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 will feature Tequila Time, a slow-motion system similar to other games like Max Payne.
Stranglehold is slated for release in Winter 2006, as a launch title for PlayStation 3 and later for the Xbox 360 and PC.
