Duke is relaxing in Bootylicious with a few beers and some babes when suddenly Pig Cops start trashing the place and turn his custom hog into a chopper bike.
Duke trashes all the Pig Cops and then finds out that the aliens are trying to get to the past in order to take over the world before Duke was there to stop them. The game includes 28 levels in total, varying from L. It also has a deathmatch mode that allows two players to wreak havoc against each other.

Get ready to have your fragile sensibilities skewered, wussy, 'cause there's enough suggestive skin in this game to make Madonna blush. But amidst all the toilet humor, you'll find a solid title that will make Duke fans say, "Damn, that's good! The music could use a hard-rock whupping, too. We'll keep you updated on how Time to Kill shapes up as GT finishes up work on the game. One of the perks of being in this industry is that I hear about games before the rest of the general public.
I can never get enough of that Duke attitude and blasting action so I knew it was going to be a long wait. Well, the day has finally come that the new Duke is on the shelves and more things have changed than just the name of the game. You can bet that one thing has not changed and never will: that Duke attitude. Duke Nukem Time To Kill takes Duke on an adventure back through time into some of the classic eras in history.
Does this mean that the game is going to get all educational on you now? Hell no. This just means that you get to see strippers in all different periods of history. Duke is no longer played from the first person perspective but is now played from the third person, ala Tomb Raider.
Oh, by the way, this won't be the first reference to Tomb Raider either. What a difference a year makes. Not only does Duke have his own game developed exclusively for the PSX instead of a PC port but Duke is now played from the third person.
This means that you will see every move, shake, scratch and gesture that old Duke makes. This is a first for our hero and to be honest, I think it works quite well. To give you an idea of what it feels like to play this game, think Tomb Raider with more blasting of bad guys and less bouncing of, well, let's just say that there is less bouncing. Sure, Tomb Raider has sold millions of copies and the reason is more than just because of Lara.
The games are actually fun to play. So if you enjoy Tomb Raider for the gameplay but think it needs a little more pig splattering than this is the game for you. One of the reasons that the Tomb Raider games have sold so many copies is also because of Lara. Sure, the gameplay is good but there are also people who bought the game because of her. There is only one other character in all of videogames that I could ever feel compelled to but a game because of.
That other character is Duke Nukem. Actually, external traits aside, I think Duke is actually a cooler character than Lara Croft is. He has a kick ass attitude that revolves around blasting pigs and scoring with chicks.
I can't think of a better person to model my life around. Well, maybe not, but let's just say that my other half hates it when a new Duke game gets released because I walk around the house talking like Duke for the next two weeks. Some people will just never grow up. Duke's latest adventure has him traveling back in time to stop the aliens from killing off his distant descendants. See, it turns out that they aliens have figured out that if they go back in time and kill Duke's bloodline, they will destroy Duke.
Sounds like a great theory except they did not count on Duke finding the time machine. His first stop is the old west and this is just the beginning. One of the best parts about this game was the whole time travel element. I think they did a great job of making things look like they really would. In the old west level, Duke wears a cowboy hat and boots. In the Rome level, Duke wears a toga. A lot of the weapons are specific to weapons of that time period and the scenery is just awesome.
As with any Duke game, you will find yourself coming across a ton of different weapons to help you in your quest to save the world of today. You will find your standard shotgun and such but this game also has some pretty cool weapons that have not been seen before. Duke can find anything from a throwing knife to a freezer gun.
My personal favorite is the RPG that launches grenades and blows up everything with a foot radius of the explosion. This little baby is very handy for clearing out crowded areas.
The weapons in this game are one of the main things that set it apart from other games. There is just no comparing them to the Duke. Since this game is played from the third person perspective, the developers were able to develop levels and world that were much more open. You are not limited to a constricting corridor any longer. They also added some elements of a platform game which was good and bad.
It was good because it keep the gameplay varied but it was bad because sometimes Duke was a little difficult to control and jumping could be a nightmare to pull off. I think that the developers realized that the jumping was difficult because in most place where you are making jumps you have water underneath so you will fall into the water and don't splat on the floor.
I just had a really difficult time getting Duke to jump with any precision. It seemed like I would either overjump or underjump. There was one area that took me at least 30 minutes to pass because I could not make the stupid jumps. This was pretty frustrating but luckily there were not too many instances like this. One thing that I really did not like about the game was the save system.
I could not save my game until I had completed a level. I did come across checkpoints where I could continue from if I died before I could save.
The problem with this is that the levels are pretty long. Some levels can take up to five hours to complete. Now that is a long time to keep playing without saving. If you die, you either go back to a check point or start from the beginning. This got really frustrating because I would die and start a level over a few times and it got old playing through the same stuff over and over again. I even paused the game and left my PSX on overnight because I did not want to turn it off and have to start things over from the beginning.
Gone for the most part are the pixel graphics of Total Meltdown. Since this game was designed specifically for the PSX, the developers were able to spend some time making it look good. They did a pretty decent job as well. There is plenty of blood flying around and the strippers were really good with the metal poles at the beginning of the game. The swimming portions were also done well and it looked like I was really swimming underwater.
Actually, the graphics are very similar to Tomb Raider. I recommend purchasing this game if you live to blow stuff up and have a good sense of humor.
