So I picked this up at the local used game store for $5. I played a lot of the Duke games back in the PS1 days. Had Total Meltdown, Time to Kill and Zero Hour. They were fun in that period but that stupid, douchebag humor doesn't really work today. Sure I laughed at some of the stuff in the game but it's more of a 'you actually said that?' way. The game itself when it comes to the shooting and movement is fine, not great but playable. When it comes to the more complex mechanics like swimming and platforming, holy fuck it trips all over itself. The swimming is almost unbearable and the fact you have to be right over the air vents and not an inch to the side of them to get air just adds to the frustration. Also forgetting that in the past they had scuba gear that lasted longer in Duke 3D, back in the fucking 90's. The whole last part of the game at the dam is pretty awful but once you start the water level and on it's at the peak of the shitpile. There is a section where you are running up a stairwell as water is flooding the area and explosive barrels and regular barrels are flying down the stairs. Two hits from either and your dead, this is on normal as well can't imagine the rage on higher difficulties. There are little cubbys to the right that you can hide in but wait too long and the water catches up and slows down your progress. Died about 8 times back to back on that each time wait half a minute to have it reload the same part over and over. I'm not sure why they even bothered putting it out, I think Gearbox did it's best to fix it up and for the most part sure its a mediocre title worth maybe $20 bucks but I can't even imagine paying $60 for it.
