Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project

I picked up Manhattan Project expecting the loud, dumb fun of Duke 3D. Instead, I got a clunky isometric shooter that feels like a PS1-era budget title that missed its era entirely. The premise is pure Duke cheese - aliens invading New York, you're the only guy with a gun - but the execution is flat. Movement feels sluggish, enemy AI is basic, and the camera angles make targeting more frustrating than tactical. There's a co-op mode, which is the only thing that might salvage a few hours with a friend willing to laugh at how dated this plays. This is a relic that didn't age well and probably wasn't great even when it released. Gearbox published it, but Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project has none of the personality that makes the series worth revisiting. Skip it unless you're hunting every Duke game ever made and have low expectations already wired in.
