Duke Nukem 3D

Replete with everything parents and congressmen love to hate, Duke Nukem 3D is first-person gaming at its ultimate. Violence, sex, humor, originality and more long-term fun that you can shake a double-barreled shotgun at.

Duke Nukem 3D kräver en snabb dator, en 486 66:a är ett absolut minimum, men på rätt maskin är det här ett suveränt spel.

The gameplay is a lot of fun. Most games of this genre have simply been the run around and shoot things type, and Duke is no exception. However, this game has an exceptional quality - fun! It's just more fun than most others of it's kind. It's the little things, like seeing yourself in a mirror, finding an alien on the toilet, or tipping the strippers, that sort of thing. It all comes together seamlessly to make a superb game. Bottom Line: 3D action with an edge. Humour, weapons, and lots of little extras make this more than worthwhile. Highest recommendation.

Insgesamt war Duke Nukem 3D bis zum erscheinen von Half-Life der absolut beste Ego-Shooter und auch heute noch ist er den meisten Neuerscheinungen absolut überlegen. Man sollte sich von der Grafik nicht abschrecken lassen, ansonsten verpasst man ein Spiel mit einer riesigen Interaktion, hohem Kultpotential und Unterhaltungswert.

Længe har id Software med DOOM været den overlegne enehersker, men nu er en ny stjerne født! 3D Realms har med Duke Nukem 3D vundet den lange kamp med et pletskud, og har dermed også markeret ægtheden af et rigtigt 3D-spil! Fra nu vil man ikke længere sammenligne denne type spil med DOOM, men med Duke Nukem 3D — køb det nu!

Duke Nukem 3D:n shareware-versio onnistui todella yllättämään. Paitsi, että se tiristi jotain uutta kuoliaaksi kopioidusta Doom-genrestä, se myös tyrkkäsi itse herra Doomin valtaistuimeltaan.

I honestly think Duke is more than value for money. It's more inventive, and more entertaining, than Doom. I know they've had long enough to get it right (but so have many others, who've tried and failed), and I know that with Quake about to hit us, things have moved on in the meantime. Someone in the office said that this looks like a cartoon, and Quake looks real. This is also true, but that doesn't mean that this isn't a great game in its own right. We like it a lot. If Apogee don't make much money on it, they'll only have themselves to blame. They've timed its release really badly: it should have been out six months ago. But it's still good.

Duke Nukem is not really revolutionary, but it is very good game. The well known (by now) first-person format lends itself well to Duke, and the game sucks you right in. Even more fun are networked games where you get to blow away your friends. The thing that bothers me most about this game is the inevitable 'Duke Nukem Movie'. All this publicity is bound to become more personally irritating to me than anything since 'The Dukes of Hazzard'.

Duke Nukem 3D är bland de mest actionpackade, hysteriskt intensiva och roligaste FPS som går att uppleva från den gamla skolans skjutaspel. Jag spelade aldrig mot kompisar på PC, utan mina minnen från att sprätta vänner med RPG är med linkade Playstations och fyra kontroller till Nintendo 64. Det är förvånande roligt att bara spela en mot en på grund av Jetpacks och fällor. Det är kanske inte lika revolutionerande som Doom, inte lika snyggt eller lika bra i multiplayer som Quake, men det är originellt nog för att man utan vidare kan vänta tio år på en uppföljare. Visst är det nostalgi, men nostalgin räcker bara tillräckligt långt för att få dig att börja spela. Det är Duke Nukem 3D:s råa, otämjda energi som får dig att fortsätta.

Duke Nukem 3D is worth the download time to try at the very least and worth buying when you find you like it. Duke Nukem 3D's only major weakness is that there are only about 9 different alien creatures in it but you'll hardly notice with the various locations and vast maps you have to explore. If you've played the shareware game then I strongly urge you to buy the full game, you won't be disappointed!

