Thoughts?

Graphics are pretty good but I can't really do the maze levels.

Rather than copy-and-paste it here (because I'm lazy), I'll just link to the review I wrote a few years ago.

Basically, it isn't a horrible game, but it's pretty repetitive and doesn't really feel anything like a video game version of the movie.

You don't remember the scenes where McClane has to fight his way through the forest and then wade through a swamp before he gets to Nakatomi Plaza?  :mrgreen:

Ha!  Perhaps it'd make a good plot for a Die Hard prequel..... good by the Hollywood yardstick used to measure most prequels and reboots anyway.

I wish there was more variety of music. Would help somewhere with the overall repetitiveness. I still whack it in from time to time. Not the worst game. I cant get past a boss that sits on top and throws things down.

That's Heinrich, and he is throwing plastic explosives at you. You interrupted him (his task was to set and prime all the plastic explosives for his boss, Hans Gruber).

I got lazy and decided to watch a video walkthrough for the Stage 3 Maze.



I also wrote down the order of the doors, so other folks can play through this pretty good game with ease.

Yeah, that part pissed me off the first times I played that game. And then, I decided to just read what McClane says and it suddenly became crystal clear !
