Review of Rescue: The Embassy Mission

A hugely ambitious game for the NES. You need to neutralize the terrorists and save the hostages in an embassy. First get your snipers into place in a tense, side-scrolling, portion that has you evading spotlights (and the gunners manning the spotlights), diving behind low walls and ducking into open doorways for cover. Then the game shifts to a Sniper mode, as you pick off terrorists who stray in front of any windows. Then the game shifts once more to the team that fast-ropes down on to the roof and then you rappel down the side of the building and breach and make entry. Then the game changes gears AGAIN to a first-person shooter (appropriately primitive on the NES) as you hunt down any terrorists that your snipers couldn't pick off. And did I mention there's a time limit?
