There's a fully functional pinball game, a crappy poker machine, slots, air hockey and much, much more, not to mention all the 'erotic' content (more on that later). There's as much variety as you'd expect in a semi-modern FPS, with the on-foot action sandwiched in between turret sections, monster truck rampages and even a bit where you get shrunk down to the size of an action figure and get to drive a remote-controlled car around. It's got references galore and some of Duke's quips can genuinely raise a chuckle, even if the vast majority is witless chaff. What we have instead is a solid, traditional FPS romp, crammed to the rafters with things to mess about with, mini-games to play, secrets to discover. Perhaps if it had been released 10 years ago, it might have done – it certainly feels like a game that should have come out in 2001 rather than 2011. It's defiantly 'old school' but critical reaction seems to have ignored this and treated it like it was meant to redefine how we see the FPS. Playing DNF feels like going back in time. The finished article is essentially a bigger version of Duke 3D with a lot more bells and whistles, but outdated and bearing the scars of a birth that took far longer than it needed.Ĭould we really have expected anything more? Only if we were being naïve. It is shite, but it’s shite in a specific way and it’s important you understand which way that is. Your reviewer is here today to tell you that those curmudgeons are wrong. Hard as it is to believe, there is life beyond the cosy bosom of Bit-Gamer, and if you've partaken of such a life in recent days, you may well have heard some opinions bandied about regarding the subject of today's analysis, namely Duke Nukem Forever.
