Product Description Take on the role of John McClane, probably the unluckiest cop in motion picture history, in this brand new adventure created specifically for Nintendo GameCube. McClane is back working the streets of LA but his past just won't leave him alone, and you know that, with John, where there's trouble some insurance firms are going to go bankrupt before it all gets resolved. Die Hard: Vendetta is a first-person shooter where tactics and stealth are as important as having a big gun and being a quick shot. With unprecedented character interaction, superbly rich environments and some amazing in-game cinematics, this game will explode Die Hard into the 21st Century. .co.uk Review John McClane is back, and he still hasn't got a clean vest. Die Hard: Vendetta is the GameCube's first exclusive first-person shooter and, despite some problems, it puts the [expletive deleted] back into yippie-kai-yay. There have been lots of attempts at making video games out of the Die Hard films; the only decent one so far has been the original Die Hard Trilogy for the PSone. This new game isn't based on any single film but features its own story that takes place several years after Die Hard with a Vengeance and so has nothing in common with the recent PC game Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza. With Vendetta it seems as if the developers are trying to "do a GoldenEye", taking an established action franchise and building a fairly unique shooter around it. Although it's not as inventive as its inspiration, there is a genuine attempt in Vendetta to provide something new: the real-world police settings are well conceived and the constant set-pieces are exciting and well scripted (complete with lots of foul language). Where the game falls down is in the awful graphics and some questionable level design--in particular a number of irritating jumping sequences. But if you can persevere with these there's much to enjoy, especially some of the neat little touches such as being able to hold bad guy leaders hostage and build up Matrix-style bullet time by saving innocent people. It can't be recommended unequivocally but if you like the films or first-person shooters in general, Vendetta is well worth considering. --David Jenkins.

Just ask the evil Hans Gruber, the victim of a vicious skyscraper homicide at the hands of detective John McClane. Having said that, however, we think that if you're going to die, you might as well go out with a bang. Thankfully, British coders Bits Studios feel exactly the same way and have given GameCube owners the chance to bless bad guys the world over with outrageously spectacular deaths--courtesy of your itchy trigger fingers, of course. Not to be confused with the age-old PSone shooter, Die Hard Trilogy, GameCube belter Die Hard Vendetta is the perfect representation of the hugely popular movie franchise. Incorporating some of the best scenes across the three movies, the game unceremoniously thrusts players into the thick of the action, showcasing both recognisable scenes and brand new situations in which to spray ammunition. Taking its cue from such greats as Perfect Dark, Max Payne and Metal Gear Solid, Die Hard Vendetta erupts onto the screen in spectacular fashion, with eye-meltingly gorgeous visuals, backed up by solid first-person shoot-em-up action. Plot twists, weapons galore, tactical elements, and the ability to raise your adrenaline to dangerous levels. This is one not to be missed. See more

Not quite the movie ...
There was a lot of footage on the net for this game a few months ago but alot of opinions have changed regarding the quality of the game. If you want a fast and furious FPS game then go buy Timesplitters 2, Die Hard Vendetta tho does have alot more realism and does seem to follow a few traits of the films with helicopters shotting the living daylights out of you and many a person hidden away trying to snipe you out.One thing in the game that really made me enjoy it was that you can actually grab people and use them as a human sheild / for bargaining with certain bad guys. Many things to keep you entertained for weeks but the only real draw back to its style of play is that i found some bits quite annoying and repetative the way you know what you have to do but you just seem to die beofre managing to complete the task at hand, it can get quite infuriating to say the least. This is definatley one for the "Die hard" Gamer ( sory for the pun... )Many great weapons to choose from also, This actually seems to be a more of a Counter Strike with meaning tied into Die Hard theme - just a shame the Bruce Willis sounding voice isnt quite the same as youd hope. If you like sniping in FPS shooters then this is one to own as there is just so much satisfaction in getting a spot on cold zero head shot on the victim that is trying to aim for you at the same time.Graphically you cannot knock this game either, it looks fantastic, sound is not too bad but in my opinion could have been a little bit better. Control Method is good on the Nintendo GameCube pad too, seems to work pretty fluent.Not a game to be missed but make sure your up for the challenge as bits are tough and annoying at times.

Yippeekayeeay!
This definitely has the feel of Die Hard, even though it's not Bruce Willis providing the voice (whoever does do it does a pretty fair imitation). It has the dodgiest control layout outside of Turok, is insanely difficult in places and will often leave you stumped about how you're supposed to finish a task (very often, pick a wrong choice and you'll have to replay a big chunk of level: have an internet guide to hand). It works like a movie, though, and this is enough to hold it together despite some big flaws (crawling along girders in the Tuna Factory is insanely difficult). Despite this, the Die Hard feel is enough to pull it through.

Yippie Ki Yay
Im used to playing most of my first person shooters on the PC, as I find the control system a lot eaiser with a keyboard and mouse. This game changes my view on that. Die Hard Vendetta uses a automatic aim which I find a lot eaiser then trying to aim manually (althoigh that option is avaliable).Whatb I like most about this game is that it has just the right level of difficulity ranging from the moderatly easy to the quite challanging (depending on what setting you have it on).Graphically the game could have used a bit more care when in comes to animating the peoples faces and the comical acting is just about what you would expext from this type of game.Usually I would give this game 5 stars, but if youv'e ever played games like Half Life and Return to Castle Wolfenstien then you'll know why I have given it 4.

Die you scum, DIE!!!
Die Hard Vendetta can best be described with one word. Mediocre.You play as tough guy cop John McLaine, who seems to foil terrorists for a living. Anyway, John is caught up in a whole lot of trouble when his daughter Lucy is kidnapped by a big bad tycoon and a flushed out Hollywood Star.First of all, the graphics are good, but not great. The rendering on people's faces is beautifully done but the fact that they re-use faces in the game means is plain lazy and could have easily been avoided.The controls are good and there are plenty of alternitive control modes for all those who don't agree with the original control scheme. However, it does take some getting used to the way they are layed out but you'll get the hang of it.A neat addition is the auto targetting scheme. You'll have to face loads of badguys and the auto-targetting makes it alot easier. Another auto scheme is the auto jump. Simply run towards a gap and you'll (hopefully) jump over the gap and land safely on the other side.The developers have also tried their hands at stealth modes as well. Simply press a button and you will enter stealth mode and will be able to creep up onto enemies and jam a gun into their head, making the other enemies place down their weapons and surrendering.Then you have hero mode which is a kind of slow-mo mode, and bullet cam mode and... <<OH MY!!>>O.k..., I'm calm now...Well, there are sadly bad bits as well which obstruct this from a perfect 5 mark. First, at times the A.I is pretty lame. You can walk past guys at time and they won't do a thing about it unless you shoot someone. Second is that the game can be unfairly difficult. At one point, you must find a way to escape a building in 17 seconds or get blow up in the proccess. It took me hours to find the soloution to that problem.Third is that if you do one itty bitty thing wrong then you are in trouble as you stare at the OBJECTIVE FAILURE words at the screen. And finally, this game seems to punish you for trying new things such as finding an alternate way through things and seems badly scripted. There is also some bad language which can make your ears blush at times, so needless to say this ain't one for the kids.All in all, Die Hard Vendetta is a good attempt and is worth a rent out at most. But there are better shooters out there such as Timesplitters or the infamous Perfect Dark.Like I said, one word: Mediocre
