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!

This will always be one of my favorite games. So what if the graphics lag 15 years behind the system! The space station levels in particular are really creepy. It has elements which make it feel a bit like Doom 64 in that some areas are very dark and have horrifyingly ugly monsters, yet in DN64 there are some monsters that also move incredibly fast and who try to sneak up on you! Some of the puzzles are a bit too hard, and the first two bosses are a nightmare to try to beat, but overall it is a really good game. It must have at least 30 levels and they are good, long levels. I would highly recommend it to anyone who can tolerate, or even enjoy the simply aninimated graphic violence.

It rocked and kick ass back in the day .........

I won't lie this game was really cool back in the day and i play it with utter pleasure,(at that time) it was only my second 64 game i ever borrowed, sure the graphics was stink and at times the game play frustrating the heck out of me, however this isn't one i'll call a classic it's no Zelda, Perfect Dark , Donkey Kong 64 and i can go on and on, if you don't believe me try to play this game now!!!! you will find yourself saying yuk! yuk! yuk! "n" i am being nice, it's worth a try but most likely true gamers will find it bogus, it has not true replay value and all in all it had it's time and that's all it will ever have, in my opinion, for those who loved it i am no psychologist so i can't say whats your problem is but!!! maybe you need to play real good game laterzzzzz folks / gamers.

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.

This is one of the best shoot 'em ups on the 64. This game is pretty much the same as the PC version, but with more levels, extended levels / or added bits and peices, and a few new toys.

It pretty much feels just like the PC version but it's a little darker on the graphics. You will have to run trough the game control settings to find the right feel for you if you're like me and where used to using the keyboard.

Most of the cool stuff is still there from the PC game. There is the same sayings, some new ones, same levels etc.. whats missing is the adult content the PC had packed into it. So some things are different like, there is no strippers dancing around, and you can't go up and press OPEN to throw them money, and the posters are different etc... infact the second levels strip club has been completly re decorated into an out-door loading dock with trucks. Thats a bit of a disapointment that that stuff was replaced to tone it down.

There is some new toys to play with, but overall, there isnt enough weaopens. There is a hand gun, shot gun, machine gun, plasma shooter, grenade thrower, shrinkin ray, enlarging ray (new weopen! enlrage youre enemy till the explode!) and a few other ones. But compared to something like Goldeneye, there feels like harldy any guns to choose from.

I used to love to use cheats on the PC version, and with this 64 version, there are a couple of cheats, but there's none to walk through walls which I do miss.

(...)it's pretty hard to stay alive, so turn the god mode on and enjoy it.

Always bet on Duke

This game is the best! 4 people OR 4 DukeBots (computer controlled multiplayer opponents, hella cool) to challenge in multiplayer, each higher difficulty meaning more bodies flying in the air(you can have ppl and dukebots play at the same time), 2 player co-op, and one heck of a single player experiance. Who wouldn't want to save babes while bustin in a movie theater shooting alien scum all over the place? Pig cop with a shotgun? Introduce him, to your grenade launcher, BattleLord giving you a hard time??? throw him a pipe bomb party! Your options of fighting opponents are endless with dukes arsenal of guns ranging from shotguns, sub machine guns, grenade launchers, missle launchers all the way to trip mines(great in multiplayer), and shrink guns which allows you to shrink your opponents and crush like a bug with your 15 size boot. The guns are the best yet in an fps. The gameplay is hot as well, your environment is your playground, use toilets, blow up toilets, bust open a movie screen in the theatres, discover cool secrets by blowing open walls, PLAY POOL, the list goes on. Bust open aliens as you make your way saving babes, searching for key cards, finding hot new weapons, and having one helluva time. Do you have what it takes to save earth from aliens, can duke save his babes before aliens use them for mass production (weird, I know), always bet on Duke. Are you bored of my review and eager to get this game??? STOP READING THE THING AND GET DUKE NUKEM 64!!

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.

great multi player

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.
