The graphics might not have aged well, but the majority of the gameplay has.Duke Nukem 3D is a first-person shooter video game developed by 3D Realms. Duke Nukem is one of the fathers to the FPS genre and his most successful adventure can still provide plenty of thrills even after all these years. It's a modern touch that makes the game all the better. Being able to rewind just before dying at a challenging part means that there's no fear of losing progress and you can quickly test out a new strategy.

There isn't much in the way of new content in this re-release. There's enough enemy variety to lead to many diverse encounters. Even playing through it with up to 8 friends (online co-op only) it can still provide a challenge on the harder difficulties. The weapons are awesome and it's got that retro punch in the difficulty department to give it some teeth. Combat, while obviously a touch dated, still feels really good. However if you can handle a little mature content then don't worry about it. Things like the game having half-naked women in it and having player go through areas like a porn shop caused a lot of controversy when the game first released. There are also some things that might offend people and I'm not talking about violence. There's always something to laugh at here. Especially with so many great references, parodies, and one-liners.
Navigating the smut-filled levels is still a blast.
There might not be anyone online in this version anymore, but that's not a problem because it's the single-player that has the real appeal here. It's one of the fathers of the genre and is still worth a look. Often regarded more for it's controversial themes and sense of humor rather than for it's actual gameplay, this old-school FPS holds up very Often regarded more for it's controversial themes and sense of humor rather than for it's actual gameplay, this old-school FPS holds up very well after all these years.
