Just like the good ol' Theme Hospital.

Honestly, if you don't own Duke Nukem 3D in some form or another... Why not? You NEED to get this.

This legendary game is just as amazing as it ever was back when it was new. What more do I even need to say? Classic FPS at it's absolute finest. So much fun wizzing around, blowing the ♥♥♥♥ out of everything and, of course, wasting countless hours watching pixel boobs. It has aged very well and I'd still pick this up and play it anyday over any modern day shooter.

That, and it comes with extra episodes, more bang for your buck and more replay value. Add on the fact that there are so many custom maps and mods and whatnot to expand the playability... You really can't get any better than that. There's no reason to ignore this game.

Seriously, get this. If you don't, you are a donut.

The game is pretty good for what it is, nice visuals, sounds, variety of cars and whatnot but it's ruined by a serious flaw. The difficulty is insane. This certainly ain't a game for the kiddies, I'll tell ya' that now. There are two problems that factor in together for this.

The first is that the physics are very aggravating at times. It is borderline inconceivable to maintain any sort of speed when attempting to corner. You will either end up having to slow down to a crawl or letting off the acceleration for a brief second and doing subtle taps in order to turn but that still annihiliates your speed. It may be easier with an analog control such as a joystick, wheel or a game pad but I haven't tried this.

The second is that the AI opponents are EXTREMELY brutal and relentless. They WILL shunt you at any opportunity they get and you WILL eventually get spun out and there is nothing you can do. Simple as that. If you do get spun out, you lose, good luck catching up afterwards. Get used to it. You could still try by saving your nitros but I wouldn't count on it.

This game is actually quite a lot of fun but you'd either have to be extremely lucky, have a lot of patience or just like losing races every now and then in order to enjoy this. For a game that you would play for about 20 minutes each time, it shouldn't be this difficult.
