3.0 out of 5 stars
Its very generic with a bit of crude humour, funny in places but not really justifying its price tag. I would wait till the price comes down a bit before you purchase it. Some of the mini games are fun but the overall game is very lacking. The bosses are easy and the AI is very simple. If you think about a game about 12x better than COD Black Opps you are about there (By which I mean its allot better looking and you actually get to play rather than watch videos of the action in the single player) Compared to CODBO price this game is the bargain of the century.
This game does use Steam so if you dont like Steam i wouldnt bother you should wait for a game with nasty DRM instead which wont run. Steam does not require you to download the game it will install from the Disk if you use the disks installer not just enter the key in steam.
Graphics wise:
Despite what other reviews say its graphics are better than HL2 and BF2. It does use the poor old UT3 engine so isn't the most amazing graphics however. The movement engine is also pretty rubbish and you do get hung up quite a bit. Personally i suffered no issues at all with the game running. A couple of brief jumps in odd parts of the game but nothing major (AMD 955BE, 8GB DDR3, ATI 6870, Windows 7 64).
Conclusion?
Wait for it to enter a bargain bin and you wont be disappointed as full price is way more than its worth.

In my opinion all of the low rated reviews are from people that were expecting too much from the game. This is only natural considering it's 12 year development cycle. So I can see their point of view. But I think the reviews stating it's the worst game they have ever played are either being overdramatic, or haven't played much of what there is out there. It's graphics ARE dated compared to modern games, but it still looked great to me. I ran it on my laptop (with nVidia GT555M graphics) at 1080p resolution with everything on highest settings. The game was smooth us butter all the time.
Where it scores is the sheer variety of things to do. There's many different types of levels with different kinds of puzzles to solve. All of this interractivity is where much of the development time has been spent. Some people complained about the very linear nature of the game. For the most part you can't make any decisions about the route through the game. I actually liked this! It meant that it was always relatively clear what I have to do next, and I can just enjoy killing the baddies and progressing through the game. Even though it's linear I still found the game length to be satisfying. It was well worth the money in my opinion (I didn't pay original full price, due to holding off based on initial poor reviews, but I think it is worth full price).
Good Points;
- Fun!
- Different kinds of puzzles
- Some brilliant funny comments from Duke
- Plays smoothly even on my laptop (admitedly it has fairly fast graphics hardware)
- Many different Bosses to beat
- Good story length
- Level design is clever and well thought out. Particularly the levels where Duke is shrunk to a tiny size
- Sounds are good and emerse you in the game
- Good variety of weapons, and you have to figure out which weapons are good for each enemy type
Bad Points:
- Graphics are dated compared to modern games
- Killing bosses is usually fairly repetative, and sometimes the difficulty isn't very balanced (some are too easy, some are too hard)
- Some of Duke's "joke" comments are not funny
- Some of the character animations look a little clunky
- Only able to hold two weapons at a time

I've played Duke Nukem from the original platform game through to the latest; Forever. I'm well aware of how anticipation and hype can ruin any new release, but to be fair 3D-Realms having been digging Duke's grave for a long time.
Over a decade late and it feels a decade old. Fiddly, sluggish controls that feeling nothing ever more than restrictive, the weapons and combat system is totally unintuitive and the levels are far too linear and gimmicky for any first person shooter.
The entire game relies purely on the wit, humour AND the storey line of the previous titles and it's just simply not good enough. This is a seriously flawed product, gaming has not progressed thus far for us to accept releases like this.
It's embarrassing to admit that Duke Nukem 3D of 1996 is a much more complete piece of software with solid game play and an original feel. All of which is denied to us in Duke Nukem Forever.
