In each stage, Harry can procure three additional firearms (an Uzi machine gun, a shotgun, and a flamethrower that takes the pistol's spot upon being equipped), as well as hand grenades and anti-personnel mines, which he can switch between at any point.

There are a total of nine stages, which consist of a chateau, a mall, a park, a subway, a dock, a Chinese city, an oil refinery, an overseas highway, and an office building.

Although the play mechanics are similar, Harry's shoulder diving roll was removed due to limited controls, although all the weapons, except the flamethrower, are included.

Next Generation reviewed the SNES version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, stating that "ten entire levels of this get plain monotonous".

[6] A reviewer for Next Generation was also pleased with the Genesis version, remarking that the game is fun to play and true to the film it is based on.
