Duke Nukem 3D is supposed to be great fun, another awesome production by ID. Duke Nukem has always been the classic shooter back in it's 2-D side-scrolling days, only to return in the much more vulgar 3-D guts, blood, and sex. Well not so much sex, but plenty of unnecessary innuendo and references. Siding with Quake, it was yet another success in the FPS lineup. This was true until the Mega Drive had its own port. Only here is how poorly games can really be, especially 3D on 16-bit. It should have went to the 32x with its counterpart Doom right? Maybe. Or maybe it shouldn't at all. Here's why.

Graphics-2/10
What looks like the innards of a refrigerator is actually a moon base. With its extraordinary gray floor, wall and ceilings, its enough to make you puke. They do eventually change it up a bit with real design, but not good enough to actually fit next to each other.

Sounds-4/10
From the mellow beat of its "music" to the lasers and pistol shots, machines blowing up, and aliens making a quick Aaaugh!....not much to actually like.

Story-2/10
Stop the evil aliens from overcoming you and taking over the Earth. Simplistic and to the point, which makes it very brief.

Gameplay-2/10
Now this is where it gets really bad. I find the easiest difficulty to be downright obscured because of the controls. They flat out suck. Killing the very first enemy I'm subjected to be 30% health down. Having an incredible experience of playing FPS, the controls in movement completely ruin the enjoyment for the player.

Buy/Rent
I don't recommend either or. Any other port will do just fine.

This game was doomed to begin with. So late in the system's life, and with newer games already in the 64-bit, Duke never had a chance. It's very surprising to see a port of a 3-D game especially on a 16-bit console. How it was ever done is beyond me, but it does exist for some people. Being in Brazil only in 1998, a very limited amount was probably made, so it should retain some value on it. As advised, the graphics have been severely stripped to having any sort of realism, difficulty is at a maximum, and controls have diminished to the point where the games appropriate use is in the trash. Definitely not something to recommend anybody, unless your after to insult the person.
