Duke Nukem 3D

There was no way in the world that this game could become successful! Even at the time the graphics where nothing new, after Duke 1 and 2: the story line was nothing new, within months of it's release Jedi Knights and Quake 2s started cropping up but all of these latter games had one ingredient missing: they didn't have Duke. The ultra violent, blonde haired, muscle bound he-man with a big gun was back and this time he had a mouth like a trash can and big breasted woman throwing themselves at The Man. Duke Nukem appeals to many people because his goal wasn't to save the galaxy as a whole, it was to score with babes! And the next time you get mad because you're blown away in DukeMatch remember these words of advise: Guns are cool, bones heal and chicks dig scars.

Duke Nukem 3D is the most action packed video game ever. There are plenty of villains, some can even kill each other, saving the player weapons and ammo. I won't tell you which ones but they are awesome to watch. There are so many weapons and accessories that you won't find a way to be bored with this game unless someone takes it away from you. I recommend this to all video game players who haven't played it before. Go for it!

Duke Nukem 3D has all the action of today's video games, coupled with humour, and secrets that keep you searching for hours. With today's advanced computer hardware even a simple system can take full advantage of the features of this game.

It offers cheat codes, as well as a range of difficulty levels, the easiest being laughably easy, and the hardest leaving sweat stains on your computer room chair.

I have replayed Duke Nukem 3D many times, always entertained by the humorous endings to boss battles, which I will not reveal to prevent spoiler warnings. All I can say is BUY THIS GAME!

This review is for the XBLA version.

Back in the mid 90's, a legend was born; gracing the screens of PC and console gamers alike with his brash, no-holds barred bravado with tongue-in-cheek goodness ever comprised for one of the greatest video game heroes of all time blasting alien scum in the streets of a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, outer space, and back on Earth. A cultural icon among the brightest corners of the virtual spectrum, Duke Nukem ushered in a new breed of hero at a time when virtually none had any and propelled the hero we know and love into popularity. Now, on Xbox Live, gamers all over the world and newcomers can experience the Duke like they've never seen before with new features such as the ability to "rewind" the game to a previous point, usually when you get killed by an enemy, fall into a bottomless pit, or simply by blowing yourself up, presumably with a rocket launcher or pipe bomb. This feature is really innovative in execution and gives you a bit of strategy. The game is no cakewalk but for seasoned Dukesters, it's a walk in the park. But that's not all. You can also earn achievements by fulfilling certain requirements within the game that unlock a few surprises. Finally, you can play offline or online with your fellow Dukesters for some balls-to-the-wall splattering action with the addition of leader boards for tracking your progress for best times and number of kills. My only gripe is that you can't play in HD mode. I know some people are nostalgic, but I would've loved to see Duke in HD.

So...is the Duke worth playing again? The answer is YES!!! If you never had the pleasure of playing Duke Nukem 3d back in the '90s and have an Xbox 360, get this game and prepare yourself for one of the funniest, blood-soaked high octane action-packed games of the world.

Hail to the king, baby!!

Rated M for Strong Violence,Blood,Gore,Language and Sexual Content.

Duke Nukem 3D is the first 3D Duke Nukem game and the third game in the Duke Nukem series.I have not played the first two Duke Nukem games but I have played Duke Nukem Manhattan Project.Duke Nukem 3D changed the series.The first two Duke Nukem games which came out in 1991 and 1993 were just simple platform games.Nothing special.Duke Nukem 3D however changed the series into an ultra violent,profane and sexual horror video game with elements of humor.This game is a lot like Shadow Warrior(which was made by the same creator).Duke Nukem 3D's graphics may seem dated by today's standards but this game will remain a classic in my book.Duke Nukem 3D is about a bad-ass action hero who always scores with the babes who has to save the world from aliens.With funny one-liners and lots of blood and violence Duke Nukem 3D is a game you wont want to miss.

9/10
