Duke Nukem Forever - the game that many thought was never going to appear - is hitting, and it?s hitting hard. Basically, like its ancestor the 1991 original, Duke Nukem Forever is a hardcore shoot-?em-up that sees the Duke fighting off hordes of aliens in order to save the world. This time the game is being developed by Gearbox (Borderlands).
That hasn?t changed the fact that it features Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses? and, of course, babes. Lots and lots of babes.
Aside from shooting everything in sight (and behind and above) the gamer (as Duke) gets to shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards and gaze lustily at babes... lots of babes.
The game features locations in the USA from the Las Vegas Strip to the Hoover Dam. In these environments, the Duke gets to unleash his mighty arsenal of optimally dangerous weaponry including shotguns, RPGs, pipe bombs and much, much more. This is complemented in a very ,very adult world by a range of mad vehicles, puzzles to be solved, and extremely violent first-person shooter-based plotting to follow if the Duke is going to save the world.
Multi-player modes are also included in the long-awaited game. These will enable you to beat your opponent in a variety of hideous ways from fragging, freezing and shattering to exploding and pipe-bombing.

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 and deadly when trying to pick up an object to throw at an enemy while it is inflicting damage on you. The targeting on the weapons is difficult to control while in a battle resulting in a lot of wasted ammo. Also, the crosshairs are white and tend to blend into the background making it hard to determine where you are shooting. You can also only carry two weapons, which takes away a lot of the fun of the old game where you could kill enemies in varied ways by switching between the many weapons you carried. You also tend to run out of ammo quickly because you only have two weapons.
