Die Hard Trilogy

Product Description You are John McClane and you must fight your way through three terrorist-ridden games in one. Creating 45 levels in all, this trilogy provides hours of gaming fun. In Die Hard , you must save a high-rise from eminent explosion. The "vanishing wall" feature ensures McClane is never out of sight as he navigates through obstacles, shooting at plants, walls, and anything in sight. Die Hard 2: Die Harder leads you to challenge terrorists in a hijacked airport. Build your own arsenal varying in power, response, ammo, and auto fire rate. The difficulty increases as your game progresses with terrorists at every turn. The detailed 3-D levels and true bullet hits help draw you in to this gaming action-adventure. Die Hard with a Vengeance leads you into a crowded city besieged with hidden terrorist bombs. Speed through the city, locating the bombs while the detonator ticks away. Drive over 15 different trucks to race to through a realistic New York cityscape. Be smart and be quick because time is running out. .com All too frequently, developers who try to incorporate multiple genres of gameplay into a single title fail miserably. Fortunately for gamers, Fox Interactive has successfully merged three distinct game styles into Die Hard Trilogy . This expansive action game faithfully follows the plots of the theatrical films--sans Bruce Willis. The game starts with a whimper rather than a bang, since the first game ( Die Hard ) is the worst of the bunch. In this action shooter sequence, you re-create John McClane's barefoot hostage rescue mission from the first film. While this game segment is fun in short doses, the run-and-gun gameplay ultimately gets repetitive. The second sequence Die Harder is much stronger. In fact, it is one of the best light-gun games available for the PlayStation. As with other light-gun action games, you must shoot objects as they quickly move across the screen. In this part of the game, you must shoot your way through the Dulles airport. You can play this portion of the game with the basic PlayStation controller, but we highly recommend that you invest in a light gun for maximum fun. Die Hard with a Vengeance concludes this game on a high note. This sequence consists of an incredibly fun (and bloody) driving game that takes place in a realistic city environment with traffic, pedestrians, and New York landmarks. As a whole, this collection represents one of the best values available for the PlayStation, provided you can stomach the over-the-top violence and copious bloodshed. --T. Byrl Baker Pros: 3 games in Excellent light-gun game Superb sound effects Cons: Graphics showing their age Occasional slowdown in all games P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100) }) }) Review Die Hard Trilogy delivers more than most would ever dream of even asking from a regularly-priced Playstation game. Not only are all three games hands-down good, but they're all also very big and replayable. Die Hard takes you through more than 15 brutally intense levels of the Nakatomi Plaza. But what separates Die Hard from a run-of-the-mill shooter is the need for strategy over firepower. Players must learn to hide John McClane behind walls, and out-think and ultimately ambush the enemy. This first installment of the trilogy is extremely challenging, and brute force just won't get McClane through it alive. Think of this game as a Resident Evil, only with more action and strategic elements. Action games simply don't get better. Die Hard 2 scrolls through every nook and cranny of Dulles International Airport. The mission is to blow away a horde of enemies en route to the final snowmobile chase. Die Hard 2 has the personality and punch most light-gun games lack, thanks in large part to the of the films and the wise-cracking McClane himself. But it's the fantastic set design that really transports you to Dulles. Think of this as Operation: Wolf and Virtua Cop, only better. Die Hard with a Vengeance puts virtually all of New York up for grabs: downtown, Central Park, and even the subway. The player's vehicle can do 90 degree swerves at the touch of a button. In other words, players are free to race at the highest speeds and make those impossible turns only seen in movies. The Bruce Willis sound-alike adds that special touch of Hollywood when he shouts, "I don't like to lose," "Somebody get me some aspirin," and that Die Hard classic, "Yippe-kai-ay!" The game's high-tension, ticking clock is extremely effective, and it's on-the-edge-of-your-seat action from start to finish while McClane mows down pedestrians to get to those bombs in time. The key to this collection is that each game soars to the top of its respective genre with sharp control, some of the best polygon graphics we've seen yet, and superior gameplay. One word of warning, however: All three games are fairly hard, and there's no adjusting the difficulty. That, combined with the outrageous violence (smashing into pedestrians and using your wipers to get the blood your windshield), makes Die Hard Trilogy inappropriate for young children. For older gamers, though, this is the cream of the crop of console action games, and easily one of the best ever. Yippe-kai-ay!!! --Hugh Sterbakov -- Copyright ��1999 GameSpot Inc.

Contains three separate games based on the trilogy of Bruce Willis smash-hit vehicles. In the first, you must rescue innocent hostages in a skyscraper that's wired to explode. In the second, the hostages are on board circling planes as you fight to eliminate airport terrorists. And in the third, your arena is all of New York City as you race the streets to find hidden bombs. Each adventure has it's own set of conditions, with amazing depth and fully-rendered detail over thirty levels.
