User Reviews

What an entry! Phew!

The popularity of Duke3D easily rivals that of Doom and Quake and even exceeds them in some cases, even though the latter mentioned were technological breakthroughs when they released. In a way, Duke3D was also a technological breakthrough on a smaller scale and had groundbreaking interactivity but what made it stand out was Duke himself and for the first time ever, a computer game actually had attitude. But that itself was nothing compared to the fantastic level design, sounds and artwork which were all quite ahead of other games at the time. The music by Lee Jackson was also stuck in a lot of people's minds. Sadly since a lot of the original Duke3D staff have been fired by 3D Realms, people may remain a bit skeptic if the sequel, Duke Nukem Forever, will deliver an experience on the same scale?
