A great movie almost never translates well into a video game. This is no different.

Well. What can I say? I will have to confess, I own this game. That's right, I bought it. I handed over my hard earned cash in exchange for this game. Before paying for it the owner of the small video game shop actually tried to dissuade me from buying it but I didn't listen. It can't be that bad surely. I like FPS games and I liked the movie.

It turns out I was wrong. This game is bad. It's a crime that it was ever released. The controls are awkward and they will eventually drive you crazy. It doesn't help that the game is so difficult that you actually have to be John MacLane in order to complete it. There are enemies everywhere shooting from every angle of every screen. You will die, over and over again. You will die hard.

The graphics are not bad but they are nothing special for the time considering the same year saw the release of GTA Vice City and in the previous year Max Payne was released. I did not really notice the music which suggests it wasn't great. The voice acting though is terrible. Why couldn't they get Bruce Willis to do the voice of John MacLane; probably because he didn't want to be associated with such an absolute piece of rubbish.

I can't really comment on the number of hours it will take to complete the game because I turned it off after 10 minutes and any sane person will do the same. No actually, any sane person will not buy this game in the first place.

The best way to get any entertainment out of this game is to use it as a Frisbee.
