Mens vi alle venter spent på Dukes neste storsatsing, Duke Nukem Forever, får vi ta til takke med Dukes 'lavbudsjetts tittel' Manhattan Project. Vi tar selvfølgelig i mot med åpne armer og skuddsikker vest.
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project er altså på trappene og slippes i slutten av mai 2002. I dag har vi mottatt en del screenshots og litt info om spillet. Her er de siste bildene, etterfulgt av et utdrag av pressemeldingen:
Once more, the world is under threat from a horde of dastardly aliens - luckily for us they seem more intent on taking our babe's hostage than plotting Earth's destruction! Unfortunately for them "The Duke" is called in to rescue these damsels in distress through 8 awesome action-packed, humour-strewn levels of New York.
"Duke Nukem is a legend in video gaming, and we are delighted to be distributing this title" said Alain Corre, Managing Director of Ubi Soft Entertainment for EMEA zones.
"We are very confident Ubi Soft's leading position in Europe will help develop the success of the game."
"We are very pleased to be working with Ubi Soft for the release of Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project in Europe" said Mike Klumper of HD Interactive. "They have an excellent reputation of distributing high quality video games, and we think Duke will make quite an impact in Europe!"
If phrases such as, "Shake It Baby" and "Say Hello to My Little Friend" bring back fond gaming memories, then prepare to waste away many hours and a host of aliens! Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project takes Duke back to his original platform roots, but Developer's Sunstorm Interactive are delivering a uniquely new platform experience, with a camera that pans and zooms, wonderfully rendered environments, a horde of enemies, a cache of destructive weapons and a large dose of humour!
