This is a fun side-scrolling shooter with modern 3D effects and returns
Duke Nukem to his roots as the very first 2 games he starred in were
sidescrollers. It has eight episodes that consist of three levels each.
Your goal is to stop a madman named Mech Morphix, who is infecting New
York City with a radioactive substance that causes roaches, rats, and
alligators to change into huge, weapon-wielding beasts plus there are
some interesting end bosses. Duke's old adversaries, the pig cops, also
appear. The huge multiple-path levels include the roofs of skyscrapers,
streets of Chinatown, subway tunnels, a sewer, a tanker, and a futuristic
factory, before finally ending up on a space station. There are plenty
of rewards, power-ups, and secret areas to explore, plus it's fun to
try and find the 10 "nuke" symbols in each level which increase your
maximum health and amount of ammo you can carry. The are various weapons
including a fun GLOPP gun which counteracts the effects of mutation
on enemies, reducing them to their original form, which can then be
squashed with your foot. There are a few gameplay glitches but the game
is good to look at and fun to play. |
