Now supports "Drag to look" controls as well as dual stick!THE ORIGINAL KING OF ACTION RETURNS!With dozens of Game of the Year awards under his belt, Duke remains the King of Action. Larger than life action is what Duke is all about, mixed with humor and innovative explosive action in this 20+ hour game. Los Angeles. Under attack by aliens intent on stealing our chicks for breeding. Duke Nukem springs into action dealing damage like only he can, making his "insightful" comments along the way. If you've never played a Duke game, this is your chance to see why he's been a fan favorite since 1991, with over 18 original Duke Nukem games since that time. Duke Nukem is not the typical faceless hero -- he's an in-your-face hero who has a personality that doesn't quit. Yes, it's a B-movie plot, but that's what makes it fun!THE PRESS HAS ITS SAY!Metacritic Player Rating: 9.4 of 10."It's the ultimate game for unleashing all your pent-up aggression. It is the most astonishing game we've laid our eyes on for ages! In fact, it makes pretty much every PC game we've ever seen - "Doom" included - like slightly dull. Honestly!" -- PC Gamer"It's more inventive, and more entertaining, than "Doom." I know they've had long enough to get it right (but so have many others, who've tried and failed)." -- Computer and Video Games "It's rare when a game comes along that really kicks your ass. With its free-flowing 3D action, over-the-top weapons, and ruthlessly attitudinal protagonist, Duke Nukem will have PC gamers worldwide rubbing their rumps with spine-tingling glee." -- Gamespot"I couldn't stop laughing while playing this extremely enjoyable trip through what unfolds like a 1950's science fiction B-movie: Space Aliens Invade Earth for Women!...Duke Nukem has what most first-person shooters don't - character!" -- PC Gameworld If you like Duke Nukem 3D, also be sure to check out Prey Invasion, based on the award-winning game by the makers of Duke Nukem.Duke Nukem 3D (c)2009 3D Realms, Inc.

Not quite as good a port as Wolf 3D, since it's controls are a bit more complex, but still it's Duke 3D.

I'd never played this version, I was just looking at reviews after noticing that the app description told you how to config the controls, but those options were absent. Glad to have a more informed opinion. chess Well-Known Member Jun 17, 2011 436 0 0 #5 chess, May 17, 2012 I found it pretty much unplayable due to frame rate, but I have a 3GS, so that might be the problem. Definitely a slide show. Borgqueenx Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2010 583 4 0 #6 Borgqueenx, May 17, 2012 controls couldnt be worse on this game. they need to look at some gameloft games. EfratBarTal Well-Known Member Mar 5, 2011 2,351 17 38 Female CEO Tel-Aviv #7 EfratBarTal, May 17, 2012 basically they need to implement gyro for looking around, and continue from there. Borgqueenx Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2010 583 4 0 #8 Borgqueenx, May 17, 2012 no. they need to make it one stick, and second part no stick but swipe to look around and then tap right side to shoot. simple, good, no worries. right now its clunky weird and not intutive and you get killed all times becuase of the controls.

Gunlock Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2010 472 0 16 #10 Gunlock, May 18, 2012 I wasn't expecting this game to be updated, it is nice to see it got some attention from the devs. So I reinstalled the game today and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. Controls finally make the game playable, and they are not that bad as I was afraid after reading comments here and on iTunes. The game is definitely more enjoyable than before. Yes, the UI is still crowded, but it is totally customizable, you can move buttons where you want + change sensitivity of looking around in the options menu. Im using joystick on the left to move around/strafe, center swiping to look around and modified position of buttons placed on the right side of the screen. Works great. Maybe it is easier for me because I played 50+ hours in Mission Europa which had similar, a bit complicated controls, so maybe a matter of experience I'm playing on a non-jailbroken 3GS, iOS 4.3.3 - framerate is easily around 30fps all the time, no matter what is going on on the screen. Anyway, great update for a great classic. For free I really dont see a reason why anyone shouldnt pick this up.
