    The hypocrisy of Duke Nukem Forever's distaste for new shooter heroes is clear early in the game. Duke is disgusted when offered a Halo-like suit of armor, asserting that his unassailable machismo is more resilient than any association with modernized entries of a genre he helped define in the mid-1990s. Yet Duke can only carry two guns at a time and has a regenerating health bar, elements popularized by the game he so readily dismisses. Read more

    Alas, what many had hoped would be a glorious trip down memory lane, is a muddled affair that lacks spit and polish across the board. Hail to the king, baby? No. Sadly, it’s more akin to, ‘Fail to the king, baby.’ And I’m genuinely disappointed that I couldn’t love the game more. In a weird way, I hope that Duke Nukem Forever makes enough money for us to see another game in the franchise—one that doesn’t take 14 years to produce—so that we can have a Duke Nukem... Read more

    • Stepping into Duke’s boots, The fact that it was released, Effective one-liners, Solid nostalgic arsenal, High level of interactivity
    • Ugly graphics, Long loading times, Dated gameplay mechanics, Atrocious AI, Lack of polish in key areas, Should have been released 10 years ago

    Every so often, you shoot some aliens. There are no surprises here: these are mostly the same foes and the same guns from . But the joy of that game's shooting has been flattened. Pig cops, octabrains, and so on occasionally threaten you, but they don't react much to getting shot, and they just sort of fall over when you kill them. Read more

    • It's fun to shrink enemies and stomp on them.
    • Long, boring platforming and driving sections, The shooting lacks impact, Ugly visuals, Fails to be shocking, sexy, or funny.
