Plot:
In recent days in Hong Kong, a policeman disappears mysteriously. The police department is concerned about the disappearance until receiving a phone call from an unknown person who knows what happened and who seems to demand a ransom. The request of the kidnappers takes a single officer to the place of a market located in Kowloon. Tequila voluntarily accepts the work and must fight with the Russian mafia and Chinese mafia from the markets of Hong Kong to the museums in Chicago.
One of the most outstanding features in this game is the "Tequila Time" which is
Inspector Tequila´s advantage for speed: by pressing a button the world around him slows down and allows a perfect aim and an unparalleled agility. In the game he manages to destroy everything he sees from signs up to the stone columns. The Tequila Time runs out using it but it generates again over time or even by carrying out style killings.
All in all, if you're a Hong Kong movie fan, you will enjoy this game.
