One of the things I think is impressive about Die Hard is the open-ended levels. What’s also annoying is when you get off an elevator at the beginning of a level and are immediately shot by nearby terrorists.
You can be firing at a bad guy and then John stops to reload and gets shot during that time which is really annoying. For the most part, it’s not a problem but what is a problem is not being able to reload manually. There is no crosshair or reticle so you have to line John up correctly so you can hit what you’re shooting at. The baddies with machine guns in particular can be a real bitch. I found that always moving is the best way to avoid taking damage during a firefight.ĭie Hard is a tough game because you’re always outnumbered and because enemies can drain your health pretty quickly. You need to be careful and sidestepping and rolling can be a big help. The HUD will also indicate when enemies are aiming at John. The minimap on your HUD will show you the locations of enemies and hostages. John is always outnumbered, although there’s significantly more terrorists in the game than there are in the film. For example, I would often run near them and they didn’t notice me and if they do spot you, you can just run to cover or to a different room and they won’t chase you. However, you can shoot into the darkness and kill enemies which I found to be one of the best and safest strategies in the game and, luckily, the enemy AI isn’t very bright. The draw distance sucks so you can only see a few feet in front of you and then it’s just darkness. In the beginning I would usually lose my last life in level four or five. It took me several attempts to make any significant progress. It is a challenging game and if you practice you’ll get better. There’s almost twenty levels in Die Hard and that does not include the bonus levels. If you lose all your health, you lose a life. Once all of the terrorists in a level are eliminated, a bomb is triggered and you must find it in time to I guess defuse it and escape to the next level. Shooting hostages will subtract points from your score and some of the hostages in the later levels can turn out to be terrorists. You’re not required to save all the hostages but if you’re going for a high score, you earn extra points for rescuing them.

Once you free a hostage they will try to escape but can be shot by terrorists. You will come across hostages you can rescue and pickups like food, health, and body armor. John is equipped with a handgun with infinite ammo but can acquire other weapons with limited ammo. You can run around, sidestep, roll, and jump.
I think a light gun would have been better but I was surprised at how the controller worked.ĭie Hard is set in the Nakatomi building and your goal is to eliminate all of the terrorists in each level. Regardless, I got used to aiming with the d-pad and I would say the standard controller works pretty well. Most of the information I found on the PlayStation version leads me to believe it doesn’t support light guns at all but I can’t really confirm since so we don’t have any to try. However, I’ve read it does work with certain branded ones and a mouse. From what I researched, the Saturn version of Die Hard 2 does support the Stuner light gun but the PlayStation version does not support the popular light guns released for the system. Die Hard is a third-person shooter, Die Hard 2 is a light-gun style rail shooter, and Vengeance is like a driving game. When you fire up the collection, you can pick which game you want to play and all three are single player only which is kind of a shame. You will earn points in each game and can set high scores. I guess I would consider Trilogy to be an arcade style collection. McClane and other characters will speak and shout during gameplay and you’ll hear some of the classic lines from the films. You’ll play as John McClane in all three and I believe he’s accompanied by Zeus in Vengeance but you don’t actually see the characters. Each one’s premise is based on their respective films but they’re not one-to-one re-creations and the voice acting is pretty awful but humorous. Die Hard Trilogy is a collection of three games based on the first three films and each one features a different gameplay style.ĭie Hard Trilogy features three separate games Die Hard, Die Hard 2, and Die Hard With A Vengeance. For this review, I played the PlayStation version.

Developed by Probe Entertainment, Die Hard Trilogy was released for the PlayStation in August, 1996 and Saturn and PC in December of that same year. My friends and I were watching Die Hard and as I was watching, I was thinking of what game I could play for a Christmas review and then it hit me.
