NBA Live 07 (Xbox 360)

NBA Live 07 (Xbox 360)
Customer Review: The best yet
Although Basketball is nowhere near as popular in the UK as it is in the States, this game is a must. The overall gameplay and presentation on the XBox 360 is a big step up from previous EA Sports offering on other consoles.

Graphics are superb, but HDTV (which I don’t have) must be even better. All the usual EA Sports extras are there and their presentation is first class making this game a must have.

The crowd reactions at crucial points of the game are a great touch and give the game added realism. Controls are easy to grasp and even if you are not knowledgeable on the sport its easy to get buy.

If you like sports game and have a few quid to spare then get this game. One of the best sports sims I have ever played. Only bad point is it will take you an age to get to grips with the slam dunk comp.

Customer Review: The Cable to own if you want HD gaming
I just recently bought a 32″ HD tv and was unsure to go with this cable or the VGA one. After reading many reviews I opted for the component cable and it works perfectly. The HD quality of the 360 games is amazing. I have also heard that the other third party cables dont have the proper protection so it is most likely best to go with this official microsoft one. If you are after a cable to make the transition to HD gaming this is the one to get. Gears of War and Fight night look like stunning. Cant wait for Mass Effect and Halo 3.
Customer Review: Great cable…..
This is an excellent pick if you have a HDTV. It does what it says on the box & I was surprised between the difference from the RGB scart cable to the HD AV cable (ofcourse keeping in mind that HD graphics have a much higher resolution than standard). There is a connection for an optical out which is useful, and the HD setting control on one side of the cable. So to sum it up….don’t think twice if yo have a HD capable TV!

Customer Review: Very helpful
I don’t usually buy guides but i liked the game so much that i wanted to make sure i’ve completed and found everything and without this book (plus the bethesda forum) I never would have been able to do that. This guide is very detailed and i recommend it to anyone that has the game.
Customer Review: One of the best game guides i’ve ever purchased!!!
The book is huge, it must be like 300 pages long.It is really helpful,it tells you all about stats to begin with but then about 60 pages in it starts to talk about the main quest.After that it tells you how to complete all the other quests(guild quests,freeform quests…).This book is really helpful, if you are stuck on Oblivion you need to get this.Essential.

Stranglehold (Xbox 360)

January 12, 2008 | By Doug In Xbox360 | Comments(0)


Stranglehold (Xbox 360)
Companies are always going on about the synergy between movies and video games, but all this really ever seems to mean is lots of dreadful movie tie-ins where all the money has been spent on celebrity voiceovers. Stranglehold is different though, in that it’s essentially a sequel to 1992’s classic movie Hard Boiled, made purely for video games. This time Inspector “Tequila” Yuen is unleashing his unorthodox policing methods on Russian crime bosses in both Hong Kong and Chicago. It stars the likeness of original lead Chow Yun Fat and has been developed with hands-on help from director John Woo - who it turns out does seem to know a thing or two about video games.

Of course video games have been ripping off John Woo for years, particularly his trademark slow motion shots of two-handed pistol action. As a result this initially seems dangerously similar to Max Payne et al., but the graphical power of the next generation consoles and PC ensures that this is a far more dynamic and interactive affair. Not only can you make use of a bullet time effect (call “Tequila time” here) to slow down time around you but almost all of the scenery can be used too, from sliding down banisters guns firing to scooting across the room on top of a waiter’s trolley. The damage done as you go is truly impressive, with tiles shattering off the walls, chandeliers impaling bad guys as they fall and electric wires and water mains unhinging themselves everywhere. Making a mess has never been so much fun.
HARRISON DENT

Customer Review: Great game, poisoned by the storyline.
This Game is fantastic for first time players. Great visuals, a Max Payne like presence all around when you utilize some of the fantastic mouth watering special attacks.

You play as well renowned actor Chow Yun Fat, and the game is intended to be a sequel to the hit movie: “Hard Boiled”. The game achieves this to some extent, as i can see the definate similarities from film to game, however the joy ends when one focuses on the storyline.

The storyline suffers with its lack of depth, and its somewhat incoherent and frustrating jumps between places. The game on a whole is a joy to play, but the average gamer may feel asif the fun has ended a little too early.

Another thing which brings the game off its pedestal is the Frustrating difficulty level, you could find yourself dead within seconds in some areas, or you might not die at all, it all depends on how you play the game, i decided to use the special attacks less throughout the game.

