Seems they've fooled a few folks, but not me. They slap the name Duke Nukem on an old Mario Bros engine and expect it to hold it's own in the wake of games like SOF2, MoHAA, RTCW and GTA3!
Installed & tried the game, deleted from my HD, resealed the box and promptly returned it for a full cash refund- What a waste of time and effort- Weak pizza!

Dont' Buy this Game if you liked Duke Nukem 3D

If you liked Duke Nukem 3D, you may hate Manhattan Project. I've just wasted [amt] on this game. Problem is that you CANNOT move forward or back! You can ONLY move left or right. I thought there was a problem with my joystick/keyboard/config/etc but No that appears to be the way this game was made. I ran Duke 3D and it worked perfectly. I was really looking forward to this game and am a little upset at the [dummy] who decided to make it a "side scroller" as it just does not make sense. This is exactly why people "borrow" software and I wish I would have done that as I could have saved some money.

No where near the fun of Duke Nukem 3D

Regretably this not the same type first person shooter as Duke Nukem 3D, this is a sorry Acrade style spin off that I've since gotten rid of and I warn people away from purchasing.

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.

I can't believe they actually released this...

Talk about living in the past. This Duke is so ... it isn't
funny. In the User's Guide, they pretend that their using the
old technology (the so-called platform sideways style) is a trip
into nostalia land. And Duke's narration/comments sounds like
they lifted the entire speech file from Duke NukeM 3D. Not to
mention that they changed what keys to use for action. If you're
used to playing other games that use keyboard input, it's
gonna take you a couple of days to get used to the way they
laid out the keyboard. Don't waste your money on this one.

Side scroller, no 3-D. The first Dukes were much better. Save your money for Doom III. You'll find my copy of DNMP on eBay in a bit.

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.

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.
