Product Review

Put on your sunglasses 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 back and only Duke can save the world, again. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses won't stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a badass while doing it. The King of All Shooters is back with over-the-top weapons, massive aliens and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke's life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names. Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history, and this is his legend. Experience the action and creativity derived from the pedigree of one of gaming's most innovative and respected developers

Duke Nukem Forever is a First-Person Shooter (FPS) that finally resurrects the infamous Duke Nukem franchise. Designed as a blend of the over-the-top ego, humor, risqué scenarios and un-PC attitude that players of the original 1990s PC game releases will still relish, with for technological upgrades that modern gamers demand, Duke is definitely back and better than ever. Features include: a gameworld full of interactive opportunities; over-the-top humor; outlandish settings, vehicle driving, and puzzle solving; Duke specific multiplayer modes and more.

Heroes Come and Go, But a King Reigns Forever


Did the Alien bastards not learn their lesson the first time? Duke has been on hiatus for some time now, kicking back and franchising himself on the fame he gained from saving Earth from the first invasion. The Aliens have returned to Earth yet again, messing up Duke's sweet routine of dirty leisure habits. The Alien invaders are stealing Earth's women, especially the hot ones! And they drank Duke's beer. This-Won't-Stand. As Duke battles his way through waves of aliens, the once beautiful gambling haven and Duke Nukem franchise chains are crumbling before his eyes. Time to bring the pain

Duke Nukem is one of the biggest and most recognizable brands in gaming history. Irreverent, UN-PC, and uber-Macho, Duke Nukem is the perfect antidote to the overdose of today's clichéd gaming archetypes. The game's cocktail of alien invasion, busty babes, bawdy comedy and big guns never gets old. The highly anticipated Duke Nukem Forever is a celebration of what video games are really about: an out loud good time. The game is huge, with hours and hours of over-the-top single player action, and a range of bodacious multiplayer modes like Duke Match, Capture the Babe and Hail to the king, players can rest assured knowing that the fun will last.

This review is from: Duke Nukem Forever (Video Game)
Let me start off by saying I've played all the Duke Nukem games (including the original 2-D side scrollers) and loved them. I was really looking forward to see the latest incarnation. I was disappointed to see all the negative reviews and thought it couldn't possibly be as bad as they say. I rented the game from Redbox to check it out before shelling out the full price. I am saddened to say the game really is bad.
My complaint is with the mechanics of the game play and not the crude humor. It's Duke Nukem after all. If you don't like crude, vulgar, sexist humor (and I do) then you shouldn't buy it to start with! The problem is the poor game play, boring levels, frustrating targeting and unbalanced damage received vs inflicted.
You have to interact with your environment by opening doors, picking up objects and pushing buttons, many times while trying to avoid enemies. Duke has to align precisely with the objects in order to interact. This is tedious when not fighting...Read more

This review is from: Duke Nukem Forever (Video Game)
For the first time in my life, I am considering selling a game before finishing it. I wanted to love this game, and it really pains me to say this, but this game isn't worth the frustration it causes--and it certainly isn't worth the absurd price tag.

Sadly, this review won't contain any information that hasn't already been stated ad nauseam by all the other frustrated players who are probably wishing they hadn't bought the game, either. Even so, I figured I would add my 2-star review in the hopes that others will take us seriously when we say YOU SHOULD NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Let's start with the basics. There's the graphics. It's blatantly obvious (at least to me) that most of the graphics were developed a decade ago, and then were retextured at the last second before final release. Unfortunately, the developers did an abysmal job covering their laziness. In the very first level, all one has to do is walk up to a wall and look at the posters to see the...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Unfairly panned; Duke Nukem Forever is a fun and unpolished blast from the past, June 14, 2011

This review is from: Duke Nukem Forever (Video Game)
Duke Nukem Forever is a game that was first revealed in 1997. Later thought to be released in 1999, that never quite happened. It's become the joke of the industry. 3D Realms remade the game multiple times on different engines, delayed it over and over again, then it looked like it was finally going to be released around 2008, but 3D Realms went belly up. Looking like it'd never see the light of day, Duke Nukem Forever fell 6 feet below into its own burial spot, but then came Gearbox to save the day. Gearbox decided not only to bring Duke Nukem Forever to gamers, they also decided to buy the rights to the intellectual property. However, was this a wise move? Read on to find out.

Positives:

- It's Duke - Yes, I know, many people won't find Duke's brand of absurdity very entertaining in the current world we now live in, but I still find his crass and raunchy attitude to be very likable. I've noticed a politically correct movement in gaming today. I've noticed...Read more
