5.0 out of 5 stars Very Amazing, April 14, 2003

This review is from: Die Hard Vendetta (Video Game)

I saw hundreds of reviews on Die Hard Vendetta and most of them were bad. So I was in Best Buy the other day and saw it for [$$] bucks so I just picked it up. First of the flames and graphics are nice. Gamepro gave them a 1.5 out of 5 and it is not true. It is alot more better then The Sum Of All Fears I can tell you that. Well anyways I decided to check out what it had for guns wow over 20 diffrent weapons and gear. You get nightvision and other real cool gadgets. Now the story is very good for a movie game and everything I mean movie games never turn out good. The charecter models in the game are very nice looking and detailed. The controls are actually pretty nice not Timesplitters 2 but there nice lot's of options. The swairs get bad and nasty in this game. There is alot of blood even from you when you get hit. The best part about this game is you can grab anyone besides civlians and either arrest them get information out of them shoot them in the head or snap there neck. It is a pretty sick game but very good. I would say don't hesitate get Die Hard Vendetta it needs to be on your shelf. Oh yeah you need alot of stealth in this game also, and you have plenty of options to do that. When you do get this you will love the bullet cam, man is it awsome.

5.0 out of 5 stars A game that is not easy, December 11, 2002

This game is for the gamers who enjoy challenges. Die Hard includes great graphics and amazing game play. I recently bought it and immediatly loved it. And don't think the game forgot classic characters such as John McClane. In most of the missions it stealth and gunpower. Right of the bat the first level has so much action. Before you go to the first level you can train if you want. In training you can use a shooting range. You even use a paintball gun. So I give Die Hard 5 Stars.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Die Hard Vendetta (Video Game)

This game kind of appeard under a lot of radars. There was little press about it, I only noticed it because I had been obsessing about the Die Hard movies for a few weeks, saw the title in the store and said "what the heck?" I was not dissapointed. I'm not a huge fan of these first person shooters, but I can make an exception for DHV. This game requires you to use a lot of stealth, something rare for a FPS. Rather than killing someone outright for a key like in some games, a little persuasion (along with a gun to the back of the head) is requires to advance.
The game features a good collection of weapons, from a standard issue police revolver to uzis. A big thing I love about this game is the effectiveness of the punch. In many games once you run out of ammo, you are dead, no hope. In DHV, you can still be very leathal without a weapon.
Real voice actors are used in the game. The voice actor for Bruce Willis is very good, and sounds just like Bruce. And yes, that is the dad from Family Matters as the police chief. That is his real voice! It adds a bit of athenticity to the game as a part of the Die Hard series. A note about dialogue: There is more swearing in this game than any I have ever played. Along with the mind numbing violence the game deserves the mature rating and people should use their own discression is buying this game. In short, use good judgement.
The levels are pretty generic. Despite this, a few are quite fun to replay over again. Streets of LA is an interesting level that requires lots of walking, the Police Department level is one massive fire fight as you combat the terrorists who are trying to kill John MacClain. The Prison level is very impressive. The amount of area to cover is huge, and it will demand more sneakiness then force. It's also a very creepy level with strange shadows thrown against the wall, and random fires burning in the halls. The levels present good challenges, but none so hard that you will find yourself screaming profane words at the screen. At no point in this game will you get so frusterated that you will smash your controller against the wall over a little point that you can't past.
I'd say this game is great but it does have some flaws. The story is kind of dry (how many Grubbers are there? Are they all evil art thieves?) and some levels can get tedious (sewers). But this is a game that deserves a second look from anyone who brushed it off as just another shooter. While not entirely orginal, it promises to keep one entertained long enough to want to get to the later, more sprawling levels. Its well worth it, epecially now that the price is down.
