I think this the best N64 game nintendo has to offer, it not only has great gameplay, but graphics,guns, levels, and enimies.Levels were challenging(not if you had cheats)and Co-op mode was very helpful. Multipayeris probaly the best thing in the game becuase if you are an only child you can go against drones, which is fun when you have 2 people playing and 2 drones, you don't know who is who you just have to blast'em!

Old School Fun

This IS the funnest game I have ever played. If your looking for a game with good graphics, this isn't for you, though. But if your down with old school hardcore action then you need to buy this!

When I rented this game, I got bored with the 1 player pretty fast. My annoying little brother kept insisting on playing, so we began to play 2 player, and the fun began. I loved how you could beat the game in 2 player mode, which is a nice touch that Goldeneye didn't have. We raced through the games puzzles pretty quickly working together. Thats why I must say that this is the best multiplayer game I have ever had.

The Best version ever made.

The PC version is still my favorite because you can change everything, but unlike what some people say, I think this has realy great graphics. A while ago I gave the Saturn version a bad review, but I admit it had the best shading effects, they looked like an early version Red Faction's shading. The shading on Duke 64 is just like the computer version's, not bad looking, but the Saturn's was better. But on the other hand, that's why the Saturn version was [bad], to do the cool shading, they had to make a new engine, and the levels got messed up, Duke always looked like he was crouching, and all the neat effects were gone. The PlayStation version (PS not PSX, the PSX is a deluxe PS2. There are no PSX games, and no PS1 games) was almost identical to the PC version, and looks cool with "smooth texture mapping" on the PS2, but the framerate was choppy, and the graphics were fuzzy. I own the PS, PC, N64, and Saturn versions, and played them enough to know every variation, and this is the most evenly balanced version I've seen. The only version that will ever top this is if they convert the origional to open GL. Some hated the fact that the nudity is gone, but what is the point, most people probably own Duke Atomic fo PC or Mac already. And it doesn't take anything from the game. In fact the removal of nudity, strong language(explicit language) and religion adds a lot of surprises (enemies in different places, new areas). I'm not sayin i didn't like Duke Atomic, but i already have it, this is the most different version. My favorit thing is the more realistic set up of the levels (you see buildings instead of a dumb texture), and the new guns. One thing though, did they mean to [take] dual the sub-machine guns and grenade launcher from Shadow Warrior? They don't look the same, and are a lot cooler, but it seems odd. I love the Plasma Cannon, although it's a [copy]of the Tesla Cannon from the first person shooter "Blood" (I recommend Blood if you like Duke, realy bloody, shoot someone, blood slats everywhere and leaves little pools) But its still realy cool. It is so good i bought a 64. But back to Duke, the textures are not bad lookin, in fact good lookin (same as PC version). And the sprites look good, early 3D like in Quake was ugly. Sprites allow you to make more detail (compare Mortal Kombat 2 to MK4), and the animation isn't choppy. (keep in mind my 1st system was the NES and I have respect for older games) To put it another way, Buy this, and buy Duke Atomic for PC or Mac, or buy every version, like i did.
Some people say Duke's vioce was altered, but I don't think it was, it just sounds re-recorded. I just can't get enough Duke, and Forever is taking FOREVER! It's time to kick [butt] and chew bubble gum, and I'm all outta gum!
By the way, that saying is still in Duke 64 un-edited.

Duke, once again, is the man

Some say that this game focuses too much on blasting baddies with big guns to be a great game when it come to puzzles and thinking. They're wrong. At least 4 or 5 time in a level, a hidden key will be required, a secret passage will need to be discovered, and you're going to even have to have a strategy for attacking the aliens! Controlling was downright fun. Moving around was very smooth, and so was jumping, falling, and even flying (with jetpack). Graphics were awesome. From the twelve story buildings, to the aliens (and the guns), right down to your infra-green sniper vision (and the zooming feature). There were many puzzles, riddles and scavenger hunts for items, and, needless to say, there were big guns, big explosions, and really nasty aliens. ***** if you ask me, because of the well-rounded gameplay.

Come get some 64

Duke Nukem 64 isn't a bad game. In fact, it could be one of the best on N64. I don't know. I havent played much shooters on N64. But, I do own this and chaotic DM with 2 freinds and a bot couldn't get better. Quake 64 and Doom 64 can't offer this much fun. THis is essentially a port of the pc game, but with new levels and add-ons to existing levels. I recomend this game.

Not worth buying but its worth renting.

The game is fun for like 3 or 4 days. First ide like too say the good: the blood and gore is good, multiplayer deathmatches are fun, the single player mode is good for about 2 days, and that is about it, about the good. Now here is the bad: very poor and blocky graphics,its boring, if your one of the code buffs the codes are good but make the game more boring, and every time you start a new multiplayer levels you have to go back and set the codes back on, the controls you start out with are horrible( my advice is to change it to the right-hand move setting so it controls like goldeneye),during multiplayer mode when you try to shoot someone far away you dont hit them and when you try to shoot them up close they have block heads and are impossible to hit becuase they move impossibly fast!, and finally you will be bored with it in 4 days.

PC version is better

They took out too many of the cool and funny details when they converted this PC game to N64. The multiplayer is ok and if you have the cheat codes since there are a billion extra levels to play (though i don't recommend the pitch dark castle)

If you desire easy control for your game, this is Not it.

Graphics are okay. This is a pretty clean version from the computer version. However, getting around the game is not easy. This is not for beginners or people who like to be precise. The aim will move around everywhere and it feels like you can't get the screen to sit still for a second so you can blast an alien.
