Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project



Total Mutant Mayhem!

Gaming's king of action returns in an all new adventure, this time in New York City. Duke battles his way across towering skyscraper rooftops and through gritty subway stations on the hunt for power-hungry villain, Mech Morphix. Mutants of every kind are thrown at Duke as he chases down Morphix through eight huge environments and avoids the green slime called GLOPP that is causing all the chaos.

But radioactive smile isn't Duke's only problem - there are more than 25 uniquely dangerous mutated enemies hell-bent on making a meal of him.  Whether it's Uzi-sporting alligators or ten-foot ball roach beasts - Duke's in town to blast bad guys and save babes.  Sure, pipe bombs, a machine gun, a rocket launcher and a pulse cannon are gonna make a goo-filled mess in the Big Apple, but what's a hero to do?

"Buy this game as soon as it hits the shelves... Possibly one of the best games of the year"
-- Gamespy

LoadedInc - 8/10 - Loadedinc Recommends
"It’s great to see a platformer make its way onto the PC and there’s probably no better character other than Duke to pull it off. Even though the game has no multiplayer, would be pretty hard to do, the game is very enjoyable. The action is fast, addictive and you do want to keep playing to reach the next section which is always a good sign. "

"Overall DNMP is well worth a look, it’s fun, addictive, the voice of Duke is superb and another important deciding factor is the game sells for a very reasonable £19.99"
