Review by Kim Robinson on 12th August 2007
A reasonably large single player adventure through a city full of highly explosive buildings, light bits, dark bits, underwater areas and a lavatory or two. The level is very well designed - there's a great balance between length and detail which pretty much matches the quality of the original levels. While it is nothing more than a glorified key-hunt, the level is fun - you'll get to blow up walls, pipes and entire buildings in your quest for the nuke button and enjoy a few good firefights on the way. Puzzles are pretty simple, just a few keys to grab and buttons to press - although it is quite possible to complete the level after having found only one card (a glitch?). Take a look - more fun than a poke in the eye!

Misc. Author Info : 18/m I play any kind of 3D Shooters like Unreal and

Description : The level starts with an airplane crash and Duke lands in a
waterpool
at the top of a skyscrapper. As in the first level of the full retail version
of Duke Nukem 3D he takes the way down to the street by an air tube. Everything
seems to be silent but after some quit hard puzzles he will discover a HUGE
surprise within the buildings around the streets...
Additional Credits To : I'd like to thank everybody who tested this level and showed
me what crazy ways you can take to reach the exit. Special thanks goes to Attila
for the many hours he talked to me while I was building this level. :)