The “barrage” attack can dispense bosses on even the hardest difficulty level which can be frustrating for the die hard shoot-em-up fan, because in my opinion the bosses fall short of the challenge intended. One of the special attacks i enjoyed to utilize frequently was the “Precision Aim”, where the character fires a bullet with pinpoint accuracy from a helpful zoom screen, the enemy which is struck with the bullet then reacts accordingly with where they were struck.

Overall i would recommend this game to people who are looking for action over depth, Stranglehold in its entirety is a diamond in the rough, which has been let down by badly structured storylines and a disappointing ending.

Customer Review: True Woo Style gameplay - challenging but not too difficult - shame about multiplayer though
For those of you who love John Woo films and his artistic style, this game is for you. The game character Tequila is the character from the movie Hard Boiled (played by Chow Yun Fat) - a badass cop who doesn’t mind bending the rules to put bad guys away. As in the movie Hard Boiled, the action scenes are wonderfully played out with a mix of slow motion and manic gun fights or exposions. In this game Stranglehold, this is no exception.

The feature of the game is that you can slow time down for a limited period of time allowing you to aim more precisely and kill more bad guys. You’ll find that you want to dive often where time is automatically slowed down (just like in Hard Boiled!!).

You can also run along banisers, chairs, walls etc which is great fun and I really like being able to jump off a wall, kick it and fire my guns falling backwards and also jumping onto a trolley and killing peole as your coast along (also in Hard Boiled in the Hospital). John Woo’s trademark is the used throughout the game like the use of two pistols, Woo time (slow motion) and close encouter gunfights, and sliding across tables etc. In the extra’s, you can go to a shop with John Woo as the salesman and buy extras after earning them during gameplay.

Similar to Devil May Cry for the PS2, you have Style points and combo points, so the more you kill people with style (e.g. sliding down a banister and killing guys) the more points you gain. Your points are contributed to ‘Tequila Bomb gauge’ that fills up. As you progress along the game you unlock 4 specials. When the first quarter fills, you have the option of a health boost; the second precision aim (allows a zoom in to bad guys for distance shots); the third quarter allows Tequila to fill up with bullets on whatever weapon he is holding and then blast away very, very quickly without diminishing your ammo count; the final quarter filled up allows Tequila to do a special move, spinning on the spot to kill bad guys (which is really cool to watch).

As in Hard Boiled paper cranes make an appearance. You can collect these throughout the game to increase the ‘Tequila Bomb gauge’ immediately to help you get to those special moves quickly.

There is a multiplayer option but so far I don’t think I’ve come across anyone on it yet. Maybe I’ll take a look on the XBOX forums to see who’s interested in some gaming.

All in all a very enjoyable game. The movement for gameplay is easy to get used to and intuitive. The game is not too difficult to play but in places, hard enough to be a challenge. In addition, at any checkpoint, you can play on easy, casual and hard, so if you get stuck, just start the game again and continue the gameplay on an easier level.

If you always wanted to play Tequila and kick some butt, then get this game as you’ll have a blast doing the slow motion, jumping over chairs, kicking tables etc. in true Woo style.

Customer Review: Better Than The Pro
The arcade is better than the core and comes with a 256mb memory card which is enough to save games and if your not going online then this the console for you. If you do need a bit more space you can buy a memory card 64mb, 256mb or 512mb or just get a hard drive from ?50 which is 20gb or ?100 for the 120gb (in my mind to much memory). Also dont worry about the red ring of death if you keep your 360 in a well ventilated area and give it breaks when it gets hot you wont have to worry.

Top Games:
Saints Row, Command and Conquer 3, Halo 3, Fifa 08, The Simpsons Game

All in all a very good console better than the PS3 which i also have so enjoy your gaming.

Customer Review: Want HD but don’t have plasma, but do have a PC?
Then buy this baby! I’ve set the Xbox 360 up next to the monitor, the cable is easy to switch around, and it enables you to see it all in its HD glory! Plus since its next to the PC you can connect it via an Ethernet cable and go on Xbox live! Or if the PC is wireless you can setup an ICS Bridge! Brilliant!
Customer Review: Who needs a expensive TV?
Brought this to use the xbox on my 22inch widescreen Iyama pc monitor. Firstly some brands come with the jack to put the left and right audio into one channel. Secondly buy this! The quality of the visual over a pc monitor hands down is more impressive than running it on a normal tv through the component or scart! Yes i have tried it two elites running next to each other one to my monitor and one to a 36 inch w/screen tv and there is a noticable difference! If the monitor comes with speakers I would recommend and external sound solution as most onboard speakers arent great but the cable does not distort the audio or visual signals either way and also on this cable is the option of plugging in a optical cable for even better sound! Buy this a half decent pc monitor and an xbox and it probably comes to the same amount as a decent HD tv!

