Die Hard Trilogy

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.

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.

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.

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!
