Hostage Rescue Mission

We all have the dream to don the hat of a commander to vanquish the anti-terrorist elements from the world, haven’t we? A video game makes the same dream come true in the reel, and something similar happens in the gameplay of Hostage Rescue Mission too. The gamer plays the protagonist commander of an anti-terrorist squad in Europe, who is on the mission to rescue officials of U.S. embassies held hostage by terrorists. The gamer has to pass through different stages, which more or less is enacted the same way. In the beginning, the player is required to deploy three soldiers in marked positions around the embassy, later inside and around the building of the embassy. The soldiers can duck or run and can kill the terrorists by shooting them. But do beware to not mistake the silhouette of innocent people as terrorist and knock them off, as this may cost you points. In the final stage, the player is seen entering the embassy where the actual mission of searching through all three floors continue. The player needs to be shrewd enough to shoot any terrorist who is sighted. The gamer can control all his actions using the keyboard. Hostage Rescue Mission is coupled with excellent animation which turns repetitive after few stages. The story is well conceptualized to keep the thrill and excitement alive throughout. Filled with its share of kick and blows, this game would interest all those who are fond of playing asavior in games.
