The remaster is nice, as is the new episode, but the fact that the Megaton Edition was taken down for this instead is just sleazy. While Megaton wasn't quite as optimized as this, and lacked the new episode, it was bundled with ALL the expansion packs--Life's a Beach, Nuclear Winter, Duke it Out in DC, and Duke Assault. Not only this, but the Megaton edition went for a full ten dollars less than this "new" edition. This edition essentially cuts half the content of the Megaton edition and jacked the price up X2. To add insult to injury, Gearbox went out of their way to actually have it so that the Megaton edition was removed from Steam and other digital distributors. Really appalling, as far as I'm concerned. If you must get this edition, then do NOT pay full price. Do not pay more than five dollars for it. Wait for a sale.
well, i honestly can't recommend this version of Duke 3D. First of all Duke Nukem 3D is a fantastic game, but if you already own the superior Megaton Edition (Warning: This review will compare the World Tour Version to the Megaton Edition an AWFUL LOT), then you have no reason to buy this, unless if you are a Duke 3D fanatic. Here is the main issue, Gearbox removed the Megaton Edition from sale off Steam and GOG (WHY?!?!?!?!) and decided to re-release their own "version" so to speak. But this new version is missing the extra expansion packs Duke it Out in DC, Duke Nuclear Winter and Duke Caribbean, previously present in the Megaton Edition, also they are charging 20 bucks, compared to Megaton's 10 bucks. They do include a new episode, which is great, and remastered voice lines by Duke's original voice actor Jon St Jon. But for some unknown reason, the sound effects sound compressed, while Duke's Voice sounds High Quality, it sounds really strange since the voice lines sound Crystal Clear but the Sound Effects sound muffled. And the game has no FOV slider, and you can't deactivate auto aim. If you never played Duke Nukem 3D, i would wait for a sale, or search the internet for a copy of Atomic Edition, and run it using the EDuke32 port. However removing a much superior product, and replacing it with a much expensive inferior one is a blatant cash grab, shame on you Gearbox.
