A few months back there was news that Steven Spielberg is working on two game titles for EA. This was further proof that the ever-so-glamorous Hollywood can't stay away from the lucrative world of gaming. John Woo, a very established and competent film-maker has been working on a game himself. His game is based on the Chow Yun Fat international blockbuster Hard Boiled, and he is back as Inspector Tequila. The game will be out soon, so here we have a preview of the game for you to munch on.



Before I begin, let me tell you a few interesting facts about the game:

1) The game is only the second project that John Woo and Chow Yun Fat have worked on together after the original movie.

2) The game is being developed by Midway, and uses the Unreal 3 engine.

3) The game will retain the famous John Woo action-style, as seen in his movies.

Whoever says that this game draws inspiration from Max Payne,Total Overdose or whatever needs to check their info. This game involves the Hong Kong action movie legendary director John Woo ! For your information,Max Payne,or similar games HAVE drawn inspiration from John Woo's movies!! The developers have stated this many times. Ofcourse,Stranglehold DOES look similar to these games,that's because it's based on Woo's ideas!!! For proof,see Woo's movies like "Hard Boiled" or "Better Tomorrow" or "The Killer" to get a clear idea. P.S. This game's gonna rock!!
