THREE games for the price of one? Let’s hope that other games developers follow in Fox Interactive’s wake!
Die Hard Trilogy is a set of games based on the popular Die Hard movies. Each of the three movies is mirrored here with a corresponding game. Playing as Detective John McClane, you’ll be shooting up terrorists in a towering skyscraper, then shooting up terrorists at an airport – can you do better than Bruce Willis?
Finally, for a break from shooting people, you’ll be driving through New York City looking for terrorists!
Die Hard, the first game, places you in the underground parking lot of the Nakatomi Plaza, a huge building of 20 floors filled with hostages and terrorists. You have to clear the floor of the baddies, rescue all the hostages, and then disarm a bomb. Finished the first level? Great; only 19 more to go.
The action is viewed from above, similar to Tomb Raider and Crusader: No Regret, with your character running around blazing away. He starts out with a pistol, but soon finds grenades and heavy weapons. You can make him jump, roll, and sidestep his way into and, hopefully, out of danger.
The detail is very good, with cars, rooms, desks, and computers though the game only draws a small area at a time. If you go into a room or behind a pillar, the walls become transparent, so you can always see where you are.
Die Hard 2: Die Harder sees you arrive just in time to become involved in a massive shootout at Dulles Airport.
Die Hard Trilogy 2 (Fox 1998) B+ 12102000 The first Die Hard Trilogy game was a huge hit, but that was released when the Playstation was still fairly new. This game on the other hand, came out much later and didnt much media
In the best traditions of arcade shoot-em-ups, you must shoot first, ask questions later.
Die Hard Trilogy (Fox 1996) A 7151999 Die Hard Trilogy is an incredible value, considering you get three completely different games, including a third person shooter, a light gun shooter, and a driving game. And each of them are
The action here involves aiming your gun and blazing away as the computer moves you around the airport. Terrorists pop up from behind desks, jump down stairs, and shoot through windows. You have only a little time before they aim and blast you away. There are civilians everywhere, so be careful where you shoot.
The action here is fast and furious. There are often half a dozen terrorists lining you up at once, so you have to be quick. Luckily you can pick up power-ups for heavy weapons every so often.
Die Hard With a Vengeance puts you behind the wheel of some powerful cars in New York City. It seems that there are bombs scattered around the city, and you have to find each one before it blows. This involves a lot of high-speed driving through the packed streets, parks, and tunnels of New York.
You only have a certain amount of time before each bomb goes off, though you can drive over power-ups that give you extra time, for example turbo power.
You start off in a yellow cab, but can change cars every so often within the city. The action is viewed either from within the car, or via a “chase” view.
The graphics here are quite neat, with pedestrians dodging for cover, occasional parkland and trees, but mostly you’re in urban wasteland, with grotty tenement buildings and trash everywhere.
The Die Hard Trilogy box states that it requires a Pentium 120 PC, 16 megabytes of Ram, double-speed CD-Rom drive, and Windows 95.
It supports 3-D graphics cards, MMX technology, and a variety of joysticks, gamepads and soundcards. It recommends a Pentium 166 with 3-D card.
Die Hard Trilogy is quite a fun arcade game, good for a sit down and blow-everything-up gaming session. I enjoyed the Die Hard game best; it’s quite fun stalking up to the bad guys, then rolling into their midst, tossing a grenade, and rolling out again. Instant mayhem!
