Siege isn´t a great title . :(

Its premise is poor and pretty out-dated .

The plot works badly : you are supossed to be a special agent whose mission is to rescue some hostages in a hotel sieged by terrorists .

As I said before : a very trite plot wrapped in an out-dated aesthetics .


ps - this game reminds me of El Zorro by US Gold , mainly by its looks .

From the same author of 'Monsters in Hell', this game features some of the same problems. Firstly it all happens in one screen. That wouldnt be much of a problem if your goal was interesting. It isnt. Basicaly you move your secret agent around, using an elevator, if needed, just shooting the baddies and avoiding being killed by them. You also need to avoid killing the hostages (dressed in cyan blue) and being killed by THEM. Yes! The hostages carry guns and shot at anything, even his saviour.
And how do you save them? by KILLING them! Oh yes! Is there any other way, duh?!
This is a game of scoring. You have a certain ammount of ammo, and injurie counting and if you manage that wisely you can last long enough to beat your own record.
The game features a few options in the opening menu to suport the 'simulator' tag, like the use of hostages, limited ammo or pratice mode. Try not to use this last option or you will end up playing it until you reset the game, because the author forgot the aborting key!
