Once upon a time, people weren't afraid to insult someone and inject dumb jokes into a game. It's dumb, but that's what makes games fun. I didn't play this game when it came out, but now I think this game is much better than the modern novelties.

July 2024

FIRST OFF: Yes, get the game, but NO don't play it how it is. As it comes, the game is not good and definitely was a disappointment. What you will want to do is go to NexusMods and get a mod called Duke Nukem Forever Enhanced. This makes it play like it should have. Pros: Duke one liners and gorey nonsense. The level design is actually clever at times, especially at Duke Burger. The levels when you are shrunk are actually quite fun. Also, the holoduke is useful now. I swear that thing never helped me in the original game. The story is simple but effective for this goofy game. The voice acting isn't bad. There is a surprising amount of environmental story telling and physics based puzzles. Technically there is no traditional save system which is a con but the pro part of it, there is an quicksave feature (not sure if part of base game or was added with the mod) so you can still save scum to your heart's content. Cons: The sound effects are bad which is a huge buzzkill since that is arguably the most important part to me aside from the gameplay itself. The weapons and explosions sound weak for the most part. The game is rather short and the ending felt anti-climactic. Duke even makes a joke about it as it happens... Character movement isn't great. The base game is too slow and the mod I mentioned above improves that greatly but it still feels clunky, especially when jumping. So the numerous platforming segments are rather annoying. If you install the mod I mentioned above, the game will technically run outside of Steam meaning you won't get Steam to clock time. If the game has achievements then they won't work but I don't know if it does and I don't care because I don't achievement hunt. There is a way to force Steam to get it to still clock time but I didn't bother. Overall - The game is like Half Life 2 and Postal 2 had a baby and that mutant baby grew into this. You get a Half Life 2 style action adventure but with the ridiculous absurdity that you would expect from Postal 2. Hail to the King, baby!

If you ever wanted a game, that combines, Far Cry, Doom 3, Half-Life 2, Quake 4 and F.E.A.R. and Prey 2006 in one game, well this is the only game that do this, is not as good as any of the games that i listed, But is good on its own way in this case Duke Nukem Forever is a actually a Great Game, well this it comes from a DOOM, Quake and Unreal fan, so i know what a good games is, if ever you want to relive 2004, 2005, 2006 again, well Duke Nukem Forever is a must play game. Still this is only my opinion.

A good Classic style game. a boob slappin, booty grabbin, ball shootin, ass kicking of a game. CLASSIC game from just, 2011. it took 12 years to make, so youu know "itsGOOD"

Ironic that the last entry in the Nukem franchise is old enough now that it is almost as much of a classic as the original. Almost. Being as I don't keep up with trends and I don't read reviews on stuff I plan to just experience for myself without letting the medjya spoil it for me first, I don't know the specifics, but I seem to remember this entry was poorly received when it was released. Shame because there is quite a bit to like about this game in my opinion, and I think it fits well as the next installment when seen as the next evolution at the time, of Duke 3D. Love the vehicle love in this game, love the miniature worlds integration in certain levels/areas, piloting RC vehicles as both a full size operator, and as a mini 1st person drivers as well. Thought the level puzzles were decent without being so hard to make it not fun. Loved that to me, they had a lot of nods to the Half Life franchise, alien invasion via wormhole, succubus alien types, telekinetic alien types, and of course the classic original enemies as well, the lizards and mutated pig cops. All the original weapons are there. Not sure if its something you unlock or if it was added as DLC, but I remember the original game you could only hold two weapons akin to Halo, and then later at some point I noticed suddenly could hold a max of 4 weapons. I like being able to have 8 guns, but 4 is ok enough at least. Hold the weapon switch button down and you a kind of weapon wheel on the screen that you can direct select with the D pad so you don't have toggle through the whole chain to get to the gun you want. There are numerous environments, the plot and story was decent enough, at least as solid Duke 3D, better in some ways, the people models still hold up OK for being as old as they are, I believe this was done in UE3 or 4 maybe? I hope to see another modern title,, would have been awesome to see a movie that was hyped online for a bit then never happen. Duke Nukem Forever, hail to the king baby! If you are a Duke diehard then this game should be fun for you, I enjoyed it and still enjoy going back to play. Not sure when they released the DLC as I know when I had it on my xbox 360 way back, there was no DLC. Its a great addition and was great to play a fresh set of levels with expanded story. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if they got all nostalgic and release more DLC for it. Unfortunately I think this was yet another story of a studio going under after the game was released so pry will never happen, but yah get this game and the DLC if you haven't played it, or if its been a while and you had it on an older console, get it and play it again on steam! I don't care what anyone says, its time to kick arse and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum!
