didn't like hard boiled the movie, you wont like this one either. I just had to buy it after I played through the demo 15 times. 🙂
 
Max Payne (the first one) was a better game and alot more fun to play. I would pick it up bargain bin or for a rental, but not full price.
