Just thought soe of you guys might be intresting in some opinions on this game other than the dude earlier that raving about his disgust in the game.
First of all the bad things. For starters the aiming controls are a bit suspect, without auto aim on it's near impossible to shoot people which just sucks, i've tryed fiddling with the sensitivity but it still sucks. with the auto aim on you hardly have to do any adgusting of the aiming crosshair so it's a bit easy really. That's the worse part out of the way.
The graphics are a bit bland in places to be honest, particuarly the first level..oh and speaking of the first level don't let it put you off, it's a bit of a suck balls level but the 2nd level is much more fun. Another bad thing and this is just me being picky is like TWINE on the N64 when you shoot a hostage or do something that doesn't follow the mission and causes you to fail the level ends, now I don't know about you guys but I kinda like just going nuts in the level and shooting the inncoent bystanders occasionally in Goldeneye and Perfect dark. I really can't understand why other developers never let you do this and force the level to finish, stupid fools. Anyway minor niggle.
Now the good points and you'll be suprised to hear that there's quite a few, the speach is great, whether mid mission or in a pitched gun battle Mcalne always has something to say, very much in line with his film character. Also eves dropping on the terrorists conversations with the hostages and other people is rather amusing. One incident where I snuck into the mens toilet and listened to them talk about women was rather amusing, I proceeded to take one hostage and use him as a shield as his stupid mate with his trousers down ran out of the bog and filled him mate with lead. Another cool thing is taking hostages, very cool sneaking up on a terrorist holding a gun to his head and forcing his stupid mates to surrender their guns. The levels are welldone as well, all seem very different to the last, the first level sucks the balls as i've already said but from then on they get much better.
So basically it's a good game, not perfect but by no means rubbish, if you can get used to the controls (you will after a while and they actually come in handy) then I urge you to check it out.

Ocarina of Time was the greatest RPG ever in my opinion. It's better than Mjora's Mask because they were going to incorporate everything into OOT but had to split it into two Zelda game and release MM later due to time restrictions. From the opening scene with the mesmerising music, my jaw dropped open. Still amazing and a timeless classic that I'll NEVER sell.
Back to Die Hard, though. It's not worth owning especially when I completed it on Die Harder level after renting it for a few days! But it as some great effects and brilliant voice acting in it. The controls are too jerky and what's with the lack of good strafing? On Timespitter 2, once you set the controls to those of Goldeneye, the game plays like a dream. Unlike DHV when it's all jerky and messed up...
Also, I have to mention the auto-aim AGAIN! Putting the auto-aim on makes the game too easy but turning it off makes it nigh on impossible! The manual aim jerks around like a rabid dog and my frustration levels were going into the red!

Yea, the Gamecube remake is going to be AMAZING!
I might go as far as saying Ocarina Of Time was my favourite game ever.
Did you ever catch the giant fish in OOT?
Some say MM was just slapped together. OOT was thought about. Think about it though. OOT is great. They are both great!
I think that Ocarina of time was better than Majora's Mask!
I do prefer a good single player FPS to a multiplayer one. I love Perfect Dark though, becuase it has both good single and multi player!
