Want to dive over, under, between scenery in slow motion and take out the bad guys, well you can. Want to shoot a fuel tank and destroy a building and all it's occupants? Well you can. Want to run down or up a banister while blasting away with dual sub-machine guns? Well you can. But it's the action and the moves you have that make the game standout over other games of this genre.

The game is a straight up shooter viewed from a 3rd person point. You can pretty much do anything you have seen in a John Woo action picture and more besides. You play as Inspetor Yuen or as he is also known 'Tequila', and yes that is Yun-Fat Chow (AKA Chow Yun-Fat) reprising the role via lending not only his voice but also his likeness. The important thing here is game-play.and there is lots of it. There is a story in the game somewhere.but it's irrelevant and not actually connected to 'Hard Boiled' so I'll not dwell on it. It's over the top, it's inordinately violent, it's.it's, well it's John Woo. You are promised a 'John Woo experience' and that is exactly what you get. This game is non-stop action from start to end. So why make a 'sequel' to a great film.but make that 'sequel' a game? Well, mainly due to the fact it was a great idea. Woo is at directing action, it is also the genesis of films like The Matrix, etc with is revolutionary action sequences and use of ballet like slow-motion. 'Hard Boiled' was the film that proved just how great Mr. Stranglehold is the 'sequel' to Jhon Woo's masterpiece of film-making that is 'Lat sau san taam'.or 'Hard Boiled'. Even worse are games that are made as sequels to great films. Lend a famous (or infamous) game it's rights and you'll end up with a horrible game that sells purely off the back of it's name *cough* Matrix.
