So I've been playing Duke Nukem 3D again and I must say, it's awesome. I'm rather surprised by the amount of things you have to do just to beat a level. Also the difficulty seems just right, other then those dumb lazer mines everything is perfect. I'm just annoyed at how the strafing works, if it were more like a modern shooter it would really help.
Also yes, I pretty much agree with the Crysis review, other then the difficulty curb. That game pretty much gives you useless powers and forces you to shoot with the same 2 or 3 different guns through most of the game. I must say, probably one of the better vehicle uses in a game, even compared to halo. I also remember seeing something about being able to shoot the rocket pods on a helicopter to make it blow up, or shooting the gas tanks on a tank to make it stop, but I never got either to work (shooting a gas tank on a tank will make it blow up, but he tank will still move and shoot at you). Hell, even GTA SA let you sniper helicopters in the prop to make them crash, and that game had some of the worst fighting and gun play I've seen.