U plug it in and it works that’s all u need to know. usb and is quite good for your money. good buy!
Customer Review: The best accessory for any 360 owner
This is absolute essential if you bought a premium pack or a wireless controller. Your 360 control pad will last 30 hours on fresh AA batteries but, what you don’t want, is to be in the middle of a battle on your favourite game only for a “Please reconnect controller” message to pop up. This simple cable completely removes the need to buy batteries ever again. Your on screen battery indicator (Guide blade) will tell you when your pad is running low then you simply plug one end of the cable into an available USB port on your console and the other in the top of the controller to recharge your battery whilst playing! Simply brilliant!

Battlestations: Midway (Xbox 360) Customer Review: Worst game I have ever played!!! (except Catwoman…)
I got this game with my 360 yesterday. I had a choice between this game and pro evo 6, as im no fan of football and dont like the games i stupidly chose Battlestation Midway.WHAT A MISTAKE!!! at first i put the disk in and selected US campain. The controls are ok but like someone else has already said u cant move and use binoculars at the same time very well without crashing. The graphics are not really up to my expectations for a 360 game either, the sea is bland and flat and the vehicles dont look anything special although the sky does look pretty realistic. Now for the worst bit the fps (frames per second) On a certain mission u use an aircraft carrier ship and u deploy planes which u can fly. I liked the plane bit the best coz its quite fun flying around but as soon as u deploy a few more planes (like about 3) the fps turns abmisally jerky. You need to drop bombs on a japenese ship but the framerate is so slow that when u hover perfectly over the ship and drop a bomb the framerate cant catch up with u and u end up missing. Also when ur flying, u cant make sudden turns coz its SOOOO slow and jerky. It totally ruined my experience of a first 360 game. DONT BUY!! ITS A WASTE OF MONEY!!! hpfully other 360 games are better and more fluid…
Customer Review: Navy In Your Hand!
Now this techniqually is the first attempt at WW2 naval combat. And they have done this in such an amazing way!

Im a big fan of WW2 games, and even i was getting tired of the same old aerial, and ground combat games like, Call of Duty, and Blazing Angels, so the smart men of Eidos thought, well lets take this to the pacific ocean!

At the height of the war in the pacific where the great nation of America fights the Japanese imperial armies, now i remember theres not even many ground combat games for the war in the pacific, the only one i really remember is MOH Rising Sun, and that in some cases was unsuccessful. Naval Warfare on the other hand can be, if you know what’s going on, now the japanese navy wasn’t amazing, but it was formidable, so that gives some insight into the pacific theatre of war.

Ok then, enough history, now for the fun, the ships are BEAUTIFUL! i love them to bits, from the little torpedo boats, to the aircraft carriers of the amercian navy, re-live the battles you had only seen in Nval warfare films, and footage. Carriers- Without them, USA wouldn’t have done so well, though proving extremly easy targets, they have formidable flak coverage. And Also has the capacity of Fighters, Fighter Bombers, and Dive Bombers!
You send these planes out in three squadrons, of 3, which are unique in there own way!

Battleships-Destroyers- The brunt of the Navy, the Battleship!, powerful guns, and the speed of a turtle, these titans are amazingly powerful in the right tactical way! Remember, these also prove Large targets, but have again a powerful Flak coverage.

The work hourse of the Navy, and my personal fav, the Destroyer, nimble, and powerful, this ship provides accurate, shorter ranged fire, but if stcuj in a difficult postion has the speed, and just about enough fire to get you the hell out!

Submarine- Sneaky, and very powerful, set the sub to a depth and chose your victim, launch upto 4 torpedoe’s a time, but remember, theres and oxygen count, and you will surface, making you very vulnerable.

The planes, useful for attacking airfields, and Naval facilities, Fighters intercept other fighters, or dive bombers, and fighter bombers. The dive bomber, launches a torpedo in the hull of a ship, and remember there’s a squad of three planes with you and they will fire along with you. You can track the torpedo into the hull of the ship. But to do this you must reduce speed, and get to an angle which would hit the ship, making you a sitting duck!
And to finish off, the Fighter Bomber, useful for taking out Aifields and Nval shipyards, like the name you go into a steep dive, and at the right moment release your bomb onto the target, and yes you follow the bomb, and your other teammates will release on time with yours!

