Duke is still battling through a futuristic Los Angeles (at least for the first episode) in an attempt to thwart the attempts of evil aliens who are trying to steal all of earth's women. The single-player campaign on Xbox 360 is exactly the same as you remember. Some might be annoyed by it, but I appreciated the nostalgia and the feeling of reward when I did complete a stage. It was up to the player to navigate their way through the level, no matter if that meant looking for a crack under a swimsuit calendar or noticing cracks in a destructible wall. The level design is very convoluted, and sometimes players might feel overly frustrated with their lack of progression, but that's simply the way games were back then. Or at least that's the way it seems on some of the levels in DN3D.Ĭlick here to watch the video review. It's from a time when developers were less concerned with ushering players through their game and instead created ways to stop them from progressing. For those who didn't play the original release, Duke Nukem 3D comes from a different time in gaming. Now, the game from 3D Realms is landing on Xbox Live Arcade, complete with new multiplayer features and that same great single-player campaign that everyone remembers so fondly.
Still, Duke Nukem 3D was home to plenty of solid, innovative gameplay mechanics that include being the first FPS game to deliver a jetpack and the ability to swim. Now that sort of activity is commonplace in a world of videogames where you can have sex with prostitutes and then ruthlessly slaughter them.
