 This is the Only Opinion You Need, 2000-03-09
Duke Nukem 3D is a GREAT game for enthusiasts of DOOM. You will get lost (and have fun) in its cities for hours. Also, you can set it to REDBLUE mode, obtain some cheap REDBLUE glasses and see the whole thing in true 3D. It's amazing.
AS GOOD AS ANY GAME CAN GET, 2000-02-17
This is only the BEST VIDEO GAME EVER MADE! The graphics are incredible (at least good--I only wish that everything was a little more 3D-like), the phrases are hilarious, and the action and violence... Oooh... Now THAT is ONE GOOD GAME! I only wish that my computer wouldn't freeze every time I die or enter some of the cheat codes... Oh well, you know Macs... Take my advice... GET THIS GAME!

Not the same old "Doom", 2000-01-26
Too many first person shooters are essentially a throwback to the earliest days of computer games: a maze of twisty passages, all alike.But Duke inhabits if not the real world, at least something recognizable as a world. There are light switches and elevators and (with the add-on disk) burger drive-throughs and, yes, lots of half-naked women. And it's all interactive. Sure, some of it's goofy (interactive toilets are probably fairly pointless), but it makes for a great game: Wandering into the darkened men's room, you can see in the mirror that an alien's waiting to ambush you by the sink. Toss in a pipe bomb and step back and trigger it. One of the all-time great games, and I can't wait for the sequel, "Duke Nukem Forever."

The Duke kicks, 1999-12-18
Cool, cool, stuff. This game is awsome, far better than the first and second Duke. The Duke sayings just kill me. You need to buy this game. It will be well worth the money. Just AWSOME.

As far as shooter games go..., 1999-12-15
Duke Nukem, while nothing more than a mindless shoot'em-up, is perhaps the best of its kind. It has a very fast engine! It runs very smoothly even on my relatively old computer and using the full screen. The scenery is more realistic than the dungeons of Quake and Unreal. Instead, you're fighting in the city with grovery stores, subways, sewers, and the occassional nuclear facility.The foul language, sexual induendo, and rude comments can be funny, but for those concerned about young minds, you can turn it off and keep it off with a password. The surround sound effects are engaging, especially if you have a good set of stereo speakers or headphones. The game also has the capability of multi=player gaming with computer-controlled players, but they are very fast. It is supposed to be useful for testing user-created maps, but they can prevent a real challenge. The Duke gets my endorsement, especially for the speed, sound, and real-world setting.
