It's not fun at all. It's depressing. Duke's long-awaited comeback has turned him from genre innovator to wheezing has-been. In the time since his last outing, the likes of Halo, Battlefield, Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto have all gone from nothing to world-conquering, genre-defining juggernauts. Even within his own narrow niche, Bulletstorm and Gearbox's own Borderlands have taken Duke's irreverent shooter crown and made it their own, and it seems that after a decade and a half on the shelf, the self-proclaimed king no longer has the muscle to claim it back. Duke Nukem Forever attempts to turn back the clock, but can't even get that right.
Good thing I cancelled my pre-order a short while before launch (Although I did it to buy something else). Although I guess I'll see what I make of it once I buy it. I've never really cared for game reviews anyway.
let me tell ya the pc version is not better the game is just pure fail on every level, i thought it couldnt get worse then brink this year but o man was i wrong
Then maybe I'm wrong, i'll still check it out since i didn't play the demo. But growing up with Duke is always a must-buy for me.... Nothing can be as worse as COD right?

Great review....except this guy was 2 when the first game came out and probably never even played.
I spent hundreds of hours mapping, modding and playing this game. Regardless of what this guy says the game is nothing like or compared to the original.
I was talking about the humor, not the ability to carry weapons. But yes, it's not EXACTLY like Duke 3D, but it's closer than any other game has come yet.

I still remember playing Duke Nukem 2, the side scroll one and that was cool at the time. It sucks to hear that the reviews arent great, but I hope the fans of the series will say otherwise.

I think the point is that it feels different enough from CoD, BF and every other shooter that has came out in the past 5 or so years that people should give it a shot. I think we all knew it wouldn't be perfect.
Not surprised by this review at all. They tried to bring back the funny and over the top shooter that he once was, but that was over a decade ago. Things change, people change, and games have already come out since then that did what Duke was suppose to do and did it better imo. Won't be touching this game.
11 years in the making and it's still crap. Reminds me of Chinese Democracy.
