Shadow Warrior is the game that comes closest to Duke Nukem in style, gameplay, and level design. It has its own bag of tricks, including sword combat, controllable Build engine vehicles, and a mini nuclear rocket launcher that clears entire rooms. Unfortunately, it's also packed with nearly every Asian stereotype you've ever encountered, from coolie hats, fortune cookies, and naked anime girls to the severely broken English of the hero and his double entendre name. Like Duke Nukem, the goal was to push the boundaries of taste as far as they could to make an explosive pop culture experience. They pushed too far with Lo Wang. Duke Nukem was crude, but he fit the action hero template of 80's and 90's pop culture. Lo Wang is almost a throwback to the racist cartoons of World War 2, a character that exists to mock himself. The game is huge, there's plenty of Build engine mayhem, and the level design is first rate for a game from the Doom era. It would be easier to recommend if it wasn't so reliant on racial stereotypes for its humor.