Multiplayer!

With great Power comes a great mulitplayer capability, and this is shown on Midway, everyone takes a position on board, like for example, one player, would take one naval shipyard on the amercian team, and another player would take the naval shipyard on next to the first, sending a total of 4 ships out a time! (The same goes for the other side!)

When it all hits off your thinking of what to do, and its hard, no one is following a tactial route, so you must use your units, and find a way to out think, and out match your ememy, this may not always be the case though, overall the multiplayer is fantastic, with an array of vehicles at your disposal!

Battlestations: Midway (Xbox 360) Customer Review: Worst game I have ever played!!! (except Catwoman…)
I got this game with my 360 yesterday. I had a choice between this game and pro evo 6, as im no fan of football and dont like the games i stupidly chose Battlestation Midway.WHAT A MISTAKE!!! at first i put the disk in and selected US campain. The controls are ok but like someone else has already said u cant move and use binoculars at the same time very well without crashing. The graphics are not really up to my expectations for a 360 game either, the sea is bland and flat and the vehicles dont look anything special although the sky does look pretty realistic. Now for the worst bit the fps (frames per second) On a certain mission u use an aircraft carrier ship and u deploy planes which u can fly. I liked the plane bit the best coz its quite fun flying around but as soon as u deploy a few more planes (like about 3) the fps turns abmisally jerky. You need to drop bombs on a japenese ship but the framerate is so slow that when u hover perfectly over the ship and drop a bomb the framerate cant catch up with u and u end up missing. Also when ur flying, u cant make sudden turns coz its SOOOO slow and jerky. It totally ruined my experience of a first 360 game. DONT BUY!! ITS A WASTE OF MONEY!!! hpfully other 360 games are better and more fluid…
Customer Review: Navy In Your Hand!
Now this techniqually is the first attempt at WW2 naval combat. And they have done this in such an amazing way!

Im a big fan of WW2 games, and even i was getting tired of the same old aerial, and ground combat games like, Call of Duty, and Blazing Angels, so the smart men of Eidos thought, well lets take this to the pacific ocean!

At the height of the war in the pacific where the great nation of America fights the Japanese imperial armies, now i remember theres not even many ground combat games for the war in the pacific, the only one i really remember is MOH Rising Sun, and that in some cases was unsuccessful. Naval Warfare on the other hand can be, if you know what’s going on, now the japanese navy wasn’t amazing, but it was formidable, so that gives some insight into the pacific theatre of war.

Ok then, enough history, now for the fun, the ships are BEAUTIFUL! i love them to bits, from the little torpedo boats, to the aircraft carriers of the amercian navy, re-live the battles you had only seen in Nval warfare films, and footage. Carriers- Without them, USA wouldn’t have done so well, though proving extremly easy targets, they have formidable flak coverage. And Also has the capacity of Fighters, Fighter Bombers, and Dive Bombers!
You send these planes out in three squadrons, of 3, which are unique in there own way!

Battleships-Destroyers- The brunt of the Navy, the Battleship!, powerful guns, and the speed of a turtle, these titans are amazingly powerful in the right tactical way! Remember, these also prove Large targets, but have again a powerful Flak coverage.

The work hourse of the Navy, and my personal fav, the Destroyer, nimble, and powerful, this ship provides accurate, shorter ranged fire, but if stcuj in a difficult postion has the speed, and just about enough fire to get you the hell out!

Submarine- Sneaky, and very powerful, set the sub to a depth and chose your victim, launch upto 4 torpedoe’s a time, but remember, theres and oxygen count, and you will surface, making you very vulnerable.

The planes, useful for attacking airfields, and Naval facilities, Fighters intercept other fighters, or dive bombers, and fighter bombers. The dive bomber, launches a torpedo in the hull of a ship, and remember there’s a squad of three planes with you and they will fire along with you. You can track the torpedo into the hull of the ship. But to do this you must reduce speed, and get to an angle which would hit the ship, making you a sitting duck!
And to finish off, the Fighter Bomber, useful for taking out Aifields and Nval shipyards, like the name you go into a steep dive, and at the right moment release your bomb onto the target, and yes you follow the bomb, and your other teammates will release on time with yours!

Multiplayer!

With great Power comes a great mulitplayer capability, and this is shown on Midway, everyone takes a position on board, like for example, one player, would take one naval shipyard on the amercian team, and another player would take the naval shipyard on next to the first, sending a total of 4 ships out a time! (The same goes for the other side!)

