Manhatten Project is quite surprising and actually a great game!
The game takes place in "The Big Apple" where a madman Mech Morphix, is using a mutating substance called GLOPP to mutate every small creature and bug, like rats and roaches into big weapon-wielding monsters.
And this starts an adventure through huge levels in The Big Apple!
The gameplay it self is not the best you could have seen, but still fun. There's also a little puzzle-solving in the game and new side missions, like saving the babe and collect all ten "Nukes" in a level. And Duke still has his sick and twisted sense of humor with him: "Rest in; pieces!"
The boss fights isn't the best either. A boss is simply just a normal enemy, only more powerful and intelligent. But this isn't the most satisfying experience. The weapons isn't actually the best you could want. There's too little and it gets boring in the end, because the only guns you need is the rocket launcher and the machine gun.
The graphics is of course new to the Duke Nukem genre. The 3D design is great in many ways, but has some glitches and bugs. The monsters and Duke Nukem himself is looking great, actually! And the level designs is also great and very variated. The weapons looks great also and the background in the levels is also great.
The sound has some ups and downs. The weapon and explosives sounds is a mixed reaction. But Duke himself sounds more funny and twisted than ever: "Motherf*****' keycards!" And the monster sounds is a little disappointing, but no big deal.
There's actually replay value in the game! The levels are fun and sometimes you can get enough of it, so when you've finished the game once, you have to start all over!
The GooD:
- Fun, exciting and variated levels!
- The new 3D design is superb!
- Cool voices and sounds!
- Funny gameplay and lots of replay value!
The BaD:
- Extremely bad storyline.
- Boring and uninspired boss fights.
- Some graphic glitches.
- To few weapons.
Overall Duke Nukem: Manhatten Project is a surprisingly good game, and could be recommended, to all Duke Nukem fans!
- please recommend this review and I'll recommend yours!
