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:

No but full disclosure: I haven't seen the "Director's Cut" version...

NES version is better.

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.

It's the poor man's Bloody Wolf.

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.
6/10

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 !
