while Duke Nukem isn't quite as "tactical" as other Build games like Blood, it makes up for it in style and pure fun. i always get a healthy rush of endorphins whenever anything explodes in this game and Duke says one of his one liners. he's one of the most raw protagonists ever conceived
admittedly, episode 1 beats out the other two episodes by a decent margin. that said, i still enjoy both episodes 2 and 3, with 3 being a little bit better than 2. there are a couple of enemies i'm not fond of, like the kamikaze flyers that the game spams in episode 2 and the big flying fat guys that sound like the ugly bastard tag on rule 34. otherwise, i think Duke Nukem has some great, solid level design and a very satisfying game loop. most everything FEELS good in this game, and that's half the battle in a shooter.