Duke Nukem 3D ist ein Muß für jeden eingefleischten Actionfan. Die fast schon revolutionäre Grafik und die vielen kleinen Gimmicks fesseln stundenlang an den Bildschirm. Lediglich die etwas komplizierte Steuerung und die nur latent vorhandene Story lassen sich als Kritikpunkte anführen. Wer sich bislang mit diesem Genre nur wenig anfreunden konnte, sollte trotzdem einen Blick riskieren.

It's rare when a game comes along that really kicks your ass. 3D Realm's full version of Duke Nukem 3D is just that kind of posterior pummeler. With its free-flowing 3D action, over-the-top weapons, and ruthlessly attitudinal protagonist, Duke Nukem will have PC gamers worldwide rubbing their rumps with spine-tingling glee. Prepare to take off your thinking cap and immerse yourself in a world of violent bliss. The ballots have been cast and the verdict has arrived: The Duke is A-#1.

Duke Nukem 3d's Stärken liegen ganz klar in den Waffen, den ersten Levels und v.a den coolen Sprüchen. Aus heutiger Sicht ist es komplett veraltet - es stören v.a. die Sprites und die Tatsache, dass man es ohne Port nicht unter Windows XP spielen kann. Wer allerdings das Spiel mit dem High. Res. Pack spielt, kann auch heute noch Spaß daran haben. Mit diesem Spiel landete 3D Realms Entertainment seinezeit einen der größten Hits.

Again, why bother? Because just when you think that you're done with this silly, boring game, and are just about to exit and erase the whole bloody thing, something happens. A floor collapses, something blows up, or Duke may say a funny line - and trust me, the lines are very funny. And that is what makes DN3D fun. Passable action, intense gore, and a genuinely twisted sense of humor. If you're looking for the next big thing in computer gaming, try Quake or something, but if you're in the mood for big guns, big bangs, and big fun than try out Duke Nukem 3D.

Gameplay is ultimately what we're interested in, and in this area, Duke is the king. But so what? If 3D Realms really wants to impress us, they can move beyond this type of gameplay. Because as good as Duke is (and make no mistake, it's really good), you just can't help but think that someone needs to take this genre to another level, kind of like those guys called id did back in '92. Have any of these games really changed from Wolfenstein 3D? Perhaps that's part of their appeal - their familiarity. Kind of like the buddy flick and the romance novel, nothing really changes, but that doesn't stop people from spending their money on them. If you really messed with the formula, would everyone rejoice over your innovation or would they merely say they liked the old way better? Who knows, certainly not 3D Realms, who are milking the genre for all its worth.

La Terre, quelques années dans le futur. Alors que les Etats-Unis dominent le monde et que tout va donc pour le mieux, de vilains extra-terrestres décident de s’en prendre à la suprématie de la bannière étoilée. C’est alors qu’un héros se lève. Cent kilos de muscles, des cheveux blonds décolorés à faire pâlir d’envie un GI, des lunettes de soleil et tout un arsenal de gros flingues, de munitions, de gadgets et de vannes à deux balles. Le héros des héros est né. J’ai nomme : Duke Nukem. Pour les archéologues, ce n’est pas un inconnu, puisque ce personnage était déjà présent dans les deux premiers volets de la série, des jeux de plates-formes somme toute assez classiques.

Unter den Computerspielen gehört Duke Nukem 3D eindeutig zu den geschmacklosesten. Seien es nun die arroganten Sprüche, die vergossenen Pixelblut-Liter, das Eliminieren von Frauen-Sprites oder Töten ganzer Monsterhorden - Gewalt pur steht auf dem Programm. Das Geschehen wirkt aber derart übertrieben, daß man es eigentlich nicht ernst nehmen kann - stellen Sie sich den mit zehn schweren Waffen und zahlreichen Munitionskanistern bepackten Blondschopf einmal bildlich vor... Nichtsdestotrotz ist die Action vom feinsten, mit stumpfsinnigen Ballern läst man keine einzige Mission.

I still pop Duke Nukem 3D in my computer from time to time, though. It’ll never replace the Doom games in my heart, but it’s still a pretty fun kill-a-thon that, at times, does show some nice innovation. Unfortunately, it’s just a bit TOO much like its predecessor for it to stand out in my mind as a particularly noteworthy game.
