 Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza Preview - PC News at GameSpot
When Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza was first shown, FPS fans and fans of the original Die Hard film had reason to be dubious, as the trailer showed very little promise for the upcoming game.
As you might have guessed from the title, Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza is based on the first film in the Die Hard series in which a cop named John McClane tries to save hostages--and his wife--from a group of terrorists attempting to break into the Nakatomi vault.
Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza has 40 levels to match the number of floors of the Nakatomi Tower from the movie, and as John McClane, you progress through each floor in a linear fashion, so you can't jump from the second floor to the eighth floor whenever you want.

While maintaining the visceral intensity of their hardcore roots, Nakatomi Plaza offer a considerably matured vision on “Unsettled.” Overflowing with virtuosic guitar work, three-part vocal harmonies, synth textures and otherworldly samples, the album packs an astounding depth and complexity, showcasing a phenomenal talent that still knows how to turn out a catchy chorus.
Conceived as a side-project of guitarist/singer Oscar Rodriguez in 1999, Nakatomi Plaza self-recorded and released its first full-length within months of forming, on Rodriguez’s own BD Records.
After recording the 7-song EP “Private Property” for indie Gunboat Records in 2001, Nakatomi Plaza solidified their lineup with the addition of guitarist/singer Joel Remland and hopped in the van for their first tour of the entire US and Canada.

 Action Vault - Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza Demo Impressions
As mentioned previously, the LithTech 2.5 engine is being utilized to render the interior and occupants of Nakatomi Plaza, and judging from the levels that are featured in the demo, competent if not necessarily spectacular use has been made of the technology.
In terms of overall impressions, it would seem that Piranha is piecing together a solid game worthy of its movie license origins, a feat that is not necessarily a common occurrence.
There are some niggling issues that detract somewhat from the experience, but given the limited content of the demo and the fact that the title still has some time in development before it comes to fruition, a final appraisal of its worth should be reserved until the fully-featured commercial release.

 Featuring Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza Review at ActionTrip
Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza is an adaptation of said film, where the player follows the script of the movie almost verbatim, with a couple of additional passages that were not in the movie, for the sake of adding playing time - they add nothing to the story whatsoever.
The interiors of the 40-story Nakatomi Plaza are as plush as one would expect a Japanese corporation's American HQ to be, but the engine shows its limitations in the rendering of the game's player models.
When all is said and done, Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza is nothing to write home to mother about.

I found this FPS to be riddled with clipping issues and chunky poorly rendered graphics.
The plot is also poorly rendered, forcing players to follow a pre-defined route through all 30 floors of the Nakatomi Plaza.
Despite it seemingly large size, the building is really just a tunnel, with all but the necessary doors locked and no way other than shooting, whacking or in some way killing, to get around problems.
