So this is what we've been waiting for, it seems: a tedious and unattractive sci-fi shooter that would quickly hit the bargain bin if it weren't called Duke Nukem Forever. Duke may be an icon, but he's just going through the motions in this stitched-together collection of poorly paced levels, which...

It's fun to shrink enemies and stomp on them

Long; boring platforming and driving sections; The shooting lacks impact; Ugly visuals and jerky frame rates; Short levels separated by long loading screens; Fails to be shocking; sexy; or funny

Duke Nukem Forever will forever have taken hours of Kevin VanOrd's life; find out how to avoid a similar fate in this video review.

I have played and completed Duke Nukem Forever . Right now the me of ten years ago is gushing with questions, in particular "how good is it?" The simple answer is "not as good as Duke Nukem 3D was". For more than that, read on. So, am I going to take 13 plus years of development into account?
