Hindering you in your race to save the city are the dreaded New York City traffic, pedestrians, and street vendors. Fortunately, you're in a New York City cab, so you're well equipped to take on the worst the city has to offer. If you find cabs dirty and dingy, don't worry; there are different cars parked in various lots around the city that you can "borrow.
Matter of fact, the school bus was my favorite vehicle since it easily powers over other cars and blocked streets. And it handled amazingly well -- pulling off s in crowded streets. All the while there is a timer on screen that reminds you when a bomb is about to explode, records the number of turbo boosts you have left, and shows the compass that points out the direction of the next bomb waiting to explode.
Defusing bombs is as simple as driving over them. After every bomb is located, there is a mini-cutscene showing its "safe detonation. To mix up the action a little, you do not just search the city for stationary explosives.
You encounter bomb-laden cars that lead to high-speed chases throughout the city. Ramming the car a few times is usually enough to destroy it. My favorite encounter was when I had to chase a hot dog truck literally -- it had a giant hot dog on the truck through Central Park, trying to destroy it before the timer expired.
Using the keyboard to control your car, high speed turns and quick s are easily accomplished with the touch of a button. These maneuvers are very necessary especially when chasing bomb cars. Other controls include turbo speed, helpful for catching up with enemy bomb cars or just racing through long avenues, a horn to dissuade pedestrians from crossing in front of you, and of course the typically unused brake.
To change your view, a simple press of the Z button will change from a first person inside view of your car to an outside, chase camera angle. Some special pickups that you encounter are extra time awards, turbo speed icons, mini-bombs that, when driven over, launch your car over blocked streets and traffic jams, nitro speed, and one that even summons an ambulance you can follow -- great for clearing busy streets.
For those who are always striving for the highest score, killing hostages and civilians in Die Hard Trilogy takes off points. So aim and drive carefully! For those who enjoy long, hour-eating games, DHT is a must-buy. From the construction level scene in the first Die Hard movie to the nail-biting snowmobile chase in Die Harder to the race across Central Park in Die Hard with a Vengeance —all your favorite scenes from the movies are here.
Excellently detailed, DHT is simply a pleasure to look at. Floors in the Nakatomi Plaza are beautifully designed, the Dulles Airport was brilliantly transferred from film to game, and the streets and avenues of New York City are as gritty in the game as in real life.
On high detail, surfaces are rounded, metal is burnished and shiny, and there are even distinctly different faces on each terrorist I assume the programmers had a field day with the office scanner. For those who own a slower machine, the game still looks great on a lower setting. And to make it easier to customize Die Hard Trilogy to your computer's specs, there are horizon, perspective correction, complexity and resolution settings that you can turn on or off.
There are also advanced settings that allow you to use your computer's MMX chip or a graphics accelerator if you are privileged enough to have them. To truly see DHT in all its glory, run out to the computer store and get yourself a 3D accelerator.
If you don't have enough money, just don't eat for a month or two -- it will be worth it. The environment in DHT is highly interactive. In Die Hard and Die Harder , glass shatters, walls explode, cars ignite and body parts fly.
In Die Hard with a Vengeance , the streets are full of barricades, pedestrians and street vendors. Lose control of your car for just a second and you'll have shattered wood and innocent civilians bouncing over your car or under your tires. Hitting pedestrians will even leave blood on your tire tracks!
And if you don't defuse a bomb in time, you are rewarded with a fireball that travels down the street, sending everything in its path skyrocketing through the air. I have never seen a game with such abundant and beautiful explosions. The graphics are simply excellent. As well as containing all the action, intensity, and explosions as the movies, Die Hard Trilogy also comes with many of Bruce Willis' trademark comebacks.
Finish a level and be rewarded with a "Yippie-Ki-Yay," rescue a hostage and you'll hear "Wanna stay alive? Stay with me," and if you get hit by too many terrorist bullets you'll even hear McClane sorrowfully ask for some aspirin. In Die Hard with a Vengeance you'll hear McClane's unwilling sidekick Zeus complain if you are clumsy enough to run over too many pedestrians, and he'll also give directions on where to go if you get lost.
