IGN gave it a rating of 8.1 out of 10 for its cinematic flair and melodrama in the storyline true to the style of John Woo, enjoyable battles, and slick presentation. However, they said that the visuals were lacking, the game was too short, and inauthentic because the characters do not speak Cantonese.<sup> </sup>Empire Online gave it a 4 out of 5, also praising its "dynamic action", as well its "bombastic soundtrack" and "slick visuals".<sup> </sup>GamerNode gave the game an 8.5 out of 10, calling it the "ultimate guy's game." GameSpot gave ''Stranglehold'' a 7.0 out of 10, stating that although the game is solid in every department, it is repetitive, due to a short seven-hour single-player game and weak multiplayer.<sup> </sup>As well, Electronic Gaming Monthly stated that Stranglehold was "a game whose movie influences are more than skin deep."
