In fact, playing through the game just looking for the Easter eggs, can be just as enjoyable as playing it to slaughter pig cops. Some of the eggs in this game are so far reaching in scope from pop songs to movie and television references, as well as nods to and comments on pop culture events. Each level contains various weapons, items and Easter eggs. “What’s the problem with all these aliens attacking Earth anyway? How many alien races have to get their asses kicked?”ĭuke slammed his fist into the waiting eject button.įrom there, the first of three or four episodes of the game are started – three in the regular edition and four in the Atomic Edition, which is the one I’ve been playing. “Great,” Duke grumbled as his careening ship missed a skyscraper.
