  If you're going to play a platform-game, pick another one.

  By schlitze_is_god | Review Date: Apr 12, 2010 | PC

  This game is like Commander Keen, Crystal Caves, Secret Agent, Biomenace, and a slew of others, and unlike some of the aforementioned games, Duke Nukem has no charm. You'll shoot the same stupid aliens, in the same s... Read Full Review

  Classic 2D level shooter

  By Stu_ponk | Review Date: Jan 09, 2006 | PC

  Typical American hero in the future. Not too sure what he was doing, probably saving the world. However lets not detract from the fact that his game was huge fun back in its day. So what do you compare this to? I thin... Read Full Review

  Classic Side Scroller Action

  By CDWilliams05 | Review Date: May 24, 2005 | PC