The background music in Die Hard Trilogy is also first rate. On the CD there are twenty high quality, movie-worthy tracks. From funky to militant, there are enough tracks to keep you groovin' throughout all 45 of Die Hard's missions. Nothing like inspiring music to keep your trigger finger in motion. As compelling as the background music is, the sound of weapon fire leaves much to be desired. Weapon sounds are weak and simplistic. I wanted to experience the jarring kick of a discovered assault rifle or shotgun; instead I was left feeling like McClane was exterminating terrorists with a toy popgun.
This is one of the few shortcomings of Die Hard Trilogy , but it is worth noting. I would suggest, however, a computer that can utilize MMX technology, or the addition of a 3D graphics card.
Die Hard Trilogy is not an easy game. Terrorists keep coming in swarms and there are bombs aplenty strewn throughout the city. Many times I have thrown up my hands in frustration ready to give up and return to my normal pre- Die Hard life. But of course, I just speak those fateful words that lead to unproductiveness, "Just one more game," and keep on playing. It takes more than just an itchy trigger finger to successfully complete each game.
There are only a few health power-ups and limited weapons, while there are a huge number of terrorists who don't appreciate you trying to trash their plans. To successfully complete DHT you need to take careful aim, know when to attack, and know when to turn tail and run. Learning to conserve ammunition is the only way to conserve your life. This is most obvious in Die Hard. Terrorists tend to keep up their relentless attack even when you're in a well-protected position, making mowing them down as simple as holding down the fire button.
The bottom line on Die Hard Trilogy is simple: if you enjoy arcade-style action, want a game that takes a long, long time to beat, and want three times the gaming value, then run out and purchase DHT today. With intense and addictive gameplay, first-rate graphics and beautiful explosions, you'll find your money well spent. The addition of a great soundtrack and what sounds like the actual voice of Bruce Willis is just the icing on the cake. I rate this game as an absolute must-play with a score of This almost perfect score was only marred a few points for high system requirements and a few points for weak-sounding weaponry.
Other than that, Yippie-Ki-Yay! The hit series of Die Hard is coming home to the PlayStation with all the mayhem and action you've come to expect from the movies. Die Hard Trilogy is actually three separate games, each with totally different gameplay styles. The first game is a 3-D action game with a perspective similar to Capcom's Resident Evil. The attention to detail is excellent, with sprinkler systems going off over explosions.
The second game is a shooter similar to Virtua Cop, where you must shoot terrorists inside an airport. You have the ability to pan your perspective to help you get the feeling of being there. The third game is set on the streets of New York. Drive an assortment of vehicles about the city, stopping bombs. Think you're tough enough for all three games? Remind you of Virtua Cop? Well, it should.
Only difference is that this version is a lot letter. Nothing quite matches the feeling accomplishment you get when you've laid waste to an entire airport terminal. One of the greatest aspects of the game is the amount of permanent damage that you can inflict. Whenever you hit or shoot anything in the game, you will leave some kind of a mark, whether it be in the form of bullet holes, shattered glass or burst sprinkler systems. And you know what? You just can't ask for anything better than that.
If it's in a car, then watch out, because these babies are mobile and they'll go off whether the thing is driving over 50 mph or not. More fun than actually finding the bombs, is hitting pedestrians. When playing from cockpit view, watch your wipers clear away gallons of blood from your windshield.
The three Die Hard films combined have grossed over a billion dollars. Someone has finally figured out that this most supercharged of trilogies is a license to print money on the gaming platform. That is, if it's done well.
Finally, a game has been developed that's truly as good as the film it's based on. Die Hard Trilogy is one of the finest titles I've seen since I started in this business over a year ago. Fox has gone out and hired Probe to develop a game so amazing that every PlayStation owner on God's Earth will undoubtedly buy it. The game gets a 10 not so much for any revolutionary developments in gaming, but for its revolutionary ideas about giving consumers more for their money.
Trilogy packs three completely separate adventures onto one disc. The first part, Die Hard, is a shooter, like Loaded, that has you running amok in the Nakatomi building, saving hostages and wasting German terrorists. Die Harder, the second game, is a change of format that actually does Virtua Cop better than Virtua Cop itself did.
