The game uses a top-down perspective with stage-based progression. Players move through missions while managing health, ammunition, and weapon pickups. Harry can use pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and grenades, and many stages mix room clearing, pursuit sequences, and bomb-related objectives. Enemy placement often forces careful movement and constant repositioning, while boss encounters require learning attack patterns and timing counterattacks. Progress is saved by advancing through each mission rather than through free exploration.

Harry Tasker

The main character and playable protagonist, an undercover agent carrying out anti-terror missions.

Helen Tasker

Harry's wife and a major character from the film, though she appears mainly as a background narrative figure in the game.

Keep moving to avoid being surrounded, and prioritize enemies with ranged attacks or explosives. Conserve ammunition when possible, but do not hesitate to use stronger weapons against dense enemy groups. Check doorways and corners before entering new rooms. In boss fights, learn the attack rhythm first and shoot during safe openings instead of trading hits. If a stage offers supplies, clear nearby threats before collecting them.
