Trivia

Sam Stone dons a t-shirt to replace his tank-top from the first game. Strangely enough, the opening cutscene recounts the events of the first encounter with Sam wearing a t-shirt instead of his tank-top. Rumors abound that this was to make the character look a little different from Duke Nukem.
