Played on the Evercade Duke Nukem Collection 2 cart.
As far as third person ps1 action games that pretty rip off Tomb Raider go, this was a lot of fun. Silly action and violence coupled with a bit of exploring and a nice variety of levels and a surprisingly great atmospheric score, this is a much improved version of Time to Kill.
The controls and interface has been tightened up, to the point where it makes the previous game feel even jankier. Obviously, its outdated views, misogyny, stereotypes etc bring it down, and I can't help but see Duke as nothing more than an ageing gym bro Benny Hill, but it was still full of daft one liners and great action.
I remember enjoying this one back when it first came out. I think I picked it up for dirt cheap as it was around the time the ps2 was coming out so PS1 games were getting marked down everywhere. I was pleasantly surprised by how it played back then, and once you're used to the controls, it still plays well today.
A fun time, only brought down by how 90s it is.

This game is about as good as Time to Kill. It controls mostly the same, for better and for worse. Duke still controls like a tank. The gameplay is largely the same. However, there's 3 things that make this a worse experience.
First off, the bosses range from boring to outright tedious. Second, there's several under water levels and, again, Duke moves like a tank. This is worse underwater. Third, the last levels are mostly filled with aliens using freeze throwers who launch a homing enemy at you when you're frozen. You get frozen in about one hit too, making these sections extra tedious.
It's nice seeing different enemies though. Even the aliens look unique. The story feels very Duke Nukem (well when you're not doing busy work, like going to the library). The weapons are mostly good. If you liked Time to Kill you'll probably like this one up until the end. I only rate it so low because 3rd person action games have gotten much better. Back then I'd rate it a 7, fun but far from amazing.

It's fun I guess
bought it for the title alone, tomb raider but with my man dukey
The highlight of the series for a character that should probably stay in our memories on the ps1 and no further generations.
