User Rating: 8.4 | Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza PC
If you have seen the first movie Die Hard and liked it, this is a game for you. The theme is nearly exactly like the movie. Even the lines the actors used are the same. "Yippie Kyeah, Mother F**ker" was not over used, most all the lines are there. I feel the GS review did not do this game justice. Maybe the "only the most die-hard Die Hard fans should pick up this game", was a bit much and immediately turned off a boatload of folks. They could have done a better job of choosing the voice-over to more closely fit the characters, but the voices of the bad guys are in a the right foreign dialect. John's (Bruce Willis) voice is close. Consider the game's inherent individualities; John was left handed (so is your FPS image), the weaponry was what was in the movie, from handguns to Steyr Aug in 5.56 mm. Explosives need to be shoved down an elevator that takes out entire floors of the Nakatomi Plaza. The rooftop is wired to blow; so you have to use the fire hose to jump off the building and shoot the glass out windows to re-enter a room. John is shoe-less, like the movie, so watch out for the glass on the floor and acquire plenty of bandages for foot first aid. After killing one of the first terrorist, John attempts to use the terrorist's footwear, but remarks something like, "only I would shot a terrorist with feet the size of my sister's". As one shoots "Han's" terrorists they just get more pissed, and there are many more of them than in the movie. There is a lot of conversation over a two-way radio network. Saving hostages is a main concern (shooting them would also be bad). The game play is linear, but then one does not get lost as easy. If one is not sure where to go, when the terrorists start shooting, chances are you have not been there. The learning curve was not too steep to play the game. The graphics were very acceptable (no Far Cry or Doom 3), but this game is not of the same calibre as the latest and greatest either. I did find that once an area was secured, it would not be unusual to find yourself traversing it again, but for a different reason. You not only have the terrorists, but the SWAT team coming in is a problem, since you should not be shooting them (good guys). The price of the game was reasonable and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. The game play prompted me to watch the movie again. Both are great!
