Hard Boiled movie not in HD quality. November 2, 2007

I bought the PS3 Stranglehold Collector's Edition because it includes one of my favorite movie Hard Boiled in Blu-ray. The movie is a classic for action lover. I was very disappointed that the movie is only not in HD quality but it look worse than the Dragon Dynasty DVD version. Shame on Sony and Midway.
The game otherwise is a lot of fun to play. 9/10
 Movie quality a HUGE disappointment! November 9, 2007

This review is only for the movie that's included on the game disc.
I mainly purchased this title for the "Hard Boiled" movie included on the Blu-Ray disc. The movie is a classic, but I am sad to say that I am very disappointed in it's quality...given it's on Blu-Ray HD. Not what I expected at all! The picture quality (sharpness and detail) is pretty good for a 15 year-old movie, but the color definitely needs to be enhanced. The soundtrack is a joke! It comes through my receiver as Dolby Digital 5.1, but it is only in stereo. My center channel and rear surround speakers never came on. All dialog are through the front surrounds. Some have claimed the picture was chopped to fit widescreens. I cannot confirm this as I do not have the DVD copy, but it does not look chopped to me. In short, this movie was not remastered at all for the Blu-Ray transfer as advertised. Hands down the worst Blu-Ray movie quality I've seen! If you're getting this title for the movie, you will definitely be disappointed.
 Buy this game! It's amazing. September 11, 2007

So, I downloaded the demo from the Playstation network yesterday. The download took all night. I thought, what the heck, I might as well try it during breakfast, for just a few minutes. I had so much fun, I ended up being late for work! It was so worth it.
This is a pretty incredible game. The graphics are amazing. The cut scenes look the most natural of any that I have seen, and the game play is stellar. You can slow the action down using Tequila time (this is the same as Max Payne -- everything goes Sepia, and things slow waaaay down. It runs out fast, though so you have to be careful.)
Pretty much everything is breakable and the physics are stellar. It is a lot of fun sliding across tables holding items such as apples and seeing each of the individual apples fly out of the basket and everything come crashing to the ground, for example. Everything is breakable, too, from the signs hanging above doors to gas cans in the market.
John Woo was involved with this game, and you can tell. If you have ever seen one of his movies, you'll recognize his touch.
This isn't a game for the kids. There is a LOT of blood and guts. Head shots splatter, for example.
If you aren't a kid, but are a fan of hardcore and thrilling action, this game is definitely for you! I'd suggest the Collector's Edition. For a few bucks more you get the Blu-ray version of Hard Boiled, John Woo's last movie in Hong Kong.
What I'd pay: Full Price. As soon as possible.

Wish I'd waited for this nice Amazon price drop, because the game's pretty short, but this is one of those games that's so fun, I gotta come back for more. And the Hard Boiled movie, whether it's HD quality or not, is one of the greatest action films ever. This game does that movie justice, so much insane killing going on it's just ridiculous. I always discover more, increasingly innovative ways to destroy everyone on screen.
Amazon's deal for this game right now makes it completely worth it.
