Area 51 is good fun if you don't take it seriously; the enemies are (from what I've played) FMV on top of 3D backdrops It's the other way around, actually. The backgrounds are FMV and the enemies are 3D stop-motion-animated sprites. Virtua Cop and Virtua Cop 2 obviously top the recommended list. Terrific, smooth playing polygonal graphics, and great gameplay. Area 51 and Maximum Force clearly can't be held up to the same standard as the Virtua Cop games but are both terrific fun if you want more out of your light gun. Lots of fun hidden extras in them, and Maximum Force in particular has a delightful sense of humor. Die Hard Trilogy has its merits in the non-light gun segments, but the light gun segment is not hot. Ugly graphics, insane difficulty, and pacing which simply never feels right. (Can't deny that the music is awesome, though.) Haven't played the others, though based on the numerous reviews and footage I've seen of Crypt Killer and Death Crimson, both look astoundingly bad.

Forgot about Die Hard Trilogy part 2. It's technically not great, there are some quite messy graphics. As Martinii, says the sound is excellent. And still a bit of fun if you're desperate for an alternative light gun game.
If I remember back to 1997 correctly when I last played it with a light gun, there's a lot of slow down in later levels, particularly when using the machine gun. It means the screen is flashing white at a machine gun pace and becomes barely playable. Probably genuinely bad for epileptics as well!

At least that one is playable. I bought Death Crimson to see how bad it was earlier this year. Its freaking bad! You can't even tell which enemy hits you sometimes. And the graphics are ugly as hell. Its pretty much unplayable

Thanks again for the recommendations. I will be busy in next couple of month the get all the games. I have allready ordered House of the Dead, and Virtua Cop 2.
I will order the other recommented games too in the next couple of month.
Area 51 really Looks like fun according to the YouTube footage. maybe not a game you can take seriously but I will have fun with it for sure:)
barryburton As a Fan of the Die hard movies it is nice to hear that there is Die Hard game available for the Saturn. I have always thought Die Hard Arcade is a Playstation only game.
I will check this out for sure.
Crpyt Killer Killer Looks somehow intersting due to the Horror Setting. But I have just seen some screenshots of it. No Video footage yet. If it is really that bad as the Reviews say I won't get it unless I can find it at a very low price.

Die Hard Arcade is a Saturn only game with no light gun sections. Die Hard Trilogy was released for both ps1 and Saturn. The lightgun bit is in the Die Harder section I believe.

yes but the version on saturn is terrible. play the version on playstation, this accounts for all 3 die hard games, but the lightgun game die harder the most.
