John Woo's Stanglehold

PS3
This demo had goods and bads. The character models were amazingly realistic. The demo itself even boasts "HD Gaming" on the title screen. And then the first cut scene started and the remaining world loaded. At that point the true game came out as sub-part at best. The worst of the offenders were the car models. When this car pulled in during a cut scene I thought I was playing GTA 3 again on the PS2 because of how blocky and horrible it looked. It totally clashed having a perfectly rendered character model giving dialog in front of a shitty rendered car.
So that aside the main gimmick of the game is "Tequila Time", which sadly doesn't involve drinking. You are told to basically do all sorts of dives, rolls, and stunts all while double fist shooting pistols at enemies. Pretty much you spend the entire game in these 3-4 second long slow motion scenes. Yay. <--sarcasm.
About 5 minutes in to the demo, the sound got scrambled and cut out. This left me with a half decent demo with no sound. I turned it off.
Verdict: The gimmick mechanic wasn't enough to make me want to buy this
