Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza

Descriptions:

Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza is yet another game based on the "cult" blockbuster action movie "Die Hard" starring Bruce Willis. Other than all other Die Hard games, it really tries to capture the movie scene by scene - without using any actual video clip. You'll witness the arrival of the bad guys like it's in the movie (with the same sound effects and even the same moody background music), the scene where the head bad guy introduces Mr. Takagi, the execution of Mr. Takagi - all like you would watch the movie. Every spoken sentence is 100% identical to the movie script, I think even the voices are the real voices of the actors.

The developers built the whole Nakatomi Plaza environment like we know it - they really didn't leave anything out. Of course, to make the game bigger, they needed to expand the walkable areas as well as add more bad guys to shoot.

You play as John McClane, a cop who wants to get reunited with his wife Holly on Christmas Eve. She works at Nakatomi Plaza, a huge business building. He is just arriving at the christmas party and has just met his wife when some bad guys enter the scene, take hostages and then kill Mr. Takagi, the CEO of the Nakatomi Corp. They want money, that's all - more than 600 Million Dollars, to be exact. John can't let them go - after all, he's a cop and his wife is among the hostages! So he gets his gun and his badge and runs to the fire exit...

Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza is the typical new generation 3D shooter, with many bad guys to kill and some easy puzzles to solve. It lives from the massive "deja vu" feeling the player gets when he sneaks through scenes he knows from the movie. Dead enemies give you many different weapons and ammo. There are health kits too, but they did at least hide them in first aid boxes.

The game uses the Lithtech engine.

John McClane, a brash New York cop, is in Los Angeles to reconcile with his estranged wife. Upon arriving at her company Christmas party high atop the Nakatomi Plaza, his efforts are interrupted when a group of highly trained, highly armed professional thieves seize the skyscraper as part of a daring heist. The plan is flawless except for one thing--they didn't count on you... the fly in the ointment, the monkey in the wrench. You are John McClane, jet-lagged, barefoot, and out of your jurisdiction.

The LithTech engine is called upon to take you on an FPS ride up through 30 levels of blasting eurotrash terrorists in order to save the day in a fashion that only John McClane can.
