Game Introduction

You are fighting against terrorists who have taken over a large skyscraper of a major auto-maker in Japan. You defeat enemies, earn experience points, and meet/free hostages along the way. Some levels have bosses, but all levels end at elevators that either take you up or down through the building. Your objective is to reach the top and defeat the leader.

Game Play

You play the game first-person. You see your character's fists, knife or gun. You fire or fight enemies hand to hand. Most of the time you use your fists, but you can use a knife (which decreases in strength with every use), a gun (you only have so many bullets per life), or a machine gun (you pick these up along the way). You meet people who heal you, fix your knife, or give you a machine gun. It is a rather difficult game, based on proper timing of attacks to kill enemies while avoiding getting hit. You can block, but its hard to time it properly.
