Duke Nukem 3D (iPhone)
Oct 4th
Oh dear.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
This was free over the weekend and having downloaded it, I’m amazed they ever had the gall to try and charge money for it.
It’s terrible.
Oh, of course the game is the same old Duke we know and love, but the controls simply don’t work. There are a million options, but none of them are any good. The analogue sticks, well, aren’t. The digital controls are just bizarre. Worst of all, it re-centres your view when you move. After wrestling with the game for ages I finally get myself lined up just right, take a step forward and suddenly I’m facing straight ahead again.
ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Lord, it’s terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible. And yet I keep going back to see if I can get used to it, because a playable Duke would be lovely to have on my phone.
I do hope that one day I’ll come back and say that I’ve been too harsh on this, but I very much doubt it.
