I feel like Duke Nukem II has aged a little worse than the first game. I played this using the RigelEngine sourceport which worked perfectly, it even had options for widescreen and smoother scrolling than the 16 frames-per-second original. But without these settings, I believe that the 16 fps cap really hurts this game with how chaotic it can get and the narrow field of view makes it even harder than it already is to avoid damage. I also miss the exploration aspect from the first game, I no longer feel encouraged to explore the levels as all upgrades are temporary and I don't care about getting points. It's worth noting that this game actually has a soundtrack which is better than Duke Nukem 1 which had no music, it's funny though that they made a blatant copy of the entire chorus from Skin O' My Teeth by Megadeth (no complaints there). The game also seems notably longer, I didn't time my playthroughs of either of the first 2 Duke Nukem games, but this one felt a little too long for me and I was playing the game more to finish it than out of personal enjoyment towards the end. But it's still a fun game overall, I'm just a little disappointed after liking the first game so much.
