T.R.A.G.: Tactical Rescue Assault Group - Mission of Mercy
Description official description
The year is 2046 and the Togusa building has been occupied by terrorists. The building is owned by a major military supplier called Machine Gear and houses some important scientists. The T.R.A.G. (Tactical Rescue Assault Group) team is sent out to resolve the situation and free the hostages, but are all caught in a trap. With only two survivors, team members Alex and Michelle, it's up to them to take out the threat themselves.
Gameplay resembles the early Resident Evil games, with its 3D characters over fixed pre-rendered backdrops and combination of puzzle solving and action elements. One big difference, however, is the ability to switch between any of the characters at any given time. This feature is used to solve certain puzzles and to find different routes through the Togusa building. Throughout the game you will acquire four different allies to aid you. You never find new weapons in the game, so you need to use the characters wisely and where needed, since they all have different abilities and arms. You can also split them up in teams of two, to make things more versatile.

Resident Die Hard & Evil featuring Japanese
The Good
Well...I liked the movie Die Hard.
I liked the game Resident Evil.
It just made sense.
It also gave me a hard edge. I was so very stiff of judgement, that I was contemplating shame. I mean...should I like it? Is it wrong? I don't care...because it feels good.
Specifics:
-I enjoyed neutralizing terrorists
-I enjoyed the Character-switching mechanics (When I got sick of looking at the female character Michelle...I switched right over to the other female character, Alex.)
The Bad
Nobody wants to remember it...nor do they have a choice. This game isn't GOOD. This game isn't BAD. It's OK.
Note: I also haven't played this game in years, but due to the game's mediocrity...I believe it's the most appropriate way to review this game.
FACT: You could not even play this game...and you'll know it's OK. Therefore, giving it the benefit of doubt...it's Brilliant.
Specifics:
-I didn't like the characters. I couldn't relate to either of them. They lacked complete emotion and any resemblance to a human being.
-I didn't like the enemies. I couldn't relate to any of them. They had no motives...other than to be in opposition. They weren't even "bad" guys. They were probably just caught up in teenage angst.
-I didn't like the story. Couldn't relate. I've had experience working in buildings for corporations and this kind of stuff NEVER HAPPENS. But that's my opinion, I suppose.
-I didn't like the camera. You know how Resident Evil creates tension by the viewpoint? Yeah...those zombies didn't have GUNS.
The Bottom Line
Do you like the movie Die Hard? You know the one with the hip black limo driver who takes John McClane to the Nakatamakahakaka Plaza. The one where he jams to Run DMC in the parking floor of the building.
OH...and John McClane fights Snape. You remember that? This game is like that movie. In Japan.
Specifics: -You are members of an Assault Group. -The characters you play as strongly resemble an Anime creators' love dolls. -You assault terrorists by switching back and forth between members in different areas of the building. -By "assault" I mean "Use Guns" -You also assault puzzles -By "assault" I mean "solve" -also, you might just be playing as a security officer watching on the monitors. This building has a lot of monitors.
