It's definitely a beat em'up. It has a lot of weapons, simple combos, bad sound mixing and one of the most generic plots you can imagine, but has something going for it to make it stand out: It has probably the first incarnation of the modern Quick Time Event, two years before Shenmue give it its proper name. I wish more game had QTE in the way This game does it, because most of the time, if you fail them is just a minor annoyance with a funny scene and if you succeeded, you save resources (Time and health) while watching a cool action sequence. In short, this game is a little history curiosity while not being that big of a deal.
It's a pretty neat beat-em-up. Pretty brutal to get the hang of, but it has a lot of different moves and combos that you can learn, and a pretty consistently over-the-top, fun vibe going for it. I'm not sure I'll ever fully master it, but it's fun to mess around with.
Ahead of its time, but a fairly cheap (as in unfair) game
this game is really fun with 2 players, but as a single player game it's just alright. had a lot of fun with this in arcades back in the day but dunno if it would be first choice for a beat em up now.
Eu e o Veiga chutamos algumas bundas nesse jogo.
Finally got my arcade cab for this working!

THIS GAME RULES YOU CAN USE ANYTHING AS A WEAPON
but it's pretty short, being an arcade game

Capital W WACKY~! Barely a Die Hard game, but a fun 90s brawler nonetheless.
Its a neat beat em up. I think a lot of 3D beat em ups (ESPECIALLY 32 bit ones) get a bit repetitive and boring as the turn of 3D meant slow animations, dull setpieces, and jank hitboxes. This game manages to avoid those problems by keeping things simple and arcadey while also adding a plethora of goofy scenerios and items to the mix. You fight gangsters, robots, firefighters, sumo wrestlers, really everything and anything as you go through a big tower. It's paced pretty well so it doesn't overstay its welcome as a lot of beat em ups tend to do, which is nice. The game also has QTE cutscenes to break up the pace and add a bit of spectacle.
I have no idea why they had to localize this as a Die Hard game though, I think it being its own goofy IP as Dynamite Cop is much more fitting. I haven't seen Die Hard though, so maybe it really is an accurate rendition and I should see the movie to watch Bruce Willis blast a dude wearing only a loincloth in a bathroom with a tank cannon.

the final boss is a cheating little bastard
It good
THIS GAME KICKS ASS! OST goes hard as well!
Game #6 of my "seasonal game binge"
I don't know what I can even say about this game. It speaks for itself. Anybody remember the scenes in the Die Hard movies where John McClane Tatsumaki kicks 5 thugs at once, Shoryukens their asses off a building, fights giant robots with anime as fuck laser beams, and kicks a woman in the face as the camera pans over it from half a dozen different angles? So do I.
When somebody says QTEs are inherently bad, I'm using this and Dynamite Cop as my counterargument.

Solid beat em up with a great item and stage arena utilization, alongside simple yet stunning combos.
