What a cool
game - It is totally fun!!! The nice thing about
Duke Nukem is that it doesn't take itself to
seriously. Duke Nukem3D is the third chapter in
the series, and the first with a 3D perspective
(the original Duke Nukem and the sequel, Duke
Nukem II, are side scrolling platform games).
This game, set sometime in the early 21st
century, begins in a ravaged LA, which was
overtaken by aliens while you were abducted
during Duke Nukem II. Duke, upon returning to
Earth, finds himself with another mess to clean
up, and another alien race that needs
exterminating.
Your job should you decide to accept it is to
blow all of the aliens away. There is the usual
assortment of weapons available like the Pistol,
Shotgun, Pipe Bomb, RPG (Rocket Propelled
Grenade). Plus there are a few new ones, like the
Microwave Expander, Devastator (Miniature Stinger
Missiles), and of course the Freezer (which
freezes your enemies, so that you can shatter
them). Duke is a lot of fun, it is like being in
a comic book, everything is blown so far out of
proportion.
One of the nicest features about Duke Nukem 3D is
that a level editor is included. Which means that
you can create your own levels to challenge and
baffle your friends. The editor is a real pain to
use but there are books available and a couple of
sites
have pretty good instructions.
