Big Fan of Duke...Not This Game Though

Very disappointed in this version of Duke Nukem. I didn't care for the side motion and third person view. Previous versions although DOS based were much funnier to play. Also it ran like ... on my computer running Win ME.

Don't waste your Gaming Computer and game playing time with this game unless you missing playing on your GameBoy. Limited two Dimension play with uncreative graphics. Not a true sequel.

Three words: Surprisingly Good Game

In this weird era obsessed with boring hyper realistic games, this is a fresh and fun exception to the rule. It's simple to get into, it's a blast to play, it's very over the top, and it's pleasing to the eye. The game's relative arcade-like simplicity is not a limitation, it's obviously a design, and a design well executed. It concentrates on making one thing right, and it does so with flying colors.

As somebody who has played dozens upon dozens of games over the last 15 years, I can recommend picking this game with clear conscience. Try it, you won't regret it. Hail to the king, baby.

This game *IS* 3D!

What is with all this "THE GAME SUX BECAUSE IT IS NOT 3D" bashing? This is just gratuitous bashing that has no reason to exist, because DNMP *is* a 3D game!
See the rendering options? OPENGL and DIRECT3D!
See the name of the engine? PRISM3D!
See the POLYGONAL characters and TRIDIMENSIONAL environments?
See the camera move IN and OUT, and ROTATE around ALL THREE AXES?
See Duke Nukem being able to move along CURVILINEAR paths, and the camera following him all the way?
See the level editor, where you can create ANY LEVEL YOU WOULD IN QUAKE?
If you have an nVidia video card, you can also download the STEREOSCOPIC 3D DRIVERS, get a pair of eDimensional glasses or a Z800 visor and enjoy Duke Nukem Manhattan Project in REAL, STEREOSCOPIC 3D, and see a SOLID, TRIDIMENSIONAL DUKE NUKEM move in a VAST TRIDIMENSIONAL SPACE!

On the other hand, if your gripe is that you must follow predetermined paths, DUH! IT WOULDN'T BE A SIDESCROLLER ANYMORE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO, WOULD IT?

Awesome Buy

Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project is an excellent computer game. You can fight killer pigs or women with lethal whips. Great sound, graphics, and weapons. For this bargain bin price, Duke Nukem is practically being given away.

Truth is it's a failed duke product by 3drealms !

Don't believe the others who give this game 5 stars. This game is nowhere as good as Duke3d. Sure, if you want side scrollers then this game may be good for you although it sure doesn't beat the Commander Keen series as well as other platform games out there. Moreover, this game was released as a result of 3drealms's once again failed attempt to get DNF out the door.

not up to standard

though this new Duke Nukem game is fun...it is definitely lacking. The side-scroller setup is quite annoying and makes the game confusing. thought there are plenty of pigs and babes, the game is not up to the normal duke standard. I mean...come on...the babes have clothes on!!

Very Disappointing

This is the most dissapointing PC game I have bought in quite a while. I enjoyed the earlier Duke titles and thought they were great FPS games. The Manhatten Project retains some of the feel of the previous Duke games but is not up to par with its ancestors. The biggest complaint I have is with the user interface. It is nearly impossible to control the on-screen character with either keyboard commands or the joystick. Also, the horizontal only movement and the third person perspective does not work well with a shoot-em-up such as this. I like the graphics and the game concept but control is of paramount importance in a shooter and this game just does not have it.

I just downloaded the demo, and I can not believe the released this trash. It does not even live up to it previous titles. even if you go back before dukenukem 3d, the old games are far more superior. they told and old game and put a new setup on it so it would work in windows xp. dont buy it go get aliens vs preditors, or something. i just never expected 2 steps back form 3d gamers software company, they must have fired the old programmers and have a newbee programming. It is sad said hunk of junk. if you like 3rd person shooters max payne, counterstrike much beter, that is why i quit playing dukenuken in the first place.
