About Die Hard Trilogy 2: Viva Las Vegas

Unlike the original Die Hard Trilogy, the different sub-games or genres found in Die Hard Trilogy 2: Viva Las Vegas (3rd person Action/Adventure, Sharpshooting, and Extreme Driving) are integrated into "Movie Mode" with the player moving from game to game as they progress rather than selecting a single stand-alone game genre to play through. However, an individual sub-game can still be selected via "Arcade Mode".

The 3rd person Action/Adventure segments feature more advanced enemy AI in comparison to its predecessor with enemies walking patrol paths, actively looking for the player and responding to noises made by the player. Stealth elements are also incorporated into the game. A variety of standard weapons are available along with less traditional weapons such as flamethrower, shock rifle and jackhammer.

In addition to the standard PlayStation controller, the PlayStation Mouse, light guns, and steering wheels can be used in the relevant parts of the game.

John McClane is living in an apartment in New York City until he receives a phone call from Kenny Sinclair, his best friend in the NYPD, to come to Las Vegas. Kenny was appointed as the new warden of the Mesa Grande Prison and is throwing a party in his honor. McClane accepts the invitation. At the party, McClane gets into a brief conversation about a prisoner named Klaus Von Haug and meets Reese Hoffman, the owner of the Roaring 20's Casino, and his secretary Elena Goshkin. However, during the party, a prison riot occurs, and Von Haug escapes from his prison cell, which means McClane must defeat terrorists again.

As the game progresses, it is revealed that Kenny, Reese, and Elena are all in on the terrorist plot in their attempt to control Las Vegas. McClane dispatches them all, with Kenny being saved for last.
