Gamers excited at the prospect of taking control of Inspector Tequila can do so around a month before the game hits stores thanks to a new demo which made its way onto Xbox LIVE Marketplace today.

The 1.28GB single-player demo should provide a glimpse at what to expect from the final game, presenting players with cinematic action sequences set within a fully destructible Hong Kong marketplace.

Stranglehold is scheduled for release on Xbox 360 and PC on September 7 with the PS3 version currently expected to arrive in stores two weeks later on September 21.