When it all hits off your thinking of what to do, and its hard, no one is following a tactial route, so you must use your units, and find a way to out think, and out match your ememy, this may not always be the case though, overall the multiplayer is fantastic, with an array of vehicles at your disposal!

Customer Review: Perfection
Brilliant, am using to play gears of war on my pc. Absolutely no lag. If you already own a xbox 360 controller look no further. Just a note; it is only designed to work with games for windows games.
Customer Review: Great item
I have had my xbox 360 for a while now and have 2 wireless controllers. I used to have 1 wired which I used on my PC but traded that in for a wireless one. I really missed the 360 controller on my PC which is why I bought this item. It is really worth the money. Of course it would have been nice to be able to use my built in bluetooth if they were bluetooth, but that has nothing to do with this product really. It was really easy to set up and I am really pleased playing all my emulators and pc games with it. The downside to this product is that when I connect my controllers, they are disconnected from my 360, so I need to re-sync them to both PC and 360 whenever I switch between the 2. Also, I haven’t found a way to switch the controller off when using on the PC.

Customer Review: What a load…
Thought id buy this badboy to ‘extend’ the life of my 360. it did exactly the opposite, it was working fine for a few weeks maybe a couple of months and then one day it started making VERY loud noises when I booted the 360 up, it did that for a while but I never thought anything of it until one day I got 1 red light.. still i continued to use the cooler and then BAM…. 3 red rings of death… took the thing off and have not had any problems with my 360 since…
Customer Review: Its dosen’t work but there is a way to fix your xbox 360 yourself i did it
Ok i bought this inter cooler and after 2 weeks three red lights. So i went online to see if i can fix it and alot of offers where you have to pay to download a online guide on how to fix your xbox 360 came up but i ignored them. Then I went on YOU TUBE and they show you a way where all you do is turn the xbox on wrap it with a bath towel two or three towels and leave it for 20 minutes then come back remove the towels and turn the xbox of for about 10 minutes to cool down then turn it back on and it should be working. I was so happy when this happened and decided to write this review. What it does is reset the chip in the xbox 360. So whenever the red lights of death come on i use that trick to fix it.

Customer Review: Better Than The Pro
The arcade is better than the core and comes with a 256mb memory card which is enough to save games and if your not going online then this the console for you. If you do need a bit more space you can buy a memory card 64mb, 256mb or 512mb or just get a hard drive from ?50 which is 20gb or ?100 for the 120gb (in my mind to much memory). Also dont worry about the red ring of death if you keep your 360 in a well ventilated area and give it breaks when it gets hot you wont have to worry.

Top Games:
Saints Row, Command and Conquer 3, Halo 3, Fifa 08, The Simpsons Game

All in all a very good console better than the PS3 which i also have so enjoy your gaming.

Skate (Xbox 360)

January 12, 2008 | By Doug In Xbox360 | Comments(0)


Skate (Xbox 360)
Customer Review: Underwhelming and Counterintuitive
Everything about this game just feels a bit wrong. I bought it yesterday and am trading it in for Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground tomorrow. The way in which you have to press a button to push for speed takes so long that by the time you get to where you want to do the trick you are not going fast enough so you have to scramble to get your thumb to the ‘flickit’ control and because it is so counter-intuitive and difficult to use you fall every time and if you miss on a run to an object you have to do a massive wheel to turn around, or a powerslide which makes you lose all your momentum meaning you have to build up speed again, causing the same problem. The camera angle is horrendous pointing from some point behind your knees so you can’t see where you are going. For any fans of THPS who thought about buying this instead of Proving Ground as an alternative, don’t it’s not worth the money.

Stranglehold (Xbox 360)

January 12, 2008 | By Doug In Xbox360 | Comments(0)


Stranglehold (Xbox 360)
Companies are always going on about the synergy between movies and video games, but all this really ever seems to mean is lots of dreadful movie tie-ins where all the money has been spent on celebrity voiceovers. Stranglehold is different though, in that it’s essentially a sequel to 1992’s classic movie Hard Boiled, made purely for video games. This time Inspector “Tequila” Yuen is unleashing his unorthodox policing methods on Russian crime bosses in both Hong Kong and Chicago. It stars the likeness of original lead Chow Yun Fat and has been developed with hands-on help from director John Woo - who it turns out does seem to know a thing or two about video games.

