Duke Nukem 3D (PC) Reviews

Any FPS player worth their salt has played Duke Nukem, a series that has since evolved into numerous third person outings. However, Duke Nukem 3D is the entry that is most people's favourite, as it marked a generally change towards 3D games in the FPS genre rather than the tiresome 2D "rail shooters" that we'd all become so accustomed ...  Read the complete review

Released in 1996, 'Duke Nukem' is an early first person shooter that relies on the Blood engine, a fairly basic pseudo-3D engine that allows for limited looking up and down and employs sprites as enemies rather than the 3D models that were to follow.The plot, if it can be called that, is that aliens have invaded the earth and stolen all the ...  Read the complete review

Back in the old days before Call Of Duty, Quake and Chicken Run there was Duke Nukem. Loved by many gamers and always on a head to head with the Doom series. Some people loved Doom, some loved Duke Nukem. Me, I loved both. I have to say though Duke Nukem was always the coolest out of the two games and Doom was the eeriest. In Duke Nukem ...  Read the complete review

Duke Nukem 3D is a first person shooting title released for the personal computer in late January 1996. It follows on from the series of the same title, but features a somewhat revolutionary pseudo three dimensional gaming experience which was not typical of titles at the time. It was met with a slew of controversy due to its explicit violent and ...  Read the complete review

6 time. 6 whole times. 6 WHOLE BLOODY TIMES my PC crashed while I tried to run Duke Nukem. My old 486 played it fine, so it's least you could expect from a recently new Pentium 3? Isn't it? First of all it's the sound. Every other old DOS game has an auto sound card detect program. Not this one. Oh, and should you choose the ...  Read the complete review

This game has become something of a classic since its release and various updates and add-ons have followed. But really what we have here is a game which is far inferior to such titles as Quake and Unreal which does little to justify the cover price. For those who do not know this game, DN3D is a first person shoot-em-up in the style of ...  Read the complete review

Duke Nukem is a Doom clone, i.e. it's a shoot 'em up played from a first person perspective. While Doom was hailed as revolutionary (despite being based on the game Wolfenstein 3D), Duke Nukem offers little over Doom (or any number of the other clones, for that matter). Doom was ground-breaking. It brought the first person perspective ...  Read the complete review

While Quake remains the classic shoot 'em up, along with doom (and even Wolfenstein 3D) and Half Life and Deus Ex show the new generation of game, Duke Nukem 3D offers that same shoot 'em up feel to a game, but with a novelty value. From the outset there are strippers, pigs in cops uniforms and porn theaters, the levels are quite linear ...  Read the complete review

Sitting here at my Athlon 900, surrounded by a stack of new games. I find myself restarting in DOS, typing "duke3d" and within seconds the cheesy music starts. I played this game to death years ago, and then on my games console. Coming back to this game was great, classic gaming at it's best. In 800x600 resolution it ...  Read the complete review

I think that the graphics in this game were good in its time but now there are better games with better graphics out! and duke 4 ever will be really good! the thing i like about duke nukem 3d is that when you blow a creature up then ...  Read the complete review

And all of the other catchphrases that he comes out with. What a fine game this is and continues to be. I own Duke Nukem,a Time to Kill and it is a superb game. It involves Duke Nukem, an all American guy that likes his firepower and, fighting. In this game you start off in the City where you have to collect Crystals and teleport ...  Read the complete review

I discovered the merits of that paragon of political correctness Mr Duke Nukem a few years ago thanks to my father in law, who was spending a lot of that time 'nuking' away the evenings. At that time, it was probably the best 'splatter' game on the market, and with hindsight, I think that it has a lot to offer that is lacking from ...  Read the complete review

Take away the old graphics (or just use your imagination) and you have got one of the best shoot 'em ups around ever! It was the first of its kind and people should respect that! OK the graphics maybe look dated (Ok, their ancient!) but the gameplay factor keeps roping me into my computer! For the people who dont know who or what is ...  Read the complete review

Everybody knows that DN3D is the classic 1st person shooter, with fantastic gameplay and hints of a cheeky bit of humor which can only add to the likeable lightheartedness this game is famed for. In this game is a quality abandoned from most gutsy, gory games of the year 2000, and if it wasn't for the fact the sequels have done a diabolical ...  Read the complete review

Duke Nukem 3D is a follow up of the classic, it has three level types which all take long to complete and are all completely different, aswell as this, for the PC, there is a lock if you don’t want your kids to see the full extent of blood and guts. The guns are also something to be admired, and the levels are all different. There is an age ...  Read the complete review

In its day, this game was an absolute stormer. One of the first generation of first person shooters, it was a battle to the death against a bunch of mutant aliens. It was completely cliched but it was very, very fun. It was fantastic, admittedly its graphics were not true 3d, and neither was the world it was played in, but the levels were so ...  Read the complete review

This game was one of the first 3D shooters introduced to the PC, I am going to review this game based on technology of release time. The game lets you play Duke Nukem, an Arnie sort of Terminator guy, you ahve to go through the game meeting baddies from a different planet and kill them. The game apart from the baddies is realistic, the guns ...  Read the complete review

There is no other way of putting it I simply love this game. Fair enough some might say that the game is too old and that the graphics are poor by todays standards and they would be right. But no game no matter how much money is spent on it can get away without playability, something that Duke has in abundance. Unfortunately I no longer own a ...  Read the complete review

This was a quantum leap from the platformer Duke Nukem but brought more action and faster more combative game play to the 3D arena previously populated by Wolfenstein/Doom/Doom II. The blockier, by quake 2/3 standards, graphical appearance guaranteed a combat game full of pace on even modestly specified PCs and provided better detail that ...  Read the complete review
