This thread has been linked to the game 'Die Hard: Vendetta'.
I picked up a second hand Die Hard: Vendetta for a very reasonable price and I take all criticisims about it back!
I know I have criticized it but from what I read, heard, saw and told it did appear the game wasn't right for me... I was wrong. Die Hard: Vendetta is similar to Goldeneye in terms of a storming single player game. It is a solid game but its the extras like the names of films at the movies, the speech that is said throughout the game... such as if you kill a baddie holding a hostage instantly you'll tell the hostage to get away... if you bide your time you'll have a brief chat with the baddie...
The game is great fun, it is very puzzle orientated but that is one of the ways it is so brilliant, it mixes simple blasting with the desire to progress further... it has a good storyline, decent cutscenes and some nice effects as well. I'm dead impressed and I know I criticized it but it is fun... yes there is the hostage shooting situation that can be frustrating (the trial and error criticizm) but that is part of the games charm and is actually fun in a way, there is no multiplayer which is a damn big shame and yes the shooting is made a little easy but then the difficulty comes in the form of discovering how to progress further.
I'll write a review when I've played through the game but this is great... sadly it looks like it hasn't been especially built for the cube as much as they originally planned now it going to the PS2... the only 'Cube effect' I've spotted is the very nice reflections on the guns, which can be done on the PS2 although requires a lot more coding than the Cube's version.
Yes so, I take it back, Die Hard is extremley good fun... get it.

Did I say it was hard? :)
The thing is, I always end up with a total of 34/35 enemies, no matter how thorough I am. Where's the last guy?

If you think the first level is hard Maverick wait till you come across the last three. Man, they really are hard.
I took it back too...no really I completed it and traded it in for another game.
Great game just didn't last long.
Maverick it's easy to kill everyone on the first level, all you have to do is fire your gun.

Can anyone kill/arrest each criminal on the first level? It's impossible!
That'll learn you.
I was expecting it to be better than Timesplitters 2, but it wasn't. Still, Die Hard is a very good game and I would recommend it to anybody.

I'll stick to my guns - it's rubbish. I expected much more but was severly disappointed by it.