Of course video games have been ripping off John Woo for years, particularly his trademark slow motion shots of two-handed pistol action. As a result this initially seems dangerously similar to Max Payne et al., but the graphical power of the next generation consoles and PC ensures that this is a far more dynamic and interactive affair. Not only can you make use of a bullet time effect (call “Tequila time” here) to slow down time around you but almost all of the scenery can be used too, from sliding down banisters guns firing to scooting across the room on top of a waiter’s trolley. The damage done as you go is truly impressive, with tiles shattering off the walls, chandeliers impaling bad guys as they fall and electric wires and water mains unhinging themselves everywhere. Making a mess has never been so much fun.

Customer Review: Great game, poisoned by the storyline.
This Game is fantastic for first time players. Great visuals, a Max Payne like presence all around when you utilize some of the fantastic mouth watering special attacks.

You play as well renowned actor Chow Yun Fat, and the game is intended to be a sequel to the hit movie: “Hard Boiled”. The game achieves this to some extent, as i can see the definate similarities from film to game, however the joy ends when one focuses on the storyline.

The storyline suffers with its lack of depth, and its somewhat incoherent and frustrating jumps between places. The game on a whole is a joy to play, but the average gamer may feel asif the fun has ended a little too early.

Another thing which brings the game off its pedestal is the Frustrating difficulty level, you could find yourself dead within seconds in some areas, or you might not die at all, it all depends on how you play the game, i decided to use the special attacks less throughout the game.

The “barrage” attack can dispense bosses on even the hardest difficulty level which can be frustrating for the die hard shoot-em-up fan, because in my opinion the bosses fall short of the challenge intended. One of the special attacks i enjoyed to utilize frequently was the “Precision Aim”, where the character fires a bullet with pinpoint accuracy from a helpful zoom screen, the enemy which is struck with the bullet then reacts accordingly with where they were struck.

Overall i would recommend this game to people who are looking for action over depth, Stranglehold in its entirety is a diamond in the rough, which has been let down by badly structured storylines and a disappointing ending.

Customer Review: True Woo Style gameplay - challenging but not too difficult - shame about multiplayer though
For those of you who love John Woo films and his artistic style, this game is for you. The game character Tequila is the character from the movie Hard Boiled (played by Chow Yun Fat) - a badass cop who doesn’t mind bending the rules to put bad guys away. As in the movie Hard Boiled, the action scenes are wonderfully played out with a mix of slow motion and manic gun fights or exposions. In this game Stranglehold, this is no exception.

The feature of the game is that you can slow time down for a limited period of time allowing you to aim more precisely and kill more bad guys. You’ll find that you want to dive often where time is automatically slowed down (just like in Hard Boiled!!).

You can also run along banisers, chairs, walls etc which is great fun and I really like being able to jump off a wall, kick it and fire my guns falling backwards and also jumping onto a trolley and killing peole as your coast along (also in Hard Boiled in the Hospital). John Woo’s trademark is the used throughout the game like the use of two pistols, Woo time (slow motion) and close encouter gunfights, and sliding across tables etc. In the extra’s, you can go to a shop with John Woo as the salesman and buy extras after earning them during gameplay.

Similar to Devil May Cry for the PS2, you have Style points and combo points, so the more you kill people with style (e.g. sliding down a banister and killing guys) the more points you gain. Your points are contributed to ‘Tequila Bomb gauge’ that fills up. As you progress along the game you unlock 4 specials. When the first quarter fills, you have the option of a health boost; the second precision aim (allows a zoom in to bad guys for distance shots); the third quarter allows Tequila to fill up with bullets on whatever weapon he is holding and then blast away very, very quickly without diminishing your ammo count; the final quarter filled up allows Tequila to do a special move, spinning on the spot to kill bad guys (which is really cool to watch).

As in Hard Boiled paper cranes make an appearance. You can collect these throughout the game to increase the ‘Tequila Bomb gauge’ immediately to help you get to those special moves quickly.

There is a multiplayer option but so far I don’t think I’ve come across anyone on it yet. Maybe I’ll take a look on the XBOX forums to see who’s interested in some gaming.

All in all a very enjoyable game. The movement for gameplay is easy to get used to and intuitive. The game is not too difficult to play but in places, hard enough to be a challenge. In addition, at any checkpoint, you can play on easy, casual and hard, so if you get stuck, just start the game again and continue the gameplay on an easier level.

If you always wanted to play Tequila and kick some butt, then get this game as you’ll have a blast doing the slow motion, jumping over chairs, kicking tables etc. in true Woo style.
