Summary

Inventive and colorful, but still not as good as Doom

The Good

Duke 3d is for many THE Doom beater. I cant deny that it has quite a bit more variety in environments and is richer in all kinds of cool things to discover. Great graphics for their time.

The Bad

Too foolish to provide an atmosphere, certainly not as tense as Doom. And in the end its combat, the first principle of an FPS, is inferior to the classic it rivals. Duke's weapons don't have the impact of Doom's, and enemy shots are many times too fast, creating battles of constitution instead of Doom's skillful dodging moves.

The Bottom Line

After a while you'll just want to see the next level, without going through the tedium of the battles.
