I pre-ordered this on the idea that I loved Duke Nukem the last time around (you know, 14 years ago) and I also loved Gearbox Software's Borderlands. When the reviews came out, and they were, you know, pretty terrible, I was worried. Now that I finally got around to it, I must say the review are justified and I'm feeling the buyers remorse.
If this is what 14 years of development looks like, I'm sorry, but it should have stayed there. Aside from the juvenile humor and sad attempts to sex things up, this screams "generic shooter" at every turn. Everything is pedestrian, from weapons to level design. Only the portions where Duke is shrunk and the Monster Truck level save this from being dull as dishwater. Duke's quips get really old, really fast and the humor was more grating than anythi... |
