IGN: Duke Nukem 3D Review & Video Review

IGN writes: "When Duke Nukem 3D released in 1996 gaming had yet to be inundated with risqué title after risqué title. Back then, Duke was the only game in town that had mothers ripping cords out of walls at the sight of the game's titular character handing a "professional dancer" a wad of ones to flaunt her "assets" at the camera.

Now that sort of activity is commonplace in a world of videogames where you can have sex with prostitutes and then ruthlessly slaughter them curbside. 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 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."

"hail to the king baby"

duke's shotgun ftw

graphics 4.5? ok,ok but why give vc games higher while they looks the same?talking about being bias.

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

Only on the 360.The 1997 graphics prove it.

[StuffRokz]

considering the game originally came out in 1996, graphics from 1997 would be pretty good for this particular game, no?

Bubbles Stuff!

LOL you wasted your time talking to that retarded muther fucer looking for attention because he doesn't get in the real world hence why he trolls every 360 thread trying to post first to get props from other trolls and get under others skin.

Microsoft should release something better than age old and graphically dated games to excite gamers. This looks like a$$ cheaks.

[JOLLY1]

have fun with your tilt control. I will have fun kicking @ss and chewing bubble gum. On a side note, too bad the sixaxis doesn't have motion control just a hokey tilt controller.

[KingME]

Are you for real. This is the release of a classic not the "remake of a classic". In addition MS don't own the rights to the Duke Nukem IP, so it's not up to them to update the graphics. So stop show your inability to not be a fanboy.

I love this game, and to me it's cool seeing the same way it looked on the PC. Now we're comparing duke nukem with wipe out? Simply a grasp for the straws of hate.

[ape007]

duke nukem>the whole wipeout series

[PirateThom]

You noob, Duke Nukem 3D is not only the greatest FPS of all time, it's one of the best games of all time. As good as Wipeout is, it'll never compare to The King, baby.

[LuigiLogik]

That was the corniest review i've ever heard, game looks sweet and brings back a lot of memories.

[enjoi187]

lol at you lord sushi yamgotosoaodajffoi......small penis you have..your mom told me when she was sucking on my egg roll

[MGRogue2017]

I loved it back in the day, and I still do today, Of course I'm going to buy it.

[kewlkat007]

I think I was running MMX instructions on my Pentium..

Between 96-2000 PC just Dominated with great titles. Though 1998 was the best year for Gaming.

I still have to pick -up castle crashers before this one...

[blooodFrenzy92]

its soo funny how people r comparing this to wipeout.

yeah whats better a port of one of the greatest games or another racer

[PirateThom]

Whoa. Hold on, in my defence of Duke above, I'm now going to have to defend Wipeout.

Wipeout IS anti-grav racing. The pace, weapons, challenge and tracks make it the height of racing games. Wipeout has some of the greatest gameplay of any racer, because reflexes and timing are key to winning.

"another racer"? Pfft. Fatal Inertia is "another racer", Pure is "another racer", Need for Speed is "another racer". Wipeout is in the same pantheon as Gran Turismo and PGR.

[kwicksandz]

Wipeout is one of my favourite racers. love the music, the art style and the speed of the game. One of the few times i really feel like i missing out without a ps3.

cmon sony xmas price drop!

[IQUITN4G]

I was once quite the loyal fan of Wipeout to the point that i got very good at even it's hardest modes.Quantum Redshift is a better game however
