The map's are well made with some strong entries, e.g. Plutonium Pack added a fourth episode(and a new enemy) that never really stuck with me. There's still great nuggets like 'Flood Zone' which provide an awesome setting to explore. 'Death Row', 'The Abyss').Įpisode 2 is not my cup of tea, but relative to its space theme, is good and has one really outstanding map - 'Dark Side'.Įpisode 3 seems better, as the city theme is the strong side of Duke, but can't touch the first one.
