change res
thx iamwin , confirmed working here!
dont touch the inis just edit the link to the game.
here the full path considering default install dir (vista 32)
"C:\Program Files\Midway Games\Stranglehold Demo\Binaries\MCELauncher.exe" Retail-Stranglehold.exe -language=eng -ResX=1600 -ResY=1200
to remove the movie at the end
To remove the annoying advertisment movie at the end of the demo just rename/remove "intro_Attract_Loop.bik" from "movies" folder.

Actually, the resolution alone being fixed makes it a nice looking game. I personally think it looks great, and yes by the way, we can use AA by renaming it bioshock.exec (nvidia users).
IF they allow us to remap controls
and IF they give us graphics options
AND ALSO IF THEY SUPPORT THE X360 CONTROLLER ON PC
This has the potential to be a solid game. Not an amazing game, but a solid one. The gameplay is definaitly as fun as max payne 2.

DAMN this game is pure shitty crap , textures are washed up , game has a locked resolution and all settings set to HIGH *its editable by InI but its a standard in every game to configure IT IN-GAME not by try and error edit files like a gibbering idiot to find the right settings*, game is made up of HD movies (all game cuts scenes - they where forced by the console limitations that shows its a quicky port) and the actual game which is based on one simple scheme : go though a corridor to a room that will be locked , then kill all spawning enemies , door opens , go though a corridor , bullet time battle , repeat ....and all this on 7 levels , makes this a 4-5h game for a game that takes 15gigs this is ridiculous
And another thing looks like they never heard about something like - optimizing

This game has a lot of fruit in it, and it made me dizzy.

Absolutely true! I've expected more of this game, but I'm totally disappointed! 
If the full version is that unoptimized like the demo, then this game don't even deserve to be cracked  (yeah, probably the full version wouldn't be optimized)  |

Unoptimized? It looks like shit and runs as smooth. I get 60+ fps on 1680.
Look at the wall behind Mr. Fat. It should be covered with normal maps just like the pigs. Well it is, on the X360. This can't be max detail. *lol*

Why is it the new necessity to have annoying obnoxious music during an installation with no option to turn it off... |

This isn't new.. I remember cursing at the installer back in Thief, if I'm not mistaken. Devs think we all want to hear their uber-cool music even during install. |

I've had the demo 5 minutes and already I quite. Can't change the resolutions, tried through the ini and now the game just crashes and I changed it back to what it was and still crashes. Can't change their shitty layout controls, shitty music. Fuck midway and their suck skills at making a proper demo. |

And they withdrew it like how many times, and for what? To make it 'better' lulz.
Hopefully full will be a better game...

I was probably the only one that wasn't hyped about this crap. Now I know I was right. Developers had better watch their bullshit with fuckin up ports or their gunna be in for a big surprise when people stop buying their shit. |

Console game isn't much better, is it? I guess it was crap all around. They aimed way too high with all the destructible environments and had to dumb down graphics to shit. And gameplay, well, it ain't that bad...

It was dumbed down to it being on a console and it only being able to handle so much. Then of course they just straight port their SHIT to us without putting any effort into it. This is the last time I bother with a console port unless it's down by a developer who has a clue. |

I guess it is an unpopular opinion around here, but i really liked. Yeah it doesnt look like GoW, but it runs great, and it is a nice distraction from all the tactical (or at least trying to be tactical) shooters that are coming out. It is john woo style, turn off your brains and enjoy, be it a movie or the video game. I just enjoyed shooting nonstop (who needs reloads, 120 bullet clips FTW), but the demo was short, i think i beat it in 10 minutes, and the freaking download is 2gigs. I will download (who am i kidding i download everything that has a gun in it), but i would think twice before buying it.

Spykez;
"C:\Program Files\Midway Games\Stranglehold Demo\Binaries\Retail-Stranglehold.exe" -language=eng -ResX=1440 -ResY=900
Forcing AA does not work, nor does renaming exec (or the nhancer stuff, which basically does the same).
This is a fairly straight port, but it's a nice little max payne clone to keep me busy for a lil bit. Would never buy a game like this, not enough effort put into it.

Lol, I found it pretty enjoyable, but I would have liked gamepad support. I'll download it for sure, the gameplay is fine, it just needed a god damn gfx menu.

The console version is better, but only in the same way that the majority of console ports are better on the original platform.
