Duke Nukem 3D represents an emerging shift in the first-person shooter genre. With other eye-catching entities in the new wave of shooters, Prey and Quake, Duke is a certain level-up from the games which preceded it. The full release is now available on PC, featuring a complex and full-voiced one-player mode with over 30 levels as well as a competitive multi-player environment. Players have access to a built-in level designer for easy construction of custom stages without the need for any additional software or add-ons. Weaponry includes the usual pistols and machine guns, but the fun shines through with nifty shrink rays, freeze guns, and laser mines bring a touch of lighthearted cartoonishness to the ultra-realistic shooter. Enthusiasts will likewise fancy the surplus amount of gruesome action and blood-filled battles that grace the hi-res levels in Duke. For those who played the shareware version, we highly recommend sending your registration in for the complete package.
