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.

I haven't played a decent single player FPS since I got AvP2.
So I don't really want a multi.

It is well worth the cash. Even though it doesn't boast a Multiplayer mode!

I just can't put it down. But when a hostage does die you go "ARRGGGH!" beut then you try again!
Though I had my doubts at first I'm actually enjoying Die Hard far more than any other console FPS I've played in a long while. The fact that you always seem to loose a mission if a civilian gets killed can get annoying at times, but it's made up by some pretty fun and relentless action.
There might be some funny cheats to find online or something! How many levels are there?
Plus, why don't you play with no autoaim!

Single player I thought was better on Die Hard, the controls re wacky at first but once you get used to them they actually come in handy.
Only problem is lastability, i've completed it on Die Harder and nearly done it on Die Hardest...there's not really gonna be anything to do after that.
Nevermind i've got a good 25 hours out of it, and ofr a 1st person shooter with no multiplayer that's quite a long time. Shame that you can't shoot innocent civilians without the game ending though.

I just saw the advert for the first time. Classic! I love the ame more now!
No probs. Always happy to help! Even though there are some nice touches in the game, it's too unforgiving and unpredictable. I'm glad I rented it out, though but i wouldn't buy it.
I've just purchased Timesplitters 2 so I'm going to go home tonight and sit in front of it all weekend!

Cheers! I'll try that later.
I hate big stealth parts in games. It took me something like 1o days (in the game's time) to get into Warehouse No.8 in Shenmue.
I'm never playing a Metal Gear Solid game!
