Xbox Live Arcade Review: Duke Nukem 3-D - Page 2

There are multiplayer modes over Xbox Live which play well. It’s twitch-style deathmatch play, though, so be ready for extremely quick game play. The controller seems to hold up fairly well, but there are times that you can tell that the game was designed for a mouse and keyboard. Granted, there are better deathmatch games as well as newer ones, but this is classic FPS, meaning you will be able to have a legit match for maybe a week before people move on to something else.

Of course, there are the normal XBLA 200 achievement points to be had. Some of them look like they could take awhile, such as 500 ranked deathmatch kills, but the rest look simple to obtain just by playing a bit of co-op play or by getting a dancer to "shake it, baby".

For 800 Microsoft Points, it may be a bit high for a game that many people have already played through. For others, though, you will find 39 levels of classic Duke Nukem 3-D game play.

Duke Nukem 3-D is rated M (Mature) by the ESRB for Content Blood and Gore, Strong Sexual Content and Violence.
