Duke Nukem Advance 2002

Is it still worth playing?

Duke Nukem investigates Area 51 for General Graves after reports of an alien infiltration, in this 2002 first person shooter for the Game Boy Advance. Duke learns the aliens need environmental regulators to exist and follows them to the Temple of Amun in Egypt, where he finds a vast collection of alien hybrid creatures in stasis, an army meant to take over the world. You can choose from four difficulty levels, and up to four players can play multiplayer, each needing a copy. Because the handheld has few controls, there are four control setups, and the pause screen shows a map that you can pan and zoom, which can reveal secrets. There are 19 levels in Nevada, Egyptian temples, an Australian shopping area and an alien spacecraft, and the game lasts about ten hours. Ten hours of Duke on a handheld still make a full portable shooter.
