Stranglehold (or John Woo Presents Stranglehold) is a third-person shooter currently under development by Midway Games (Chicago studio), for next generation console systems. It is Midway's first game to use Unreal Engine 3, and is being developed in collaboration with John Woo. The action is set in Hong Kong and Chicago.
Chow Yun Fat plays the role of Inspector "Tequila" Yuen, a reprisal of his role in John Woo's 1992 action movie Hard Boiled. Tequila will be battling Crime Lords in Hong Kong and a Russian Mob Boss in Chicago who captured Tequila's ex-wife. Stranglehold features "Tequila Time," a slow-motion system similar to that used in games such as Max Payne.
Stranglehold is slated for release in Summer 2007.
Stranglehold was playable at this year's E3 (2006) and won in the Best PC Action Game category in Gamespot's Best of E3 2006 awards.
