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.
