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.

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.

Best game EVER

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!

Duke Nukem 64 hails from the PC hit DN 3D. Same levels same storyline,except, more levels, and new weapons. Cool huh? It's not done yet, there's even a co-op mode and vicious deathmatches. I own it, and it kicks major butt! A good buy and bargin.

A Perfect Port of "Duke Nukem 3D"...Sort of

"Duke Nukem 64" is the Nintendo 64 port of the hit PC game, "Duke Nukem 3D". While I enjoyed the original "Duke 3D", the N64 port didn't seem quite as good. It's been slightly toned-down from the PC version (Nintendo wouldn't allow Duke to say certain things, or the girls in the game to show certain parts of their bodies), but nothing too major. It's quite gory, and Duke himself has some hilarious and sometimes off-color comments. The assortment of weapons is fantastic, from Laser Tripbombs, to the Shrinker/Expander gun, which can shrink your enemy so you can squash him like a bug, or make him expand until he explodes. A few of the enemies are a bit unimpressive, but, some are rather unique. While there's alot of action in "Duke 64", there's alot of puzzles, as well, which can really stump you. Sometimes, you might spend more time looking for the exit than blasting nasty aliens. The graphics look pretty good, if not a little bland at times. Having some better lighting at points wouldn't have hurt, either. "Duke 64" also runs very nicely, usually only slowing down during those BIG explosions. My biggest gripe, though, is the sound. The quality of the sound effects is good, with weird alien growls and other neat ambient sounds, but the music is...nonexistent. There is none, aside from the title screen (which sounds great). This can be a bit annoying to have complete and utter silence while solving some complex puzzles. There's nothing in the background to keep you going. Although alot better on the PC, "Duke Nukem 64" is still not bad. If you have a decent computer, get "Duke Nukem 3D" instead. But, if you've got nothing but an N64, and are craving some nice, DOOM-like action with a bit of humor thrown in...maybe you should consider getting a nice computer or "Duke Nukem: Zero Hour". That's my two cents.

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.

Great Multiplayer

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.

2-1/2 stars actually...

Duke Nukem is 1 of my favorite games. Just the FPS series I mean. I played this, and single player was ok, but not too good. It was hard to control for me and to go thru a lot of complicated structures. I mean, u could beat the levels, but it's hard for me to move around.

What's really good about this game is the 4 player deathmatch mode. All in 1 N64. It's fun to kill my friends, and the Dukebot too at the same time. Only some levels like Stadium and LA Rumble (highly recommend) are good for multiplayer, since the rest r too large and more for single play.

If ur a hardcore Duke fan, get this. But if not, and u like action and FPS games, rent it first. Be sure to try the multiplayer mode! it's fun.

OK, Not Great.

My advice on this game is to rent it. It's not worth buying. The animation is junky, plus the areas are so limited. If you are going to buy a game like this, get Doom 64.
