    If your a fan of old school fps games then duke nukem 3d world tour is the game for you. Coop multiplayer and an extra episode for $20 is a steal if you did not purchase the megaton edition on the ps3. Shame its only a gamestop exclusive.

    Ah memories of my late Twenties with too much time. Duke is back in his original form and witty banter. Finally for the Console, and much easier to play with a PS4 controller.

    -1 Point for the "updated graphics mode". They (Gearbox) could have went a bit deeper with the two graphics modes. Offer either Original mode (w/1996 look) or Modern with updated graphics/shading etc. Still a    Ah memories of my late Twenties with too much time.

    Still a solid game and reminds me how far games have come in the last 20 years. If you are a long time Duke fan, this is a must.

    I had a lot of fun playing this game again. Old episodes play just how I remember. True 3D rendering makes the game look a bit more modern, looks nice. The new episode is really fun, classic Duke Nukem alien ass kicking. Nice new feature allowing you to continue after death wherever you please (from beginning of your playthrough, to the moment right before your death).

The new episode is really fun, classic Duke Nukem alien ass kicking. Nice new feature allowing you to continue after death wherever you please (from beginning of your playthrough, to the moment right before your death). Trophies, including a pretty easy platinum are a nice bonus. The sound effects are not very good honestly, seem to have no notable improvements. I also wished they could have remastered or just remade entirely those little cutscenes at the end of each episode. Looks terrible after completing a level in true 3D rendering. There is also a multiplayer mode which I haven't really tried yet. Just a quick game of deathmatch at Hollywood Holocaust.

    Pretty cool package all together. Will probably be playing this version whenever the Duke 3D fever hits me again.    … Expand

    Really sad about this product. The online Multiplayer is just not working. For lots of friends, other players an myself included it's not possible to Play Coop/DukeMatch for more than a Minute or even start a Game. You get kicked out of any Game or Enemies an other Players just lose any connection to Duke Nukem Online service.
    Another big problem is that you immediately Run, when you go    Really sad about this product. The online Multiplayer is just not working.

    Just like the original Duke Nukem 3D but with stupid political BS changes like a poster for freedom fries with a "Now with 50% more xenophobia" line down at the bottom. I'm so sick of Gearbox's obsession with "isms" and "phobias" that I'll be actively avoiding them in the near future. I want to play games without having the creator's political bias jammed down my throat. Is that too much to ask?

    Awesome game, still not as good a series as Doom but probably it's closest competition. Deadpool creators should be sued for ripping off Duke's sense of humor and attitude. Funniest game character of ever

    I was hoping I could have all the campaigns, we don't have another opportunity to play them and it would be great if this were ported.
    Multiplayer should be more objective, it's not easy to find someone to play with.

    I was sad about some things censored.

    A trip down memory lane.
    Its exactly how I remembered it and I enjoyed all the same.
    My main gripe is that its missing a bunch of add-ons due to licensing issues, which is a massive shame.
    A couple of days to an easy and enjoyable platinum.

    I bought this game about a year or so after launch. It was on sale for around 10 bucks, so I thought "why not?" When the game works, it works good. Fun to play and explore levels, just good old fashioned FPS gameplay. Unfortunately, every time I played the game there would be an error with the software that occurred every time I played it.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game to fix it, but nothing fixed it. It sullied my thoughts about the game and I would warn anyone who considers buying it now to be aware of the this issue. I don't know if they make physical copies of the game or if this issue occurs on it as well, but I did hear that the Xbox One and PC versions of the game worked relatively fine, so if you're really looking to play this game, please play either one of those versions. There's a good game here, but I literally cannot play it.… Expand

    I grew up with this game on my first PC and haven't played it since. It's still a really good game. I don't know why people are moaning- I am guessing cos they bought it in previous iterations and object to paying again. If you fancy a nostalgia trip and also one of the great FPS's then why not? New levels too- can't argue with that.

    Nothing to say, just that it's fantastic and the bonus content is great too. HOWEVER I read that after this released more official episodes/chapters were released for PC.

    Awesome! Just plain awesome.
    This is one of the best first person shooters ever made, a 10 can not possibly convey the awesomenes that is Duke Nukem 3d.
    So buy the game, grab a shotgun (and some steroids) and blast some pigcops into a messy porkchop pulp!

    In spite of some omissions and technical issues, Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour remains a classic. The original game design is tough, fun and interactive. For those who weren't around when this was first released, the engine change is less jarring than the old design and the new episode is quite good. At its current asking price of $20, it is tough to recommend no matter how big of a fan you are, and those who missed out on the Megaton Edition on PS3 and Vita or those who simply want it on PS4 would be better served waiting for a sale.

    Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour doesn't enhance the titular protagonist's classic FPS ride in any massive ways. That said, it's a whole lot of fun, and it's perfect for people who want to revisit the game and for those who are fans of old school shooters.

    All in all, Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour is the perfect homage to the original by capturing the essence of the classic while adding new visuals, audio and levels. Moreover, its humorous social commentary remains a welcome presence in a current scene that is sorely lacking it
