Highly-trained. And they kill without remorse. They're a team of vicious international terrorists and unless their demands are met, hundreds of innocent lives will be lost. Hostages have been taken. Explosives set. Now, from the glass-and-steel labyrinth of the Nakatomi Plaza high-rise to the crowded terminals of Washington/Dulles airport to the mean streets of New York City, timers tick down the seconds until the bombs detonate, creating an inferno of twisted wreckage and mangled bodies. The situation looks hopeless. Except for one factor the terrorists never planned on. Detective John McClane. A cop with the determination of a pit bull and the bad habit of always being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's up to you to help McClane wipe out the terrorists, find and free the hostages, and defuse the bombs before it's too late. You'll need brains, skill, and a little help from some of the most deadly weapons a cold-blooded terrorist or hero cop ever laid hands on. Not to mention, the guts to take on impossible odds and come out on top - or die trying. 4 Getting Started Insert the Die Hard Trilogy disc into the PlayStation' console and close the Disc cover.

If you can make it here, you'll make it anywhere - and if you can't, half of Manhattan will disappear in a blinding flash. This time, it's a gang of terrorists led by the twisted genius, Simon.

Blaze through the traffic-choked streets of Chinatown in a high-powered sports car. Scatter some skaters in Central Park, in a dump truck. Grab a cab and drive it right into the subway system. Whatever you do, you've got to get to the next bomb and run it over before it detonates. Then, outrun the terrorists before they escape. 22 Controller Action UP Move forward slowly DOWN Reverse LEFT Turn left RIGHT Turn right TRIANGLE Cycle through views CROSS Accelerator/Gas pedal SQUARE Brake CIRCLE Turbo 23 LEFT 2 Handbrake turn "with gas" for 90 degree.
