Yes, the setting and scenery of duke3d is just spectacular!  It's 
cartoonish, but at least we can relate to the setting (a city looks like 
a city, a prison looks like a prison).

I just love the interactive environment (ie console screens, etc.) and the 
high point of it was in the Toxic dump, where barrels were being moved 
back and forth by an overhead claw -- very nice effect to the 
atmosphere.  Even better when I blasted an alien and his body went into 
the cycle, getting picked up and dropped off like the other barrels.  :)

Very "realistic".  I like that a lot.
