Duke Nukem Forever is finally here! Put on your shades and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are invading and only Duke can save the world. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses can’t stop our hero from accomplishing his goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it.
The King arrives with an arsenal of over-the-top weapons, non-stop action, and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts the pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle the many hot women that occupy Duke’s life - that is if you can pull yourself away from destroying alien invaders. With hours and hours of over-the-top single player action, and a range of bodacious multiplayer modes, rest assured knowing the fun will last. Duke Nukem was and will forever be a gaming icon, and this is his legend.

Expectations were just too high.
GAMERamble | Dec. 1, 2011 | See all GAMERamble's reviews »So in the end, Duke Nukem forever didn’t turn out to be the uber game that everyone was expecting. For what it is, though, I still had a lot of fun playing it. The game was longer than average, which is always a plus and there are some good ideas packed in there as well. I could have done without all the murky underwater scenes, but while annoying, it didn’t ruin the game for me. Bottom line is if you approach this game with the mindset that it is going to suck, then it obviously will. If, on the other hand, you take it for what it is, a fun, but flawed shooter, then you’ll have a good time. The important thing is to try it for yourself and form your own opinion and not just jump on the game-bashing band wagon.

Duked
Mondu | Sept. 16, 2011 | See all Mondu's reviews »Considering this game took over a decade to make it's a pretty terrible game. I imagine the only reason this game is selling is because of the Duke Nukem series name, once people actually play this game themselves they will be severely disappointed. The story is boring, cliche and predictable, which I suppose is to be expected as it's a Duke Nukem game, but it's not fun either. Everything feels same-y. Walk to point B from point A via a straight and linear path while shooting enemies and prattling off some obscene comment. This isn't the Duke we have been waiting for.

Fail to the King
lonewolf80 | Sept. 15, 2011 | See all lonewolf80's reviews »Duke Nukem Forever is Gearbox and 2K's take on a Duke Nukem sequel, which had been trading hands between developers for around a decade. Gearbox promised fun over-the-top action, along with some adult humor. However, what we got was an unpolished excuse of a game, one that disappointed long time Duke fans. The game's original two weapon limit (now increased to four) seems off. Unlike the original games of the series, Duke is limited by his small array of weapons. The game seemed as if it was developed off a previous generation engine, and animation and graphics seem to be lacking polish. The developers try to make up for their unfulfilling repetitive gameplay by inserting an excessive amount of nudity and "dirty jokes". If you're not a big fan of gameplay, and are in it for juvenile jokes and pixel porn, Duke Nukem Forever might just fit you. Otherwise, stay clear.

not quite worth the wait.
nintrower | Sept. 7, 2011 | See all nintrower's reviews »Duke Nukem is incredible, the original one, that is. he was the OG parody icon and his self absorbed mannerisms fit in with the times, and DN:Forever could have been great but it fell short. it couldn't figure out if it wanted to be an oldschool FPS or another COD-along. the shooting feels inconsistent the weapons aren't satisfying and the graphics are sub par at best, albeit thats what happens when you use several different engines during one Dev cycle whats worse is that the game never really hits the way the 3D did the comedy is outdated and it took potshots and games that it wished it was as good as exept maybe halo haha. al in all if your a fan youll probably like it, and its not bad, but its not good either w

I'd Hesitate To Call It Terrible, But It Is
Korrd | Sept. 2, 2011 | See all Korrd's reviews »DNF could have been... well, it could have been better. I won't say it could have been a great game, because that's perhaps a somewhat unrealistic expectation. What we got, though, didn't even come close to living up to potential.
I wasn't offended by DNF. Quite the contrary: we all knew what to expect of him. I think in that regard, Duke's attitude and behavior just weren't interesting. We all knew who and what Duke was 15 years ago. Unfortunately for DNF, that's really all he brought to the table.
Duke Nukem 3D was a groundbreaking game. It employed a lot of features that hadn't been seen before. I remember being amazed and delighted to look at a TV screen and see other parts of a level in real time, or laying a pipebomb minefield to kill a friend in LAN, of shrink-raying bad guys and squishing them under a boot. These were brilliant gameplay elements that made me look at games in a whole new way.
Fast to forward to DNF, and all we got is a rehash. Nothing really new to speak of, just the old stuff regurgitated, and all of Duke's eccentricities brought center stage, as though that was all DN3D was about and all Duke has to offer. Hell, maybe it is. Maybe those great features I loved in DN3D were just accidents and it really was just about Duke and chicks and dirty jokes. Maybe the game, like Duke himself, really never had the potential to be anything more.
Or maybe the Duke torch was picked up by people who lacked the creativity to do anything interesting with him, and we got stuck with DNF as a result.
Either way, I committed a gaming sin while playing DNF: I couldn't even bring myself to finish it.