Maneuver through the Dulles Airport, shooting bad guys and making a general mess of the terminals. The third installment, With A Vengeance, plays a lot like Twisted Metal and has you racing though the streets of New York trying to get to bombs before they explode. Each of the three parts could easily stand on its own, but have instead been packed into this one outstanding game. Let's just hope all the blood and carnage I saw makes it into the final cut. Three different types of gameplay represent the three Die Hard feature films.
It's essentially three games in one. You're after international terrorists. You have to work your way up from the garage to the Penthouse, searching halls, offices, and a ballroom for hidden bombs, grenades, and machine guns.
Die Harder. Shoot down enemies in the baggage claim area and Duty Free Shop. Die Hard with a Vengeance: a driving game in which you get to race down the streets of Manhattan looking for stashed bombs that you have to find and diffuse.
You have access to 15 different vehicles, from aYugo to a Ferrari. You'll be presented with various hazards: changing stop lights, gridlocked traffic, double-parked vans, NYPD squad cars and various pedestrians. The Die Hard films have turned into a worldwide film franchise, made Bruce Willis an iiber-superstar and made Century City an interesting, if not a hip, place to visit in Los Angeles.
While film adaptations aren't our favorite type of games here at VG, we thought we'd give you a peek at what might turn out to be one of 96's hottest games, the Fox Interactive release Die Hard Trilogy. The graphics for this section of the game are very good. In a hi-res mode, the game looks suspiciously like the arcade version of Virtua Cop.
The terrorists are well animated and look more realistic than their counterparts in the first game. The only possible problem with the graphics is that scaled sprites are occasionally used to represent trees etc. This can look very blocky, especially on outside stages such as the mountain-side. Sound is of a similar quality to Die Hard with a reasonable selection of samples and speech.
This section of the game is quite addictive and proves to be great fun for a while. However, it is a bit uncomfortable having to use the mouse to control your firing. These sorts of games only really perform to their best when then player is using a lightgun. If the game came bundled with a lightgun then this part would have been excellent. As it stands, the action is still very entertaining but a bit unwieldy at times. A problem with this style of game is that it often provides only a very short-lived gaming experience.
However, the levels are all very long and there's quite a challenge here for most players. All in all, it's a very capable attempt at a Virtua Cop -style game. The third part of the Die Hard Trilogy is an innovative racing game.
You have to defuse a number of bombs by racing to them before they blow up. However, there is no set course to take and you are given complete freedom to navigate your way around the city streets and parks that you find yourself in. An onscreen radar tells you the approximate direction to be travelling in but it's entirely up to you to decided which route will prove to be the best.
You start off travelling around the city streets in a taxi. However, you can progress to tunnel and park sections as well as finding a wide variety of alternative means of transport.
All the cars in the game have their own handling characteristics and the control system has exactly the right feel to it. As well as regular steering, you can also employ hand brake turns to negotiate the sharp corners of the city.
This part of the game is initially very addictive. It's the most original part of the whole package and is my favourite of the three games. However, it does get a bit repetitive after a while. To be fair, the programmers have included some nice touches, such as bombs in moving vehicles, but the action still remains fairly similar throughout. The graphics in this section of the game are very good, but weaker PCs clearly slow down and make the car's handling quite sluggish.
There are some nice touches, such as the skid marks left by your car, and the cities are all packed with cars and pedestrians. The sound is also very well implemented, with convincing rumblings of engines and sampled speech to help you find the best route.
Die Hard With A Vengeance is a very gripping racing game. It does not have that much lasting appeal but it can prove to be compelling for short periods. It also makes a nice change from the shooting action of the earlier parts of the game. Die Hard Trilogy gives you three very different games for your money. All of them are quite compelling but aren't really of a high enough quality to maintain your interest for too long.
However, because there are three games, you can move between them to keep your interest level up. The package works surprisingly well. However, none of the games would really stand up all that well on their own, so you really have to decide what it is you are looking for. If you want one excellent version of one of these styles of games then you would be advised to look elsewhere.
However, if you want a wide range of action then this package may suit you. I certainly enjoyed it and it is one of the better movie licences of recent times. Screenshots from MobyGames.
