Yeah, this game is no where near as good as Duke Nukem 3D, but I don't think it's as bad as everyone says it is. Outside of the dated graphics and humor, the game is alright. There's still a lot of environmental interactivity, you can increase your health in various ways, and many Duke 3D enemies and weapons return. The shooting is actually kinda fun, I liked weapons like the shotgun and the shrinker, many Duke 3D enemies like the Assault Troopers, Octabrains and Pigcops return with many of them being not changed that much, and I think most of them are satisfying to kill. The game often has puzzles and driving sections that serve as distractions from the combat and I didn't care much for them. Boss fights suck since the bosses can easily kill you and there's no checkpoints between boss phases. So you fought the final boss and you die in the last phase? Too bad, you are sent to the beginning of the fight.


Duke Nukem Forever is not really a bad game imo, just alright. The combat is actually fun and the minigames are fun especially if you play them to get health boosts. But then the bad boss fights, the sections that distract you from the combat and other things bog the experience down.

7/10

No aim...

I ran out of gum....
