![]() Sadly, while that was a winning formula in 1996, it doesn’t have that magic any more. It should be indeed, but what players are really faced with here is a five hour, heavily linear dated shooter, with visuals that could just about pass for an Xbox 360 release title, and painfully tacked-on multiplayer.īut all that doesn’t matter, right? People don’t come to Duke Nukem games for originality, they come for guns, testosterone and cheesy one-liners. To its credit, at least Duke does not hide from the fact he kept his fans waiting, the very opening scene showing the hyper-masculine American hero breaking the fourth wall and playing the game himself, and having been asked if it was good replies ‘Well, after 12 f***ing years, it should be’. ![]() Somewhere down the line, 3D Realms, Piranha Games, Triptych Games and Gearbox (all having worked on the game throughout its ridiculous development cycle) completely lost the plot. There’s no easier way to say it Duke Nukem Forever is awful.Ī horrible, broken mess of a game that tries to be everything, but fails to even be a plain and simple shooter. Originally designed for the Nintendo 64 and Playstation, Duke Nukem Forever was going to be a groundbreaking masterpiece, an epitomising episode of epic FPS action that would shake the genre to its roots – and after a decade and a half, it’s only right for people to expect and even demand a game that blows minds and breaks records.īut as the Duke at long last awakens, the only record broken here is the biggest disappointment in gaming history. 15 long years Duke fans waited for the end-of-the-rainbow release of the King’s next outing.
