- Strengths:
- It's Duke! Funny as hell! If you loved him before, you'll love him now. All the naughty language and TWICE the nudity!!!!
- Weaknesses:
- Graphics engine does not play nice with my crossfired HD6970 cards. What's up with that? Always running out of ammo (I refuse to suck so bad I have to use cheats).
- Summary:
- This is Duke. If you don't like it, I'm sure Duke is all concerned about it....not.
It's just what Duke fans were expecting. Sure, it could have been a little longer, but at least it's finally here. Unfortunately you HAVE to use Steam (which sucks), no LAN compatibility at all. The game is funny, witty, sexist and everything else you'd expect.
But, hey, did I mention it's DUKE??????
The Duke is back!

- Strengths:
- - Duke-style fun
- cool Weapons
- Weaknesses:
- Graphics not top-notch but still good.
- Summary:
- Folks who haven't played the original Duke Nukem 3D game more than a decade ago, probably can't appreciate this sequel to the fullest. In my opinion overall an enjoyable game Duke-style. Therefore I say...
Kick A$$ and chew Bubblegum!
Not so good.

- Strengths:
- It is a shout out to the original Duke 3-D.
- Weaknesses:
- Only two weapons can be used at a time.
Seriously, 12 years of development and you are still a completely linear game with corny, or outright crappy dialogue from the main character. Sure it gets a few laughs but it's one of the only selling points.
- Summary:
- Don't buy this until it's in the bargain bin.

- Strengths:
- -Fun
-Nostalgic
-It's got ... Duke Nukem!
- Weaknesses:
- Nothing much yet, but i'm not getting too deep into everything.
- Summary:
- I think peole are expecting something this game was not, and probably not supposed to be. Duke was the first FPS I played and I thought it was great then, and reliving the experience is great fun. I enjoy it greatly so far and figure I will like it to the end. Though I may be bias, as I rarely play anything too new (starcraft 2 and COD:WAW are probably the latest I have), I play old games mostly and really am only rating this on it be worth the nostalgia and the fun I have at it.
It's very duke....

- Strengths:
- - Decent Graphics (Not top notch but not bad either)
- Technological Concepts
- Very "Duke" Styled (Will tickle the interests of old duke fanboys)
- Interesting Weapons & Items
- Online play is interesting (although not terribly deep)
- Weaknesses:
- - Plot, Jokes & Methodology are still rooted in the 90s.
- Not the greatest animation (no mo-cap).
The "Duke" style is lost on today's generation, or even oldie gamers in today's market. It's not a shock lots of other people can't appreciate duke for what it is.
- Summary:
- Was it worth the cost of the game? Depends.
If you're just an FPS enthusiast than this probably wont stack up to your expectations. If you're an old school duke fan you'll love a lot about the game but probably will still feel like it didn't bring enough to the table.
My advice to anyone playing this game is treat it like an old Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. Yes, it's ridiculous and cheesy, and there isn't much plot, but just enjoy it for what it is.
Missed the Point

- Strengths:
- - Immature Humour
- Kinda funny
- Weaknesses:
- - Gameplay was ignored, almost unplayable by today's standards (invisible walls, mostly non-interactive environments, slow)
- Levels are purely linear (no real exploration)
- Totally immature, only worth playing once (if worth that.)
- Summary:
- The designers must have played the first game and taken note of the jokes, but ignored that the playability of the first one made it a hit. Games have evolved so much in the past twenty years and expansive, immersing environments allow so much more than one play-through. This feels like an old $5 shareware game from the early 90s with slightly better graphics. I didn't expect the game to be great, but this, incredibly for a game 12 years in the works, feels rushed, and kind-of insulting.
Good for a Laugh

- Strengths:
- -A humorous game, good for some simple mindless fun and lots of laugh (if you have a sense of humor).
-Works great in Eyefinity (3 x 24" Monitors in Portrait Mode), didn't even have to set the resolution manually, just worked.
-Graphics are Average, not bad, but not Crysis (wasn't expecting it to be). But runs great and smooth.
- Weaknesses:
- - Not particularily deep single player experience. (gasp: shocking)
- Multiplayer experience is sooooo 1990s (gasp: shocking)
- Summary:
- I too wonder what the hell took over 12 years to get this game out.. But I'm glad it finally did, just for the nostalgia of playing Duke again. Some of the one liners make me LOL, and I enjoy blasting up some Aliens old school style for a change... On the highest difficulty for the hell of it.
$50 may be a bit steep for some on this on though..
Great Game

- Strengths:
- The graphics are damn good... omg they aren't the best in the world they are damn nice and you can't complain about them. Great guns, GREAT Lines, NUDITY WOOT! FUN FUN FUN! I really enjoy blowing limbs and legs off targets. I don't know why this game has so much hate. Newbs think Call Of Duty is better then this game are retards, like the NEWBS above.You drive monster trucks remote control cars, Shrink and step. so much to it.... o ya air hockey kicks ass... well give it a try
- Weaknesses:
- 2 Gun no big deal. NOT state of the art graphics but looks GREAT! graphics mean crap? Isn't it about gameplay? Losers above me probably pirated the game. They also probably played it on easy!
- Summary:
- Overall great game I highly recommend getting it!
Yikes!

- Strengths:
- It's a short game. Could have been great..... 8 years ago.
- Weaknesses:
- It starts with the packaging and gets worse from there.
- Summary:
- Anyone interested in this game should steer clear and think about playing something else. Do yourself a favor and take up knitting. You will be more satisfied.
