Conclusion

Looking back at the review, I can see it might paint a horrible picture of DNF, but despite its flaws, there is still some enjoyment to be derived from this game. I'd only really recommend it for people who loved Duke 3D though, as most of that enjoyment is of the nostalgic variety. At the time of this writing DNF was going for $19.99 on Steam, and they often times have it as part of their sales, almost GIVING it away.

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford likened Duke Nukem Forever to a greasy cheeseburger; sometimes you just want something that's cheap and tastes good. However, I propose that DNF is more akin to a Taco Bell burrito. Sometimes you crave one. You go out and buy it, but half way through it you wonder why you even bothered. And an hour later you're straining on the toilet, voiding your bowels, gripping the side of the bowl and moaning "Never again...never again". But eventually time will pass, memory will fade, and you'll start craving some Duke again...

Score: 65/100
